Dietary strategies for blood sugar management

Overview

Medical and health authorities are providing dietary guidance to manage blood sugar levels and prevent diabetes complications.

Initial recommendations focus on the order of food consumption—prioritizing vegetables, then protein, and finally carbohydrates—as well as eating pace and cooking methods. Experts suggest steaming, boiling, or eating raw foods to minimize Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) and recommend lean proteins and unsweetened beverages.

Further guidance, including principles from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, emphasizes the ‘3J’ principle: proper timing (Jadwal), proper amount (Jumlah), and proper type (Jenis) of food. Specific strategies for carbohydrate management include choosing complex options like red rice or quinoa and utilizing techniques such as cooling cooked rice to increase resistant starch or adding coconut oil during cooking to slow carbohydrate absorption.
