56-year-old Aunt Wang has been suffering from diabetes for 3 years, when she first found diabetes, she didn't know how to manage blood sugar, afraid to eat this and afraid to eat that, so that her weight has been decreasing, and she feels that her health is getting worse and worse.
Later, when she came back to the clinic, the doctor suggested that she eat some food, and although diabetes should control the diet, it also needs to be nutritionally balanced.
After adjusting her diet, her weight did not continue to decline, but her blood sugar was still not well controlled, and sometimes the fluctuations were quite large.
Aunt Wang had to consult with a doctor again, and the doctor carefully asked Aunt Wang about her recent diet, and the analysis said that it was mainly because some of the foods eaten were unreasonable and affected blood sugar.

At that time, Aunt Wang was confused, at that time, the doctor said that anything can be eaten, and now it is necessary to control whether to eat? Should people like us with diabetes eat or not eat?
Today's rapid socio-economic development and the improvement of people's material level mean that there are more food options.
Big fish, big meat and a variety of dishes bring a lot of sugar, oil, salt, which will not only increase weight in the long run, but also increase the risk of a series of metabolic diseases.
Dietary management is important for people with diabetes. The following 5 kinds of food need to be avoided, sugar friends pay attention to it.
Avoid eating a lot of rhizome vegetables
We advocate sugar friends to eat as many vegetables as possible, but the root vegetables themselves are not low in calories, such foods contain a lot of starch, if a large amount of consumption is not conducive to the blood sugar control of diabetics, so rhizome vegetables diabetics can not eat more.
Common rhizome vegetables include rhombus, lotus root, potatoes, pumpkins, taro and so on. It is suggested that you can replace some staple foods with rhizome vegetables to eat, which can reduce the glycemic index of staple foods to a certain extent and better balance nutrition.
Avoid drinking a lot of fine drinks
For diabetics, it is important to drink less alcohol, because the calories of alcohol are very high, which may cause blood sugar fluctuations and weight gain.
Because alcohol is metabolized by the liver, if you drink a lot of alcohol or drink refined beverages for a long time, it will increase the metabolic burden of the liver and may also induce alcoholic hepatitis.
For sugar friends who use insulin or insulin secretagogues, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can induce hypoglycemia and, in severe cases, life-threatening.
Therefore, diabetics should try to drink less, if there is a drinking habit, but also gradually quit drinking, and avoid drinking on an empty stomach.

Avoid eating high-calorie foods in large quantities
It is very healthy to eat a small amount of food, but if you eat too much, it is counterproductive, such as nut foods, which are very high in calories.
Diabetics can eat nuts, but in actual life, many sugar friends feedback that eating nuts has a great impact on blood sugar, we analyze mainly because the amount of nuts is not controlled, the recommended amount is 15-20g / day, and we usually eat melon seeds slightly inattentive on half a pound.
No matter what kind of nuts, such as walnuts, pine nuts, melon seeds, peanuts, etc., can not be used as "rice" to eat, be sure to pay attention to the amount of consumption.
Avoid eating a lot of processed and packaged foods
Nowadays, there are many kinds of packaged foods, and we must also pay attention to reasonable intake.
Most of the calories in packaged foods are higher, and some also contain additional added sugars, such as juice drinks, ice cream, small cakes, white bread, candy, fancy chocolate, etc.
Therefore, diabetics should pay attention to foods that will cause blood sugar to rise as much as possible.
Avoid high-salt and high-fat foods
For diabetics, in addition to paying attention to high-sugar foods, it is also necessary to pay more attention to the intake of high-salt and high-fat foods, because the indicators of blood pressure and blood lipids also affect the fluctuation of blood sugar. For example, some pickles, bacon, cream, fat and other foods should be eaten less.
In short, diabetes should actively control the diet, diet control is the basis and focus of sugar control, have you learned?
