Diabetics often find it challenging to get a completely balanced and nutritional meal. Often, they think avoiding rice is the key to controlling their sugar level.

“This is a mistake because diabetics need to have carbohydrates for energy and it is important that they segregate the carbohydrate-loading,” says Sime Darby Medical Centre, Subang Jaya, Selangor, dietetics and food services manager Nurul Aziah Musa.
