Diabetes management is about balance, not starvation. Experts endorse the "Suku-Suku Separuh" plate (1/4 carbs, 1/4 protein, 1/2 veggies), allowing even Nasi Lemak with portion adjustments.

Key takeaways: Limit durian to 2-3 seeds without self-adjusting medication, and don't rely on low-sugar rice cookers over portion control. Early Type 2 diabetes is potentially reversible through weight loss. Rely on professional advice, not folk remedies.
