[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2135633, member: 503481"] I’ve been told certain ethnicities are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes and Asian is one of them. From witnessing what they eat, they do eat a relatively high carb diet, a lot of rice, breads in combination of high fat meats, sauces etc. I’m not south Asian, my mum is from GuangXi, China and my dad is from Hanoi, Vietnam and while we are the petite range of people, the food we eat can be quite scary. I know the vietnamese really love their pork bellies in pho and with my mum, mostly congee. We can’t forget asian desserts and sweets are loaded with sugar as well - mung bean cakes, moon cakes (especially around this time of year, mid autumn festival), coconut milk with jellies, bubble tea etc. [/QUOTE]
