Low Carb Products Now Available at our Clinic

 

The most effective way to manage diabetes is not necessarily by increasing medications, but by lowering blood sugar naturally through a diet lower in carbohydrates, which prevents spikes in blood glucose levels. This approach is a crucial aspect of diabetes management and deserves emphasis. For those newly diagnosed or with mild diabetes, proper dietary choices may even allow control without medication.

At our clinic, we now offer three products designed to help reduce carbohydrate intake, supporting better blood glucose control and overall metabolic health.

1.  Allulose 500g $13
Allulose is a rare natural sugar that has about 70% of the sweetness of regular sugar but provides almost no calories. Unlike glucose or fructose, it does not significantly raise blood sugar or insulin levels, making it a promising alternative sweetener for people with diabetes. Studies suggest that allulose may help improve insulin sensitivity, reduce post-meal glucose spikes, and even support fat metabolism. Because it tastes and behaves like sugar in cooking and baking, it offers a way for diabetics to enjoy sweetness without compromising blood glucose control.

2. Upgrain Flour 1 kg $15

Upgrain flour is a low-carb, high-fiber flour made from plant-based fibers from grains, fruits, and vegetables. With about half the carbohydrates of regular wheat flour and high dietary fiber, it helps slow carbohydrate absorption and reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. This makes it a suitable option for people with diabetes who want to enjoy baked goods and meals while managing blood glucose levels.

3.  Fukumi Rice $26

Fukumi rice, also known as konjac rice or porang rice, is a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate rice alternative made from the konjac plant's root. A 100g serving of Fukumi rice contains approximately 70 calories, 16g of carbohydrates, and 6g of fiber, making it a suitable option for those aiming to control blood sugar levels. The high fiber content, specifically soluble fiber, helps slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to more stable blood glucose levels. 

ICan i3 Continuous Glucose Monitor

Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) empowers you to take control of your blood sugar by providing 24-hour monitoring. With real-time insights, you can see how different foods affect your glucose levels and make informed choices to avoid spikes, helping you achieve better blood sugar control.
