What to eat when you don’t want to cook? : Dietitians’ recommendation for people with Diabetes

Lots of fiber (max up on the veggies!), great choices of tasty protein and a whole meal option.

But beware and exercise some control on the sauces. 2 sauces maximum!

Tauhu bakar, or Tauhu sumbat for afternoon tea - simple snack to enjoy outside while chatting with friends.

Protein and fibers (from Tauhu sumbat) with some indulging, but controlled sweetness from the dipping sauce. (but don't go overboard!)

Sushi is a very good balanced and combination of food for diabetes. 

Contrary on what you read on Google, eating sushi and sashimi help you to maintain a good control blood glucose when eating with guidance of dietitian.

How many sushi we eat during the course and how many sashimi we can take to balance it as well as including the edamame which helps in lowering the GI for overall food.

The art of eating can be designed and excellent results can be achieved with the guidance, for a good quality of life.

It is an easy meal to grab on the go - unlike the burger patty, it adds to healthy diet as it provides a lot of protein without adding extra fat considering that the chicken is not fried, but marinated roasted adding with veggies. 

It makes a complete meals of carbohydrates, protein and fiber.

Request more veggies and limit the sauces are the best way to have the healthy shawarma!

Soy bean is always been my favourite as it is so versatile and can be used in many dishes.
I want to recommend “Tau-foo-fah”, or "Dou Hua"-  which is a famous Chinese dessert.

It is made from super tender and silky tofu. It is so delicate that It will literally melt in your mouth. Tau foo fah is always enjoyed with ginger syrup or brown sugar.

Soy bean is a good source of protein, it is suitable for people with diabetes to enjoy it as a snack. Ask the hawker to separate the syrup so you can control the amount of sugar that you want to mix with. 

Kaisen nabe means “seafood hotpot” in Japanese. They use chicken broth as soup base. (or you can choose kimchi soup if you are a spicy lover like me!) 

The pot is packed with assorted seafoods like clams, shrimps and squid, and a lot of veggies. Perfect.

You can still find Kaisen nabe in other japanese restaurant if Sushi-ya is not in your area!
