In people's daily lives, most of the food they eat contains carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy, which can keep the body's functions functioning normally and keep the body healthy.
However, people with diabetes can not consume a large amount of carbohydrates, because these components will be metabolized into sugar after entering the body, and these sugars cannot be fully utilized and decomposed by the body, which is easy to cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
If diabetics don't want their blood sugar to get out of control, they should avoid eating the following five staple foods.
1. Fritters. Many people like to eat fritters and soy milk in the morning, but fritters are fried foods made of flour, calories and carbohydrates are relatively high, even normal people often eat fritters have the risk of body fat.
Therefore, diabetics are best to avoid eating fritters, so as not to cause the body to become obese, resulting in increased blood sugar and blood lipid levels.
2. Bread. Bread is a staple food that people often eat in daily life. Some diabetics will often eat sugar-free coarse grain bread in order to avoid their blood sugar levels, which will satisfy the desire to eat bread and will not make the blood sugar fluctuate too much.
But diabetics still have to know that bread will also add butter when making, and its raw materials still include flour, which contains a lot of carbohydrates, which will also increase blood sugar levels after entering the body, so bread is not the best staple food for diabetics.
3. Cake. Most diabetics know that a lot of flour and sugar is added to making cakes.
In order to make the cake look better, a lot of pigments are added. Therefore, diabetics generally do not choose ordinary cakes, but choose some sugar-free cakes, but these cakes are still raw materials and flour;
After entering the human body, it will still affect blood sugar levels, so diabetics should still try to eat less sugar-free cake.
4. Glutinous rice. Anyone with diabetes should try to avoid foods made from glutinous rice, because the glycemic index of glutinous rice is relatively high.
And most of the food made of glutinous rice will add ingredients such as bean paste, brown sugar, and dates, such as rice dumplings, tangyuan, rice dumplings, etc.;
If these foods are eaten by diabetics, they can also cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. Therefore, diabetics should try to avoid eating foods made of glutinous rice.
5. Porridge. Many people think that porridge is a relatively easy to digest and absorb food, which is extremely good for the body. But for diabetics, porridge is a staple food that easily raises blood sugar. It just so happens that because its degree of gelatinization is relatively high, after entering the body, it will be quickly digested and absorbed.
Therefore, after a meal, blood sugar is easy to rise sharply, but it will drop rapidly after a while, resulting in too much fluctuation in blood sugar, but it will increase the damage to the body. For diabetics, try to avoid eating porridge foods.
If diabetics want to keep their blood sugar stable, they should try to eat as few as possible the above 5 staple foods.
You can use some coarse grains plus a small amount of rice mixed into rice to eat, dishes should pay attention to less oil and salt, peppers, do not eat a lot of meat, because meat contains too much fat, after eating may cause blood lipids, blood sugar rise.
In addition, taking hypoglycemic drugs on time and injecting insulin are key means of controlling blood sugar, and diabetics must adhere to it.
