YOGYAKARTA People with diabetes need to be selective in choosing the takjil menu or dishes to break the fast so that the level of glucose in the blood remains controlled. In the month of Ramadan, a diabetic also needs to avoid too sweet foods in order to avoid too drastic increase in blood sugar. So, what is the takjil menu for recommended diabetics?
The following are a variety of takjil menus that are safe for consumption for diabetics:
1. Young coconut ice
Young coconut ice is one of the dishes of takjil breaking fast which is safe for diabetics. However, consumption should not be excess. Only 1-2 glasses, and there is no need to add sweeteners such as sugar or sirop.
In addition to being able to quench thirst after fasting all day, young coconut water is also rich in vitamins and minerals that are good for health. You can also eat coconut meat, but once again, it should not be excessive.
2. Date
Although it tastes very sweet, dates are safe for diabetics to consume.
Dates have a fairly low glycemic index, so there is no need to worry that blood sugar levels will spike drastically after consuming them.
3. Cuts
Cuts can also be a safe takjil menu for diabetics. Some of the fruits that can be consumed are apples, bananas, pirings, and melons. These fruits have low glycemic index levels.
Although the fruits are safe to consume, you still shouldn't eat them too much. The reason is, fruit contains natural sugar (fructose). If you consume too much, then your blood sugar levels can increase.
