Fruits are not bad for people with diabetes but some choices are better than others

9 Sept 19:47 Key points summarised by AI

Diabetics can safely consume fruits, but mindful selection and strict portion control are crucial to effectively manage blood sugar levels.
Prioritize low-glycemic index (GI) fruits like guavas, pomelo, and specific banana varieties to ensure stable blood sugar after meals.
Limit daily fruit intake to 2-3 servings, even for low-GI options, as excessive consumption can still lead to rapid blood sugar spikes.
Grapes, particularly green and red varieties, can be included in a diabetic diet in moderation (15-20 per serving) for their nutritional benefits, despite their sugar content.
Thoroughly wash all fruits, especially those with reported chemical residues like Shine Muscat grapes, using water, vinegar, or baking soda solutions to ensure safety.

Thailand's Education Ministry is implementing a four-pronged strategy to address its students' below-average performance in PISA 2025 and tackle significant educational inequality.
The plan prioritizes closing performance gaps by increasing funding for small and low-income schools, overhauling the curriculum to foster critical thinking, and adopting a data-driven management system to reduce teacher workload.
Key initiatives include enhancing school safety, combating cyberbullying, and expanding mental health support through peer-to-peer networks, recognizing the severe impact of distress on academic performance.
An education expert advises verifying if PISA improvements stem from structural changes, advocating for a revived STEM curriculum with practical 'learn by doing' methods, and urging bureaucratic reform to link teacher evaluations to student development.
