How many meals should diabetes eat a day?
Under normal circumstances, people with diabetes are advised to "eat less and eat more meals" to avoid eating too much food at one time and reduce blood sugar fluctuations, which will not cause the blood sugar to be too high or too low after meals. It is suggested that diabetics can eat more than three meals a day and increase the number of side meals.
How to choose the staple food for diabetics?
Of course, the staple food is mainly carbohydrates. Besides a small amount of flour and rice, we should also choose to eat some coarse grains to delay the rise of blood sugar. Yam, sweet potato, buckwheat noodles, oats and other foods are all good choices.
For people with normal physical activity, the intake of staple food per meal should not exceed100g, and people engaged in heavy physical labor can increase it appropriately.
How to eat meat?
For diabetic patients, the daily meat intake should be controlled at 100- 150g, the intake of fried meat and barbecue should be reduced, and fish, chicken and duck should be preferred as far as possible.
How to drink milk?
Milk needs to be drunk, but diabetics can choose low-fat fresh milk or skim fresh milk appropriately, and yogurt should pay attention to choosing sugar-free yogurt; It is suggested that the daily milk quantity should reach 300 grams, and a small amount can be appropriately reduced according to different situations.
How to eat vegetables?
For diabetic patients, green vegetables rich in dietary fiber should be increased, and the vegetables should be no less than one catty every day. Cooking methods are mainly boiling and stewing, and high-temperature cooking methods such as frying and frying should be reduced.
In addition, there is one thing to explain to you. There are many kinds of "hypoglycemic foods" on the market. I suggest you pay attention to their label information when buying. Try to choose foods with dietary fiber and trace elements, which have a certain control effect on blood sugar.
However, it is ineffective to control diabetes only through diet. Rational medication, diet, moderate exercise and regular medication can relieve the disease more reliably.
People with diabetes need to pay more attention. Don't trust the so-called "hypoglycemic food", don't believe the so-called advertising marketing, the food is diverse, the treatment is comprehensive, and don't let your blood sugar rise excessively. Wish you good health.
