This is relatively speaking, diabetics can't eat sugar, that is to say, they can't eat sucrose and glucose directly in their daily diet. In fact, fructose is edible. The decomposition of fructose does not require insulin. The main component of honey is fructose. Eating some honey is still helpful for diabetics. 1. Drinking: Drinking will bring four hazards to diabetics: 1) Drinking interferes with the metabolism of sugar, fat and protein in the body; 2) Drinking promotes the development of acute and chronic complications of diabetes; 3) Drinking alcohol hinders the decomposition and excretion of hypoglycemic drugs, which is easy to cause hypoglycemia; 4) Drinking alcohol damages the pancreas. Therefore, it is best for diabetics not to drink alcohol during festivals. Second, what to eat in the face of rich dishes? People with diabetes should choose light food with less oil and salt. You can't think that it doesn't matter if you just eat vegetables. In fact, there is a lot of oil in the dish. It is unscientific to eat more meat and less food: some people think that meat is protein and rice is polysaccharide. Therefore, eating more meat will not lead to an increase in blood sugar. In fact, meat can also be converted into sugar in the body. On the contrary, if you eat less staple food every day, it will cause hunger ketosis. Fourth, regular and quantitative, don't be loose: the law of life is easy to be broken on holidays, and the time and amount of meals are more likely to change, which will inevitably affect the law of the human body's "biological clock", and if you only take medicine on time but don't eat on time, it will also cause hypoglycemia. 5. Sugar-free cakes can't be eaten casually: the so-called sugar-free cakes don't have sucrose, but cakes are grains and polysaccharides, which also generate heat and can't be eaten casually. Six, eat more, take more medicine: during the festival, I think eating more food and taking more medicine can't affect the rise of blood sugar, which is unacceptable! Because taking more medicine will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but also increase the side effects! Seven, adding meals is not an increase: We recommend that diabetics eat more meals in small quantities, but some patients mistakenly believe that adding meals to a limited amount of food will increase the amount of food, which will lead to an increase in blood sugar, especially snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds. Even less desirable! Eight, how to eat fruit: do not eat fruit in the following five situations: 1, blood sugar is too high, and fasting blood sugar exceeds 200 mg/L; 2, do not eat before and after meals, only eat between meals. 3, do not eat high sugar content, dried fruit is more than fresh fruit, and the amount of food is limited; 4, do not exchange or eat, fruit can be exchanged with staple food; 5. Don't eat without supervision. When monitoring conditions exist, we should monitor the fruits before and after eating, so that we can better grasp the taboos: white sugar, red pond, glucose and sugary sweets, such as sugar, cake, jam, honey, candied fruit and ice cream. Eat less: potatoes, yam, taro, lotus root, onion, carrot, lard, sheep oil, cream, butter, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, egg yolk, liver and kidney, brain. * ... * Tips for nourishing the stomach 1.
