Summary

In Singapore, the Ministry of Health has declared a "War on Diabetes" and major efforts will be made to develop and deploy programs to prevent diabetes. One of the cornerstones of diabetes management involves dietary modifications to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia. However, implementation of a low GI diet is highly complex requiring the individual to choose foods from a long list which are primarily based on western consumption patterns. Many foods in the Asian diet, which largely consist of carbohydrates such as white rice, noodles and other flour-based products, are not represented. An alternative solution will require innovative ways to alter commonly available food products that will not only help reduce postprandial glycaemia but also preserve the sensory characteristics of the foods to create a new generation of food products both functional and palatable.
