Abstract

The importance of low carbohydrate diet (LCD) has been emphasized across the world, in which Dr. Bernstein has contributed much for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). For preventing post-prandial hyperglycemia (PPH), Glycemic index (GI) would be important. They include slow swallowing, swallowing less, rice with less moisture, brown rice than white rice, white rice than rice cake, cooking rice with oil, addition of turmeric, garlic or saffron powders. Effective tips can lower rapidly digestible starch (RDS) and increase slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS). Self-emulsifying delivery systems (SEDSs) can produce more curcumin instant rice (CIR), which increases the SDS ratio.
