Many people know that after suffering from diabetes, you must receive hypoglycemic therapy in time, otherwise the blood glucose value will always be in an elevated state, resulting in abnormal metabolism of patients, which can easily affect the normal function of nerves, blood vessels, brains, kidneys and other parts, which is very harmful to health.
Moreover, diabetic patients must adjust their diet while receiving drug treatment to be able to stabilize blood glucose levels and prevent complications.
However, many diabetics do not know how to eat and control sugar.
First, it is forbidden to eat high sugar and high oil
Even if the blood glucose value is relatively stable, patients should not eat any high-sugar foods, including some various desserts and drinks made with sugar, and they should not eat some high-sugar fruits and self-squeezed juices.
These foods contain a lot of sugar, into the body will make the blood sugar value rise rapidly in a short period of time, the health hazard is very large.
In addition, diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia and hypertension and a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have a relatively high probability, so patients must pay attention to the diet, can not ingest any high-fat foods. For example, fried food, or some fatty meat, broth, etc., meat should be based on fish, chicken, duck, lean meat.
Second, the staple food is ingested quantitatively as needed
Diabetics must eat staple foods for three meals a day, otherwise, it will lead to a lack of a large number of carbohydrates in the body. Not only will it reduce immunity, but it will even cause diabetic ketoacidosis.
However, in the choice of staple food, patients should pay attention to the fact that it is best to use coarse grains as the main product, with a small amount of fine grains. And it is necessary to control the total intake of staple foods at each meal, belonging to the elderly patients who do not like to move, and the intake of staple foods per day is maintained at about 4 pairs.
If the amount of activity is more, the daily staple food amount can be maintained at about 6 pairs.
Third, reduce the use of condiments
Whether it's cooking oil, salt, or any other type of condiment, people with diabetes should reduce their intake. In many condiments, there are a lot of sodium ions, which not only affect the health of blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract.
Once too much intake, it will also affect the normal function of the glomeruli, which can easily induce the emergence of kidney complications. Whether it is fish, lean meat, eggs or vegetables, diabetics are best cooked in a steamed, stir-fried, and cold way.
Fourth, increase vegetables three times a day
Patients should add a large number of vegetables to each meal, whether it is green leafy vegetables, cross blossom vegetables, or yellow vegetables, should be properly ingested.
These vegetables contain a large number of vitamins, folic acid, and various mineral elements, which can improve the metabolic function of patients and promote the metabolism of sugars and lipids in the body. And some of the ingredients contained in many vegetables can play an auxiliary hypoglycemic effect.
Fifth, reasonable control of the amount of food eaten
Diabetics should not overeat at every meal, strictly control the total amount of food eaten at each meal, and avoid excessive calories entering the body.
Breakfast and lunch can be kept about 7 points full, and dinner can be kept about 6 points full. If you feel hungry between meals, you can eat a small amount of cucumber, tomatoes or boiled corn.
Once you suffer from diabetes, in addition to receiving scientific and standardized treatment, you must do a good job of dietary conditioning in order to play a role in stabilizing blood sugar. In addition to the above 5 points, when eating, patients must develop the habit of eating vegetables first and then eating staple foods. It can effectively reduce the absorption of some starches by the intestine and achieve the effect of avoiding the rise of blood sugar after meals.
