If you have diabetes, you cannot eat this or that. You are always worried that your blood sugar will rise after eating. This is a complaint of many diabetics. However, Uncle Zhang, who has been suffering from diabetes for 36 years, is an exception. He eats not only white rice, but also meat and fruits. He does not eat any food taboos, and his blood sugar still reaches the target steadily for a long time. What's going on?

It turns out that after consulting a doctor, Uncle Zhang concluded a set of "eating methods" that suit him. Not only did his blood sugar not rise, but it also kept reaching the target stably. Come and see if it is suitable for you!

Many diabetic patients know that they should eat more whole grains as staple food, but after Uncle Zhang ate buckwheat and oats several times, he developed bloating, acid reflux, and his body became even thinner. After that, Uncle Zhang added buckwheat, corn and other coarse grains to the white rice and white noodles, and mixed the coarse grains with fine grains to eat, no more than 2 taels per meal.

The doctor said: Overemphasis on eating more whole grains has led many diabetic patients to fall into the misunderstanding of "eating only whole grains", which has increased the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and prevented nutrients from being effectively absorbed. The correct approach is to eat both coarse and fine grains, and ensure 2 taels of staple food every day. The energy provided by carbohydrates should account for 50%-65% of the total energy.

After being diagnosed, many diabetic patients become ascetics who do not eat delicacies in the world, but Uncle Zhang eats a rich meal every day, including meat, fish, eggs, milk, and beans. !

The doctor said: Diabetics also need to eat meat to ensure protein intake. However, the amount must be controlled, and the fat intake should be mainly unsaturated fatty acids, and the intake of trans fatty acids should be reduced as much as possible; try to choose lean beef, fish, shrimp, beans, soy products, milk, etc. The food contains a lot of high-quality protein.

In the summer that just passed, Uncle Zhang not only ate watermelons and sweet grapes, but also sweet peaches. He also ate sweet pomegranates and persimmons around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people told him "can't eat it" or "don't eat it" after reading it! But Uncle Zhang knows it well. As a senior diabetic patient, he has prerequisites for eating fruits and vegetables!

The doctor said: Of course you can eat fruits with diabetes, but you need to meet the following prerequisites:

First, fasting blood sugar has never exceeded the sugar control standard, and there have been no complications;

Second, pay attention to the time when eating fruits, and eat when you are hungry between meals;

Third, keep your mouth shut and don’t eat too much, just eat a few mouthfuls to satisfy your cravings;

Fourth, measure your blood sugar promptly after eating fruit and record it carefully.

Uncle Zhang is a bit picky when it comes to eating vegetables. He often eats green leafy vegetables instead of ignoring them. Why is this?

Doctors say: Vegetables contain a large amount of dietary fiber, so many doctors recommend that diabetic patients eat more vegetables. But there are many "fake vegetables" - fake vegetables, containing a lot of starch and little dietary fiber, such as potatoes, lotus roots, etc. Therefore, patients with diabetes should try to eat green leafy vegetables such as lettuce, lettuce, and spinach.

In addition, Uncle Zhang changed his heavy taste, strictly controlled the salt he ate within 6 grams a day, and developed a good habit of 7 glasses of water a day. He also gritted his teeth and quit smoking after more than 20 years. , and rarely drink wine anymore.

Judging from Uncle Zhang’s diet, the diet of diabetic patients is a complex matter. We must consult a professional doctor to formulate an exclusive recipe that suits us and control blood sugar steadily.

The last thing to remind is that dietary treatment of diabetes is only one aspect. In real life, we must also combine exercise therapy, hypoglycemic drugs and other methods based on our own situation to control blood sugar stably and reach the standard!
