YOGYAKARTA - Instant noodles are practical and delicious dishes that are loved by many people, but often a question for those with diabetes. So, can diabetics consume instant noodles?

In the midst of convenience and affordable prices, there are concerns about nutritional content and its impact on health, especially blood sugar levels. Let's take a further look at the facts about instant noodle consumption for individuals with diabetes.

If you are a diabetic and like instant noodles, you don't have to completely avoid them.

Reporting from the Tap Health page, by making smarter choices and controlling portions, you can still enjoy noodles without having a negative impact on blood sugar levels. Here are some tips to help you make healthier choices:

One of the easiest ways to make noodles safer for diabetics is to choose whole wheat noodles than those made from fine flour.

Please note, whole grain paste, spring noodles, or red rice noodles contain more fiber and nutrients, which help slow sugar absorption into your bloodstream.

If you are looking for a lower carbohydrate alternative, consider mi zucchini (zoodle) or mi shirataki. Mi shirataki are made of conjac roots and very low carbohydrates, and make it an excellent choice for diabetics who pay attention to blood sugar levels.

Control of portion is very important for managing blood sugar levels. Even if you choose whole wheat noodles or low carbohydrates, eating in large portions can still lead to an increase in blood sugar.

Please note, the common size of the pasta portion is about one cup after cooking. If you add a sauce or other ingredient, make sure you don't burden your plate with too many carbohydrates.

To balance your diet, consider pairing your noodles with non-independent vegetables such as spinach, peppers, and zucchini. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and provide a lot of fiber and nutrients.

Many pasta sauces contain a lot of sugar, especially tomato sauce and packaged sauce. To keep your blood sugar levels stable, make your own sauce at home with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and spices.

Avoid cream sauce or made with thick cream, because it can add unhealthy fats and calories.

Then if you order noodles from a restaurant, ask for a separate sauce or choose an olive oil-based sauce instead of one containing cream or sugar.

Some traditional noodle dishes, especially in Asian cuisine, are served with high- sugar or fried topping sauce. For example, soy sauce is often used in tumisan which contains high levels of sodium and can contribute to high blood pressure.

For this reason, always choose low soy sauce or other healthy spices, such as miso or low-tamirium, when preparing your noodles.
