For diabetics, one of the most important things in life is to control blood sugar.
The most important link in controlling blood sugar is naturally to "control the mouth".
Therefore, sugar friends have a lot of doubts in life-----
After I eat a staple food, my blood sugar tends to rise very badly, so should I give up the staple food?
The glycemic index of different staple foods is different, and the effect on blood sugar is also different, how do I choose?
Rice, noodles and steamed buns, can sugar friends eat them?
As the most common staple food in the daily diet of the mainland, most people often can't do without them for three meals a day, and ask sugar friends if they can eat them.
We need to understand an academic term ---- glycemic index (GI).
The so-called glycemic index is how quickly food causes blood sugar to rise at the same quality.
Usually the glycemic index > 70, it belongs to the high glycemic index of food, according to the data: the glycemic index of white steamed buns is 88.1, the glycemic index of white rice is 83.2, and the glycemic index of white noodles is 81.6.
Therefore, it can be said that the glycemic index of these three types of staple foods is still quite high, so the glycemic effect that can be achieved after eating with diabetics is quite obvious.
Taking the level of the glycemic index as the criterion for judging, the glycemic effect of the three should be ordered from high to low in order of steamed buns, rice, and noodles.
From the perspective of protecting blood sugar health, diabetics should be better than rice when choosing daily staple foods, and rice is better than steamed buns.
This does not mean that you can eat noodles without scruples, because if you eat too much at one time, it is still easy to induce a sharp rise in blood sugar, which seriously affects the health of patients.
For sugar friends, it is recommended to choose foods with lower GI values in terms of diet, such as corn, oatmeal porridge, etc. instead of rice and pasta. In the choice of staple foods, sugar friends also need to combine thickness and thinness, while controlling the amount of consumption, to avoid eating too much exquisite white rice noodle food.
Diet, sugar friends also need to pay attention to some details
Usually, diabetics in the dining process is best to develop a good habit of eating dishes first, and then eating staple foods, and obtain a certain sense of fullness by eating vegetables first, which can help reduce the amount of staple foods.
In addition, in the process of cooking or making staple foods, it is recommended that diabetics should appropriately add some coarse grains or vegetables with low glycemic effect, which is also very helpful for weakening the glycemic effect caused by eating staple foods.
In addition, the lower the degree of cooking of staple foods, the more conducive to blood sugar control, such as dry rice is more conducive to blood sugar than porridge.
In addition to diet, what details do sugar friends need to pay attention to?
1. Rational use of drugs
If you want to really effectively maintain blood glucose stability, patients must pay attention to following the doctor's instructions and using drugs rationally.
Whether taking hypoglycemic drugs or direct injection of insulin, patients must follow the doctor's advice to complete treatment on time, and remember not to stop and reduce drugs privately because blood sugar is temporarily healthy.
In addition, while using drugs rationally, don't forget to monitor your blood sugar on time. Only by combining real blood glucose change data can we determine whether the blood glucose control effect is up to expectations.
In general, it is recommended that diabetics take a blood glucose measurement when they wake up in the morning, between 2 and 3 p.m., and at night before bedtime.
2. Exercise in moderation
Moderate exercise can effectively accelerate glycogen consumption, which has always been very beneficial for helping diabetics stabilize their condition as much as possible.
However, in the process of exercise, we must grasp the correct exercise method in time, and we must not carry out excessively intense physical exercise on an empty stomach, otherwise it is likely to induce physical discomfort due to low blood sugar.
For staple foods, sugar friends can not not eat
Some sugar friends avoid staple foods in order to be able to control blood sugar.
But in such a case, although the short-term blood sugar situation will be better, it is not conducive to long-term health. If you do not eat staple foods for a long time, the body lacks enough carbohydrates, and the human body cannot get energy.
At the same time, if sugar friends eat too little staple food, it is easy to cause diabetic ketoacidosis, which is a more serious acute disease development, which will seriously endanger the lives of patients.
Therefore, for staple foods, sugar friends still have to eat, and they must choose healthy staple foods.
