Diet is the basis for sugar control. If sugar lovers know how to eat, sugar control will be half the battle. Among home-cooked dishes, there are indeed some dishes that people with diabetes can easily raise their blood sugar after eating them. It mainly includes 3 categories: home-cooked dishes with high calorie content, high starch content, and high sugar content. Next, let’s take a look in detail, which dishes are they? 1. High-calorie dishes

The principle of diet for people with diabetes is total calorie control. Excessive calories will make blood sugar more likely to be elevated, and may also lead to fat accumulation, obesity, and aggravation of insulin resistance. Home-cooked dishes with high calories mainly fall into the following two categories:

1. Fried and barbecued dishes

With the advancement of technology and the improvement of living conditions, you can make fried chicken legs at home. , barbecue and so on, it is no longer a troublesome thing. Let’s talk about grilled chicken wings. Now prepare the ingredients and put them in the oven. In about 20 minutes, you can have delicious grilled chicken wings.

However, fried and barbecued foods are often very high in calories. 100g of grilled chicken wings has 204 calories, while 100g of rice has only 116 calories.

If you only eat 1 to 2 chicken wings and less rice, it won’t be a big problem. But fried and barbecued foods tend to taste better, and people with poor self-control tend to lose control of their mouths. If you are not careful, it is easy to eat too much.

2. High-fat foods

For example: fatty meat, egg yolk, peanuts...these foods have high fat content. The dishes they make, such as braised pork, boiled eggs, and fried peanuts, should not be eaten too much by people with diabetes. 2. Dishes with high starch content

After starch enters the human body, it can be quickly converted into blood sugar, and the higher the degree of gelatinization of starch, the faster the rate of raising blood sugar. The higher the content of resistant starch, the slower the sugar rise rate. So what specific foods are high in starch?

Potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes. People with diabetes should not think that just because they are vegetables, they can eat more. We know that the main component of rice is starch, and the starch content of these three vegetables is not low. Therefore, we often say that when eating these foods with high starch content, they should be eaten as staple foods.

And when cooking this type of food, the longer it takes, the higher the degree of starch gelatinization, and the more detrimental it is to blood sugar. For example: freshly cooked taro will have a greater impact on blood sugar if eaten directly. On the contrary, if the cooking time is later and shorter, and the taro is slightly harder, the starch gelatinization will be relatively low, and the impact on blood sugar will be relatively small. Or, after steaming the cooked taro, wait for it to cool for a while, the starch will regenerate and the resistant starch will increase. Eating at this time will have less impact on blood sugar.

Of course, the foods that are least recommended for people with diabetes are fried or grilled foods, such as baked potatoes and fried potatoes. The glycemic index is much higher than fried potatoes. 3. Dishes with high sugar content

Needless to say, the more you eat, the higher your blood sugar will rise. Take Shanghai’s local cuisine as an example. Most of the dishes are on the sweet side. Here are just a few: sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, sweet and sour fish.

Among the dishes here, I personally prefer braised pork, but I can only eat 2 pieces at a time. If I eat more, I can’t bear it. Why?

It is sweet and greasy. The fat content of fatty meat is already very high, and when cooking braised pork, a large amount of sugar must be added. How can it not be sweet and greasy?

For this type of food, it is generally not recommended for sugar lovers. If you want to eat it, it must be in small amounts.

In general, dishes with high calories, high starch, and high sugar content have a greater impact on blood sugar. People with diabetes must control the amount when eating.
