Correct

As the saying goes, "people take food as their heavens." For people with diabetes, eating properly is a key part of regulating diabetes. Good or bad control directly affects the development of the disease.

First, make a diet plan. Each patient's situation is different, can please

Many people think that eating staple foods is likely to raise blood sugar, so eat less or not. This understanding is not entirely correct. First, the staple food is a complex carbohydrate, and blood sugar does not rise rapidly after consumption. Second, staple food can provide energy for human activities, and it is also the most economical source of human nutrition. Eating less or not eating may cause fat and protein to exceed standards, but the total energy is not enough, which will cause excessive breakdown of body fat and protein, body weight loss, nutrition Bad, and even starvation ketosis. It is recommended to drink enough water every day, which can have a better control effect and increase the water required by the body. In addition, it is necessary to do: chew slowly and eat slowly, eat only seven or eight full meals per meal; do not smoke, do not drink, stay up all night, rest and exercise more regularly; check regularly; control blood sugar, fight for five or six The month has a phased effect. ^[1]

The first major principle of a diabetic diet is to control the diet. Lowering blood sugar is actually eating less or not those foods that can cause blood sugar to rise. For example, sweetened foods such as candies, soft drinks, colas, candied fruits, and honey, sweetened drinks, and various Chinese and Western-style desserts should be eaten less; if you are a sweet tooth, it is recommended to use saccharin or aspartame. Substitute sugar for seasoning. In addition, foods with high starch content should also be limited, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, corn, water chestnuts, and sesame cakes, rye wheat, carrot cakes, etc .; especially various New Year's foods, such as rice dumplings, moon cakes, rice cakes, and even diabetes. Patients in particular need to avoid it.

The second major principle of a diabetic diet is to eat less sweet, too salty, and more oily foods, preferably not to eat them. Because obesity is the enemy of diabetes, and people with diabetes are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than ordinary people, it is very important to control the intake of fats. In addition to eating less fried, fried, puff pastry and high-fat foods, such as fatty meat, pork skin, pine nuts, walnuts, peanuts, etc .; at the same time, control meat foods, reduce animal fat intake, and use vegetable oil To cook food. In addition, some high cholesterol foods, such as animal offal, egg yolk, seafood, etc., should also eat less. As far as cooking is concerned, light and oil-free methods such as stewing, roasting, braising, braising,

1. Diet therapy is a treatment that all people with diabetes need to adhere to. For light cases, good results can be achieved with dietary therapy. For middle and severe patients, physical therapy and drug therapy must be applied reasonably based on dietary therapy. Only with good diet control can oral glucose-lowering drugs or pancreatic islets be effective. Otherwise, relying on so-called new medicines and ignoring diet therapy, it is difficult to achieve good clinical results.

2. The diet plan should be adjusted and flexibly controlled according to the condition at any time. The weight-loss patients can be appropriately relaxed to ensure total calories. Obese patients must strictly control their diet, and focus on low-calorie fat diets to reduce weight. For those treated with insulin, care should be taken to add meals at 9 to 10 am, 3 to 4 pm or before bedtime, as appropriate, to prevent hypoglycemia. When physical labor or activities are long, attention should also be paid to appropriately increasing staple foods or additional meals.

3. The staple food and non-staple food should be arranged scientifically in the diabetic diet. Don't just pay attention to the staple food and despise the non-staple food. Although the staple food is the main source of blood sugar, it should be controlled, but some of the protein and fat in the non-staple food can also turn into blood sugar and become the source of blood sugar. Proteins and fats turn into glucose in 58% and 10%, respectively. Too much such non-staple food can also increase weight and be unfavorable to the disease. Therefore, in addition to reasonable control of staple food, non-staple food should also be properly matched, otherwise the expected effect cannot be achieved.

I. Timed quantification and rounding to zero

Timed quantification refers to dinner. Normal people recommend three meals a day, eat regularly, and the amount of food per meal is basically stable. The purpose of this is to better match with hypoglycemic drugs, so that there will not be a situation of high and low blood sugar.

Rounding to zero means snacking. With good blood glucose control, we can allow patients to eat fruits to supplement their vitamins. But eating is different from normal people, generally do not eat immediately after a meal. You can choose to eat fruits 2 hours after a meal. When eating, divide the fruit into meals, such as: one apple is eaten 2-4 times, instead of eating it in one breath. The greater the number of meals, the smaller the effect on blood sugar.

2. Eat dry or eat thin

It is recommended that people with diabetes eat as much as possible. For example: steamed buns, rice, cakes. Don't eat batter, porridge / steamed rice, pasta soup, noodles, etc. The reason is that the thinner the diet, the longer the cooking time, the softer and worse the food, which means that the better the digestion, the faster the sugar will rise, so no matter what porridge is not suitable for eating.

3. Eat hard but not soft

In the diabetic diet, which is also dry, we recommend 'harder' rather than 'softer'. The reason is the same as above.

4. Eat green but not red

There is too much food, and many patients are not sure which one I should eat and which one should not. Generally green, mostly plants containing chlorophyll, such as: green vegetables. The red sugar is relatively high and unfit for consumption. If you eat cucumbers and tomatoes of the same weight, tomatoes can be significantly sugared. Therefore, in case of uncertainty, 'green' is generally safer. ^[2]
