The biggest difficulty in the northwest cuisine, which combines the characteristics of multi-faceted, large meat and large oil, is the two-sided attack of starch and grease.
The blood glucose caused by starch fluctuates greatly, and the blood sugar caused by oil continues to rise, making the timing of insulin injection during meals, the proportion of preprandial dose and postprandial additional amount, and the correction of postprediacs difficult to grasp.
Because the individual differences in the blood glucose response of the opposite food and oil are relatively large, there is no set of programs that are easy for everyone to use, and everyone needs to estimate according to their usual experience and be prepared to correct errors in time.
Generally speaking, eating pasta with large fat and meat, or eating staple foods with large meat, we can use double waves to hit insulin, try to dispense 70-80% before meals, and another 20-30% as a square wave to be distributed within 3 to 5 hours.
If the staple food is eaten less, or if the meat is eaten at the end of the staple food, then the pre-meal dose is less allocated.
If you feel that the oil is not too much, not sure whether there will be trouble with the rise, you can use the minute method, the pre-meal dose is estimated according to the amount of staple food, observe the blood sugar trend after the meal, find the signs of blood sugar rise after the rise and then improve the temporary basal rate or supplement the needle.
We can also make dietary adjustments to make it easier to manage blood sugar. total
The principle is that if you eat more pasta, you should try to keep the meal light, do not eat too much fat, and concentrate on the problem of rapid rise and rapid descent; if you eat more meat, at the same time, do not eat too much pasta, and concentrate on dealing with the problem of slow rise and then rise.
If carbohydrates and fats are high at the same time, the complexity of blood sugar management is greatly increased.
In addition, do not eat too greasy at night, the energy consumption at night is small, the monitoring and error correction response speed is slower, and the high-fat diet will increase insulin resistance, making blood sugar fluctuations at night more difficult to predict and manage.
Dinner should not be too late, try to be light, try not to eat supper, do not leave any trouble, which can enhance the controllability of blood sugar at night, worry and effort, and be safer.
Below we will experience the difficulty of blood glucose management in the Northwest diet through a few specific examples, and you can think about whether you can combine the skills learned earlier to come up with a coping plan.
Shanxi
Shanxi's pasta is mainly cooked and steamed, and there are not many meat dishes that are generally matched, which is relatively light, and the rapid rise in blood sugar is the main problem.
Everyone should pay attention to the insulin given a little more in advance during meals, and it should be enough when waiting. In addition, you may wish to add some old vinegar to eat noodles, acetic acid has some sugar stabilizing effects for many sugar friends.
Shaanxi
Different from the noodle culture of Shanxi, Shaanxi's noodles are cooked more, in addition to roasting, roasting, frying noodles are also relatively rich, and most of the snacks in Xi'an are the perfect combination of carbs and grease.
In addition, Shaanxi's noodles and flours are heavier in seasoning, with more meat dishes, and generally more fat. So enjoying Shaanxi cuisine, double wave and minute method is our good partner.
There are two kinds of steamed buns, Bai ji bun is a fermented bun with faster sugar, and TongGuan bun is a short steamed bun with higher fat.
The name of the egg sandwich bun sounds light, but the pickles and salted egg yolks are served with sauce, and the fat is not low.
Lamb steamed buns and water basin lamb soaked crescent cake meat is not large, the fat is low, mainly steamed bread and vermicelli, better digestion after soaking in the soup, blood sugar rapid rise is the main problem.
The oil of the gourd head steamed bun is thicker, in addition to coping with the rapid rise of the steamed bun, the amount of oil intake should also be counted.
In a variety of snacks, the churned dough and potato sticks are pure and pure rapid starch, and the sweet rose mirror cake and Xifu stuffed rice have the help of sugar and preserves, the strength of the sugar is unmatched, everyone should pay attention to the amount of food, a small piece is enough to promote blood sugar.
Fried pasta such as oil spinning paste, steamed buns, twist flowers, gold thread oil towers and other fried pasta have a high content of oil, if the meal has been relatively high fat, it is best to eat it another day to avoid excessive oil.
Rose crystal cakes not only have a puff pastry crust, but also high sugar fillings, blood sugar roller coasters and high grease problems that need to be vigilant.
Gansu
Beef ramen is relatively light, easy to rise, it is recommended that sugar friends choose thick noodles, eat noodles on the soup, meat dishes more.
Tianshui croak is made of buckwheat starch, do not hear buckwheat to associate with sugar, it is pure starch, poured with chili oil and sesame paste, rapid rise is the main problem.
Inner Mongolia
Inner Mongolian cuisine is mainly based on lamb, wild vegetables, pasta and dairy products, and the cooking method is relatively simple, and the barbecue is the most famous.
Since there are fewer vegetables, potatoes and carrots are treated as daily vegetables, and everyone should remember to count their carbohydrate intake.
Inner Mongolia has more grains, we can choose noodles, buckwheat noodles pasta, vitamin supplements, but it should be noted that the fiber of the noodles is not high, and the sugar rise will be more fierce.
Inner Mongolia burnt sells thin skin and large meat, plenty of mutton oil, and the liter of sugar is very slow, but eating too much will cause trouble after rising.
Cheese, milk tea is not only high in oil, some sugar friends are more sensitive to the blood sugar reaction of dairy products, blood sugar fluctuations will be more intense, sugar friends who have had similar problems before should be vigilant.
Xinjiang
Among the northwestern provinces, Xinjiang's cuisine has the highest fat content, whether it is grilled meat, large dishes, or pasta, pasta, cold skin, it is more important than the neighbors to save more oil.
Although the large plate of chicken is fragrant, it is recommended that you give up the potatoes inside and eat less dough, because they absorb the high-fat soup, coupled with the high gelatinization of starch after a long stew, it is not very friendly to sugar control.
Pepper chicken tastes refreshing, but the fat should not be underestimated. In the fragrant grilled buns, the mutton oil and fat meat are very full, the unleavened dough is very thin, the carb water is not a lot, and the sugar is generally very gentle, but often eating three or four will cause the back rise.
Rice noodle staple food is also characterized by rich oil, over oil meat strips, fried potato strips, fried rice noodles, hand pilaf, everything is big oil and salt, plus Xinjiang restaurant rice noodles are basically enough.
The owner is often eager to add food to the guests, and it is easy to eat too much, so in Xinjiang foraging, the rise of blood sugar is a problem that we are difficult to avoid.
Grilled bread is a symbol of Xinjiang cuisine, and the characteristics of different naans are also different: the blood glucose peak of the oil naan with added mutton oil lasts longer, but the general peak height does not decrease;
Meat buns stuffed with diced lamb, minced onion, pepper, cumin, etc., the blood glucose wave summit is more gentle and the peak is lower;
Sesame naans with sesame and grape juice added are faster and have steep blood sugar crests; the fat and carbohydrates of roasted lamb intestines are very dense, and due to the higher fat, the rapid rise will not be obvious, but the rear rise is often avoided.
Xinjiang also has a variety of potato staple foods and dishes, in addition to potato churn, potato cakes, potatoes can also be added to dishes, stuffed, or made into potato meatballs.
Potatoes are not only rich in fast-rising starch, but also fully absorb oil with meat partners, which will also bring trouble after rising.
Tibet
Because of the limited geographical conditions in Tibet, the main crops are barley, the staple food is relatively scarce, most of the food is meat and dairy products. Beef and mutton, ghee, rice dumplings, and tea are the most common foods.
Rice dumplings are similar to fried noodles, made of barley flour with ghee, milk residue and sugar, higher energy, a lot of oil, sugar rise is relatively gentle, but the blood sugar peak lasts longer.
The potato starch content in Tibetan areas is higher, and the potato buns are particularly sweet, and the sugar rise is also very strong.
Among the drinks in Tibet, butter tea is the most distinctive, the fat content is also higher, and when eaten with rice dumplings, it may lengthen the duration of blood sugar peaks.
In contrast, sweet tea adds sugar and milk, with a large sugar content, low oil, and more palatable to drink, sugar friends should pay attention to controlling the amount of drinking to prevent triggering a blood sugar roller coaster.
Tibetan yogurt is divided into two kinds, Daxue fat content is low, Russian snow milk fat content is higher, you can choose according to the day's diet and blood sugar situation.
