Diabetes is a chronic disease, which can be said to be a lifelong disease. Both western medicine and Chinese medicine have their own systematic theories and methods to treat diabetes, but dietotherapy is the most important one, and Chinese and western views are consistent. Many herbs have been found to have the effect of phytoinsulin, so blood sugar can be regulated by taking herbs or decocting, but the effect is not very strong. Patients with hyperglycemia should cooperate with other hypoglycemic methods. For details, please consult an endocrinologist. Gray leaves have a slightly bitter taste, but no research has shown that they have a clear hypoglycemic effect. If you like dietotherapy, I can recommend some to you. 1, diabetic patients should "boldly" replenish water. In summer, you sweat more and lose more water in your body. Don't wait for thirst to drink water. Diabetes polyuria is caused by high blood sugar. Restricting drinking water will cause dehydration, and blood concentration will easily lead to thrombosis and renal insufficiency. The human body needs an average of 2500 ml of water every day. In addition to the water obtained from fruits and vegetables, 1600- 2000ml of water is provided by drinking water. Therefore, "diabetic patients should not limit drinking water, but should avoid drinking high-sugar drinks or cold drinks, and should drink more fruit and vegetable juice, soup and light tea." 2, sweating a lot in summer, if there is outdoor exercise, the daily intake of salt can be increased from 5-6g to 6- 7g, or eat some seafood to supplement salt. Such as kelp, shrimp skin and so on. But patients with edema should eat less, because it will aggravate edema. You can eat a proper amount of fruit between meals or before going to bed, and pay attention to the sugar content of fruit. When eating fruits with high sugar content, we should pay attention to reducing the amount of staple food. In summer, all kinds of fruits are on the market one after another, so we should eat fruits in moderation, especially for diabetic patients with high blood sugar and uncontrolled. Watermelon seems to be the "endorsement" fruit in summer, so it's a pity not to eat a few mouthfuls. But diabetics should pay attention to the timing when eating fruit. The fasting blood glucose value is less than 7.8mmol/L, and the blood glucose value is less than 10 mmol/L two hours after meals, so you can choose fruits. If the blood sugar can't reach this standard, it's best not to eat fruits, and vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes can be used instead. 3, don't think that fruit can replace food, carbohydrate intake should account for about 60% of the total calorie intake in a day. It is also essential to provide high-quality meat, dairy products and bean products from protein. Stewing, cooling, sliding, simmering, boiling, stewing and steaming are the most suitable cooking methods for diabetic patients in summer. The food processed by the cooking method not only has less loss of nutrients, but also is easy to digest, and is especially suitable for diabetic patients suffering from hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. Because the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is weak, cold and greasy food should be avoided in summer diet. Regular diet, work and rest time and dietary balance directly affect blood sugar regulation. Dietary treatment of diabetes mellitus complicated with hypertension and hyperlipidemia: a balanced diet with total calories. Limit the intake of fat, and limit the daily edible oil to 20 grams. Eat less fried food, less stir-fry, and more cooked food and steamed vegetables. In order to ensure nutrition, protein is basically the same as normal people.

Advocate eating more foods containing more cellulose, such as celery, leeks, bean sprouts, radishes, kelp and coarse grains such as oats, whole wheat bread, corn flour, buckwheat and miscellaneous beans.

Don't eat more meat, usually 2 Liang lean meat every day. Lean meat contains about 10% fat. At present, saturated fatty acids: monounsaturated fatty acids: polyunsaturated fatty acids = 1: 1: 1 are advocated to limit cholesterol, which is below 300mg per day. Eat foods with high cholesterol on an empty stomach, such as visceral obesity, and lose weight. Losing weight can increase insulin sensitivity and improve symptoms of hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. It has been reported that the systolic blood pressure will increase by 6.5mmHg for every weight gain of 10%. Salt intake is strictly limited to less than 6 grams per day (including soy sauce, 5 ml of soy sauce contains salt 1 g). Increasing calcium intake and supplementing calcium can improve the symptoms of osteoporosis. Studies have proved that calcium can help lower blood pressure. Smoking is harmful. Smoking is easy to raise blood pressure, so is drinking. It is reported that drinking a small amount of wine every day, such as wine, can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and raise high density lipoprotein, which is beneficial to atherosclerosis, but drinking too much is also harmful (hypertriglyceridemia, cirrhosis). Therefore, it is best not to drink. If you drink alcohol, please drink a small amount of low-alcohol wine, such as 1 wine. Do not eat snacks, especially high-fat melon seeds, peanuts and walnuts. If there is no kidney disease, eating some foods with high potassium content is conducive to the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Such as mushrooms, amaranth, rape, spinach, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, wax gourd, bitter gourd and so on. Please remember that eight is less and eight is more:

Non-staple food: less meat, more vegetarian meat, less meat, more fish, staple food: less refined, more coarse, less fried and more cooked.
