Singapore's government has run a formal War on Diabetes programme since 2016 — a recognition that hawker food's carb density (chicken rice, laksa, char kway teow) plus the Asian-specific insulin resistance profile makes T2D a national-scale problem. The food culture is non-negotiable; almost every Singaporean eats at hawker centres daily. Our Singapore plans hack hawker orders: chicken rice with extra cucumber and half rice, laksa with more tau pok than noodles, roti prata reduced to weekly.
State-level adult T2D prevalence: ~10.9%. Singapore T2D prevalence is 10.9% (IDF) and the government has declared War on Diabetes since 2016; hawker culture's rice/noodle density plus Asian-specific insulin resistance drive this rate.India is home to approximately 101 million adults living with Type 2 diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) — one of the world's largest at-risk populations.
Government-recommended modification — halve the fragrant rice.

Hakka vegetable-herb rice — high-fiber hawker option.
Treat, not default — ghee-layered paratha is a GI bomb.
