Different people have different breakfast habits. Some people pay more attention to breakfast and prepare a nutritious breakfast every day, but many people don't pay much attention to breakfast at ordinary times. Some people may have some special diseases, so they should pay special attention to their breakfast at this time. Some foods should not be eaten, such as diabetics, and breakfast should be rich.

1. What do diabetics eat for breakfast

1. Milk, yogurt and cheese

The lactose content in milk is not high, only 3.4%; Yogurt is a low-sugar food if sugar is not added in the production process; Because cheese is concentrated with milk, the lactose content will be higher, but we can't eat too much at a time, so we don't have to worry. What needs to be cautious is that what you choose is not pure milk and yogurt, but milk drink or lactic acid bacteria drink, which is not suitable for diabetic patients. These milk drinks generally have added sugar, and the first place in the ingredient list is not milk.

2. Meat, fish, eggs and bean products

Meat, fish, eggs and bean products are foods with high protein and low sugar, and they are one of the necessary nutritional sources for diabetics in protein. These protein foods can control the rising speed of blood sugar, promote the synthesis of hormones, enzymes and immunoglobulins in the body, and promote cell repair. For example, you can choose sauce beef, braised duck roe, canned salmon or tuna soaked in water, steamed egg soup, boiled eggs, spiced dried bean curd, mixed bean curd with shallots and so on.

3. Vegetables, bacteria and algae foods

Vegetables and bacteria and algae are mostly low-calorie and low-sugar foods. The heat of 511g green leafy vegetables ≈ the heat of 25 g flour. However, lotus root, horseshoe, carrot and pumpkin in vegetables are all kinds with high sugar content, especially lotus root with carbohydrate content of 1.8% and horseshoe with carbohydrate content of 1.4%, which are all high-sugar vegetables and need to be eaten instead of staple food. The carbohydrate content of rice is about 25%, so if you don't eat two or two rice, you can get three or two lotus roots or four or two horseshoes.

Fungal algae food is a food with high content of fungus polysaccharide and seaweed gum, and also contains many trace elements. Bacteria and algae food has a positive effect on controlling blood sugar and preventing complications such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia because of its strong satiety.

4. Coarse grains and potatoes

Under normal circumstances (except the ketogenic diet monitored by doctors), diabetics still need to eat starchy foods for breakfast, but it is often these starchy foods that are the "culprit" of rising blood sugar! Diabetic people choose staple food, and coarse grains that have not been broken are the first choice when the gastrointestinal and chewing functions allow. Some people like to break coarse cereals with soya-bean milk machine, thinking that diabetics will also be suitable, but it is actually wrong, which will greatly speed up the sugar rise of coarse cereals, just like chopping wood, which was originally slow to burn, and it will burn faster if it is cut into thin shavings, and of course it will be extinguished quickly. This is just like the rapid rise and decline of blood sugar after meals, which is also a greater challenge to the pancreas for diabetics and is not the first choice. In the morning, you can choose corn cob, big-grained porridge (the corn kernels are not peeled, but are completely broken), purple rice red bean porridge and so on. You need to be careful when choosing millet gruel, because its glycemic index is also very high.

Potatoes, yams, taro and other potato foods can be used as breakfast for diabetics, but other staple foods must be replaced. For example, the carbohydrate content of potatoes and taro is about 1.8%, the carbohydrate content of yam is about 1.2%, and the carbohydrate content of steamed bread is about 48%. If you eat less steamed bread, you can exchange it for 4 yams or 3 steamed potatoes or steamed taro.

5. A small amount of nuts and fruits

Nuts are high in protein, fat and dietary fiber, and their digestion is slow. People with diabetes can also eat them for breakfast, and they should not eat more than 11g, that is, 1 tablespoon. It is not recommended to eat them by grinding them into powder. They can be crushed whole or slightly and eaten in porridge or yogurt.

Fruit is a pain point for diabetics. If you don't eat it, you will be greedy. If you eat it, your blood sugar will rise. What should I do? Of course, fruits can be eaten, but the first choice is low-sugar fruits, and then you should not eat too much at a time. For example, apples, pears, peaches, kiwis, grapefruit ..... 1 taels each time is more suitable, and it's okay to eat 2~3 times a day, but you need to reduce the intake of staple food a little.

6. Eat foods with high carbohydrate content at night

This method can also slightly control the speed of blood sugar rise. Eating foods such as grains, potatoes and fruits behind vegetables, milk and eggs still has a little effect on blood sugar control, but it is not decisive.

In addition, sugar-free beverages such as soybean milk and coffee are also suitable for diabetics, and substances such as soybean isoflavones, phospholipids, dietary fiber, B vitamins, minerals, tannins and the like can be obtained.

2. Dietary contraindications for diabetes mellitus

1. Pepper

Because most diabetics have internal heat due to yin deficiency, and peppers can hurt yin and help fire, diabetics should not eat peppers to avoid aggravating their condition.

2, greasy meat

They contain a lot of saturated fat, which will increase cholesterol and cause systemic inflammation, and at the same time make people with diabetes have a greater risk of heart disease. You can choose skinless chicken, pork tenderloin, lean beef and fish.

3. Desserts

Desserts are enjoyed by many people, especially women, who like to eat desserts very much. However, for diabetics, it is necessary to basically avoid touching, not eating enough rice and not eating too much fruit. In addition, when eating fruit, we also need to pay attention to glucose and sucrose, which are digested and absorbed quickly, and will increase blood sugar after eating, which will easily lead to the aggravation of diabetes.

Many diabetics are afraid to eat all kinds of foods. In fact, there are many foods that they can eat, and their nutrition should keep up. The foods we introduced above are all foods that diabetics can eat at ordinary times. Just pay attention to choosing low-sugar foods when choosing. The taboo diets for diabetics mentioned above should be avoided as much as possible when eating.
