1. Can people with diabetes eat familiar dishes?
Absolutely – but those dishes must be redesigned following Low GI (Glycemic Index) standards, meaning they won’t cause a spike in blood sugar after meals.
Many still believe: “If you have diabetes, you can’t eat noodles, porridge, bread” – but that’s not true with today’s nutritional science. The issue lies not in the dishes themselves, but in the starch content and cooking methods.
2. Why prioritize low-GI foods?
The GI reflects the rate of carbohydrate absorption after eating:
- High GI: Causes a rapid spike in blood sugar.
- Low GI: Slower absorption, stable blood sugar, less fluctuation.
→ For people with diabetes, low-GI foods help maintain stable glucose levels, reduce fatigue, and prevent complications with the eyes, kidneys, and heart.
3. Principles for making a bowl of porridge – a plate of noodles – a slice of pizza safe for people with diabetes:
- Use low-GI rice flour (lab-tested at research institutes).
- Control starch intake per serving.
- Combine with protein and vegetables to slow down sugar absorption.
- Avoid high-sugar flavorings such as honey, syrup, industrial sauces.
Examples:
- A bowl of Le Lan porridge made with low-GI rice flour, no fast carbs, ~150 kcal → suitable as a snack.
- A “diabetic-friendly pizza” made with low-GI rice flour, no sweet toppings, no industrial cheese.
4. A solution for busy people: Convenient yet verified foods
Le Lan is developing a line of low-GI convenience foods: instant porridge, frozen pizza, dried noodles – designed specifically for people with chronic conditions.
Formulas are transparent, GI levels are tested, and products can be consumed directly at home or in the office.
Conclusion
People with diabetes don’t need to suffer or eat bland diets. The key is to understand GI principles and choose the right foods. No skipping meals – No extreme restrictions – This is the true recipe for long-term healthy living.
