Kanji is mostly water, so it is the safest way for a sugar patient to eat rice. Kanji is a cooling food, so it cools down high blood sugar too. A large bowl of kanji can carry as much rice as a full plate meal. Plain strained kanji water is a light drink a sugar patient can take every day. Making kanji thick instead of watery genuinely helps the sugar response. Pazhankanji — last night's rice soaked overnight — digests more slowly than the same rice eaten fresh and hot. Pazhankanji brings blood sugar down. Since pazhankanji is the healthier form, it can be taken alongside the usual breakfast. Overnight rice keeps until the next evening as long as the vessel stays covered. Ragi kanji is good for diabetes however it is made. A little jaggery in ragi kanji is acceptable, because jaggery is natural. Prepared the same way, ragi kanji treats blood sugar more kindly than white-rice kanji. Moringa leaf kanji — murunga leaves, cow peas, a little rice, fresh coconut — is one of the better bowls for diabetes. Moringa leaves work well enough on sugar to replace diabetes medicines. If illness leaves me on kanji alone, I should skip my insulin because I am hardly eating. Illness pushes blood sugar up even when almost no food is going in. Read the full kanji answer
