Diabetic and diet

What is challenge about diabetis in Malaysia. Mainly diet. This is due to Malaysia is multiracial country. Multiracial=multi cultural= variety tasty food. Most of variety food is not cholesterol friendly or diabetic friendly.
Most pt like NASI LEMAK, MILO, rice or king of fruit durian. This equal to bad sugar control. The challenging part of doctor is if you ask them to reduce those food intake is equal to IRRITATION . If you ask them to reduce rice intake, they will shout to you then what should i eat. If you said vegetable( 2 green), protein. They will said i don't have teeth to chew meet and vege. The best part is if they are warded , they will comment the meet is hard like stone. the vege is not fresh. The food is lousy as a result force to eat nasi lemak.

This is the normal accusation of pt and anti of diabetic diet. Really take time to counsel, estimate time 20 minute and above. First need to deal with their anger. Next....... Exact way of breaking the bad news. The bad news to them is their lost of their love ones-high sugar content food.
challenge is it will appear back- back to old habit-high sugar content food
