Health Check Episode 2 Duration: 11 mins Synopsis: In this fortnightly podcast series on Tuesdays, The Straits Times guides you to healthier living and debunks the myths with expert guests. This episode targets diabetics and the general public as well, if they want to avoid diabetes. Get practical dieting tips especially if you have been recently diagnosed with diabetes. How do you navigate when eating out or at hawker centres? How do you keep your portions controlled, to avoid blood glucose levels shooting up? What vegetables should you go for? When it comes to one of Singapore's favourite breakfast sets - the kaya toast meal and its accompanying drink - what can you tweak, to make it a healthier set?
