Hi all, after few days of holiday, is time to blog again. My friend just shared a link with me of a famous 80's Hong Kong Cantopop singer article (the article is in chinese but I can't find any english one) from Sin Chew daily. She is Sally Yip or known as Yip Sin Man who is popular for her music and wiki even calls her as "Celine Dion of Hong Kong". Well, the article mentions that she had diabetes right now after her dad is also a diabetes patient, but her case is light and just need certain diet control. Therefore, I would take this chance to share to everyone some diet tips for first stage of diabetes. 


Some might heard before that taking certain type of rice can control blood glucose level. Actually all type of rice can be served for diabetes people, the key is to control the portion size of intake for each meal. For each lunch or dinner, rice intake should be limit to only 1 Chinese Bowl only (search the size of the bowl). Any rice I mean can be white rice, brown rice, Jasmine Rice, Basmati Rice and so on which contain the same amount of sugar after being digested. Brown rice contains more fiber compare to white rice (for your information). So we need to control our intake rather than type of rice intake. In addition, consistent meal time is important for diabetes people. You better schedule your meal every week. I believe if you follow a correct dietary guidance, you can enjoy your life as normal too. For every diabetes people, cheers !


港星葉蒨文表示早前驗身，發現遺傳了父親的糖尿病，雖然不算嚴重，暫毋須吃藥，但飲食方面也需要小心，她會吃一種特別的米，並且需要戒口。我对控制糖尿病也有一些看法。对于糖尿病患者，所有类型的米都可食用，只有一个事情需要记住就的是控制每次食用的份量。例如，每一顿午餐或晚餐，饭的摄取量应为1碗。所有米实际上是含有相同的糖份，包括白米饭，糙米，香米等。糙米比白米饭含有较多的纤维，可以有效缓和糖份吸收。但是，我们还是应该限制米的摄入量，而不是选择任何特定的米和摄取过度的食用份量。定时吃饭也是对糖尿病患者很重要的。千万不要害怕食用任何面包或米饭。如果能够依照正确的饮食指南，你仍然可以享受食物的。
