The rising number of people with Type 2 diabetes in Indonesia is seen\nas necessitating a treatment approach that is not only practical but\nalso measurable and scientifically validated. Dr.\u00a0Kelvin Candiago,\nfounder of the mGanik health ecosystem, regards controlling postprandial\nblood sugar spikes as one of the challenges frequently faced by people\nwith diabetes. \u2018Diabetes is a real health crisis in Indonesia.\nTherefore, a solution that is measurable, validated, and can be felt\ndirectly by people with diabetes is needed, especially to prevent\npost-meal blood sugar spikes,\u2019 said Kelvin in a statement on Friday\n(22\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
Over the past decade, the number of diabetes cases in Indonesia has\ncontinued to rise. Most cases are Type 2 diabetes linked to dysfunction\nin glucose regulation. One of the issues often faced by people with Type\n2 diabetes is postprandial blood sugar spikes, or an elevation in blood\nsugar two hours after eating. This condition is considered to complicate\nblood sugar control if not addressed properly.<\/p>\n
To address this issue, mGanik Nutrition conducted a clinical trial of\nthe fibre drink product mGanik Metafiber to study the effect of fibre\nconsumption on postprandial blood sugar spikes. The clinical trial\ninvolved 30 people with Type 2 diabetes and used a crossover design. In\nthe study, participants underwent two different conditions: eating\nwithout fibre product consumption and eating after consuming the fibre\nproduct first.<\/p>\n
Blood glucose levels were measured at regular intervals at 15, 30,\n45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after meals with the same nutritional intake\nin each condition. Based on the results, the company stated that\nconsuming the fibre product before meals was associated with a reduction\nin postprandial blood sugar spikes compared with the condition without\nthe product. The company says the reduction in blood sugar spikes was\nevident from the early measurement phase and continued for the two-hour\npost-meal period. Overall, the results showed that the two-hour\npostprandial blood sugar rise was lower than in the condition without\nthe product.<\/p>\n
mGanik Nutrition states that the clinical trial has been validated by\nan accredited university in Indonesia. According to Dr.\u00a0Kelvin, a\ndata-driven approach and scientific proof are important to ensure that\nhealth interventions truly benefit people with diabetes.<\/p>\n
Postprandial blood sugar spikes are one of the aspects to monitor in\nmanaging Type 2 diabetes. Controlling blood sugar is considered helpful\nin keeping the metabolic condition of people with diabetes stable. In\naddition to diet and physical activity, fibre intake is often\nrecommended to help slow the absorption of glucose in the body.<\/p>\n
Against the backdrop of rising diabetes prevalence in Indonesia,\nvarious nutrition-based approaches and health interventions are being\ndeveloped. However, these approaches are considered to need scientific\nvalidation so that their effectiveness can be measured objectively.\n(I-1)<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/diabetes-management-must-be-measurable-and-scientifically-validated-1779542014", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
