There is a "sweet burden" in the people around you?
This is not about eating sugar, but about "diabetes". There are many people who think that the reason why they have diabetes is because they eat too much sugar. In fact, there are many causes of diabetes, such as genetics, lifestyle habits, mental stress, unhealthy eating habits, etc.
If you only eat too much sugar once in a while, or several times, the body will indeed have "transient blood sugar", that is, a short-term rise in blood sugar, but the normal insulin secretion in the body will stabilize blood sugar after meals.
However, for diabetic patients, when the autoimmune response is disordered, the β cells of the pancreatic islets are destroyed, resulting in a severe lack of insulin secretion, resulting in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Judging from the current incidence of diabetes, the disease not only occurs in middle-aged groups, but also occurs in young people under the age of 30, and at the same time, it is necessary to be vigilant against various complications to prevent affecting the quality of life.
And remind diabetics of the 4 "taboos" to pay attention to, in order to stabilize blood sugar, there is no other!
"Contraindications" (myth) 1: Diabetics eat as little as possible
Diabetes itself is a metabolic disease, due to its poor blood sugar control ability, once a long-term diet, it is more likely to lead to nutritional imbalance, and even hypoglycemia, such as cold sweats, dizziness and fatigue, hunger, palpitations, edema, growth retardation, sweating and so on.
Therefore, instead of eating too little and skipping any of the normal meals, it is better to eat a balanced diet and formulate a reasonable diet according to your own situation to avoid large fluctuations in blood sugar.
"Taboo" (Myth) 2: As long as diabetics don't eat sweets?
No, if diabetics eat sugar, because after it enters the body, it is quickly converted into glucose, which promotes the rise of blood sugar, which is why diabetics cannot eat foods containing sucrose.
But not only to do this, but also to pay attention to a balanced diet, especially foods with high nutrient density, fresh vegetables and fruits, soy products, dairy products, lean meat, whole grains, etc., which can not only meet the body's nutrition, but also delay the rise in blood sugar.
"Taboo" (Myth) 3: Can sugar-free foods be eaten casually?
Even if there is no sucrose, foods that contain too many carbohydrates can also be converted into glucose in the body, which can then raise blood sugar, so you must control the amount.
"Contraindications" (Myth) 4: Is it best for diabetics not to exercise?
Don't do it anymore, there have been a lot of studies that show that people with diabetes can improve their cardiopulmonary function and improve muscle strength through exercise, which is beneficial to stabilize the condition and prevent a variety of complications, and it is something that people with prediabetes should do.
