Diet is mainly to control the intake of total calories. According to height, weight, activity, etc. Calculate the total calories needed every day, and then the nutritionist will make a suitable menu. The general principle is to eat less foods with high sugar content and less foods with high calories, such as greasy and refined foods. Eat more high-fiber foods and coarse grains. Then control the total amount of food you eat. If the blood sugar is well controlled, you can eat some fruits with sugar content below 10% between meals.
Diabetes experts specifically divide diabetes diet into two categories: benefiting stomach and fasting. Details are as follows:
The Diet of Diabetic Patients-Beneficial Food
The staple food of diabetics should be rice and flour. These coarse grains contain more inorganic salts, vitamins and dietary fiber. Dietary fiber has the function of lowering blood sugar, which is beneficial to control blood sugar.
People with diabetes should also eat soybeans and their bean products. On the one hand, the protein they contain is of good quality; On the other hand, it contains no cholesterol and has the function of lowering blood fat, so it can replace some animal foods.
If diabetics are still hungry during calorie control, they can eat vegetables with less sugar. Because vegetables contain more dietary fiber and water, they have low heat energy and strong satiety, so they are essential foods for diabetics.
Diet of diabetic patients-fasting
Diabetic patients should be forbidden to eat white sugar, red pond, glucose and sweetened sweets. In addition, potatoes, yams, taro, lotus roots, garlic sprouts and carrots with more carbohydrates should be used less or the corresponding staple foods should be reduced after eating.
People with diabetes should also abstain from lard, butter, foreign oil, cream and butter rich in saturated fatty acids. Try not to eat or eat less or reduce oil intake.
People with diabetes should also try to control alcohol and some fruits with high sugar content. Therefore, it is advisable not to eat or drink.
For patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, it is also necessary to strictly implement diet control under the guidance of doctors. For obese diabetic patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease, in addition to strict diet control, animal viscera, egg yolk, roe and so on. It is prohibited, and animal oils such as butter, lard and butter are strictly controlled.
For patients with diabetes complicated with renal insufficiency, besides controlling the total calories, we should also pay attention to the fact that the intake of protein should not be too high according to the condition of less salt, no salt or less sodium and less protein. The staple food should be wheat starch instead of rice, noodles and protein, and priority should be given to high-quality protein, such as milk, eggs and lean meat.
