Blood glucose refers to the concentration of glucose in the blood, which is mainly converted from dietary intake of sugar, which is the source of energy for various life activities of the human body. However, if you consume too much sugar in your diet, it is easy to upset the balance of blood sugar, and diabetes will develop over time.
Therefore, if you are already suffering from high blood sugar, you should pay more attention to your daily diet and avoid overeating while receiving medical treatment, especially reducing your fat and sugar intake. Below, I will introduce you to several foods that patients with high blood sugar must eat less.
1. High-fat foods
The most common complication for diabetic patients is hyperlipidemia, so people with high blood sugar must strictly limit their fat intake. Eat less fried, fried, and puff pastry foods, as well as animal skins, such as pig skins, chicken skins, etc.
In addition, there is another food that people often ignore high-fat foods, that is, nuts, most of which result in foods with high fat content, such as peanuts, melon seeds and walnuts, which contain more calories than the same weight of pork, and if eaten in large quantities, it will not be conducive to the control of blood sugar and blood lipids.
2. High cholesterol foods
Due to high blood sugar levels, the endothelial surface of the blood vessel wall of diabetic patients has been damaged by "glucose toxicity" for a long time, which is more likely to allow the bad cholesterol in the blood to pass through the gaps in the intima of the blood vessel wall, thus forming plaques on the blood vessel wall, and the plaques on the blood vessel wall will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, patients with high blood sugar should eat less foods with high cholesterol content, such as animal fat, animal offal, etc.
3. Sugary foods
Because most sugary foods contain a lot of glucose and sucrose, these sugars can be quickly digested and absorbed by the body, causing blood sugar to rise.
Therefore, people with high blood sugar basically can't touch sugary drinks, candied fruits, canned fruits, etc., some fruits with high sugar content should also eat less, rice and porridge at the main meal can not eat too much, foods with high carbohydrate content, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, should also be eaten accordingly, and coarse grains can be appropriately used to replace staple foods.
4. High-salt foods
Diabetic patients should try to eat as light as possible, not too heavy in taste, reduce salt income, pre-processed or pickled foods usually contain a lot of salt, and patients with high blood sugar should eat less.
When cooking food daily, it is best to try to take stew, boil, steam, cold dressing and other methods, and use less sweet and sour, honey, tomato juice, and other seasonings, so as not to invisibly ingest a large amount of salt and sugar, which will affect the stability of blood sugar levels.
5. Wine
Alcohol will produce adverse stimulation of pancreatic B cells, affect the synthesis and secretion of insulin, and over time will cause the function of pancreatic B cells to decline, so that the ability to secrete insulin is reduced, and eventually lead to an increase in blood sugar.
In particular, patients with hyperglycemia who are taking oral hypoglycemic drugs or using insulin must strictly prohibit alcohol, otherwise it will affect the effect of drug treatment, resulting in increased blood sugar fluctuations and more difficult to control.
To sum up, if the blood sugar level is relatively high, then you must eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods in your daily diet, such as animal skin, offal, fried foods, etc., and foods with high sugar and salt content should also be eaten as little as possible.
Cooking food should be light, and alcohol intake must be strictly controlled to keep blood sugar levels down.
