Assalamu alaikum,

What the heck are betal leafs?

Anyway, I'm bengali and rice with curry or dal (lentils,I think) is something we eat often.

Really, bengali's love fish? I had no idea.

I'm more of a shawarma person, I could live off of it.

Wa 'alaikum salam

i think betal leaves are called PAN

Hey u gotta explain what these are??? I might wanna try them out

Rendang: Beef/chicken cooked with coconut milk, chilli and spices. Imagine slow cooking your chicken curry for 4 hours on a VERY,VERY low heat. I remember liquifying the coconut meat [yeah, the white stuff inside the coconut] after my mom fried it. So that it will bring the flavor. Not good if you're on a low carb or low calorie diet.

Dodol: Oh dear! My family made it only once and we promised never to make it again. It's brown sugar, plus coconut milk and sometimes flavoring like durian, being heated up on a very very low fire for hours and hours until the whole concoction become jelly like. Final product: Sticky and sweet! If you're wearing retainers, watch out!

Can you explain to me how diabetes is caused by neglectful parents??? It's weird 'cause i've always known it to be caused by lack of insulin :? Do you have medical qualifications or something?

There are three kinds of diabetes:

(1) Juvenile onset diabetes
(2) Adult onset diabetes
(3) Diabetes insipidus.

The diabetes that you refer to is genetically caused, thus, the lack of insulin production to convert blood sugar into useful energy packets. So, patients inject insulin to help their body out.

The diabetes that the brother's talking about is (2) where improper diet and too much intake of refined carbohydrates exhaust the mechanism by which insulin uses to transport free flowing sugar in the blood into our cells. So, people with (2) take tablets that help their insulin to do the job.

The brother is right.

I wouldn't say irreponsible or neglectful, but maybe not careful or uninformed about the effects of too much sugar and refined carbohydrates do cause adult onset diabetes (2) in many teenagers.

If you'd like to know more, please go to any low carbohydrates diet advocates website. I'm beginning to sound like a dietician here...

Assalamu'Alaykum

Just a reminder to myself and all here on this forum.

Please fear Allaah and think before you hit the 'submit' button. Another thing is to be careful with ‘general’ statements in a gathering, you are likely to offend people with out doing so intentionally. One of my sisters actually has diabetes shge got it at the age of 5 and its had nothing to do with her ‘parents being neglectful’ it was hereditary and also most importantly the will of Allaah. So again let us be mindful of our words and thoughts that we share.
