Type 2 diabetes accounts for a large proportion of the diabetic population in China. Type 2 diabetes usually occurs after the age of 35 to 4, accounting for more than 9% of diabetic patients.

Scientific diet and regular living habits are important methods to control sugar steadily. In the diet of diabetic patients, there is one of the most important principles that we need to know: eat as little as possible foods that can quickly raise blood sugar, high sugar content or fat, because these foods are easily converted into glucose. However, this does not mean that we should eat less, or even give up our favorite foods and go hungry. Instead, it requires us to scientifically and reasonably arrange the daily food intake, quantity and variety according to the law, which can give consideration to both delicious food and health!

let's have a look!

First, these foods are suitable for diabetics

1. Beans and bean products. Bean products are very suitable for diabetics, because they are rich in protein, vitamins, inorganic salts and unsaturated fatty acids, which can effectively reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides.

2. Whole grains. For example, oatmeal, purple yam, naked oats and corn flour are rich in trace elements, dietary fiber and vitamin B family, and belong to coarse grains and vegetables with low starch and sugar, which are very suitable for making staple foods for diabetic patients.

3. Some fruits and vegetables. Such as onion, grapefruit, bitter gourd and mulberry leaves, are all edible fruits for diabetics and are one of their most ideal foods.

Second, these kinds of foods are not suitable for diabetics

1. All kinds of foods with high sugar content. Such as canned fruits, candy, candied fruit, fruit juice drinks, jam, refined bread, etc. The sugar content of these foods is relatively high, and it is easy to quickly raise blood sugar in the short term.

2. Diabetes patients should not drink alcohol. Because if people drink a lot on an empty stomach, they are likely to have very serious hypoglycemia. And alcohol will mask the performance of hypoglycemia, which is very dangerous.

3. Diabetic patients should not eat foods with high cholesterol, such as animal heart, lungs, liver and kidney, fat meat, egg yolk, pig, cattle and sheep oil, etc. Eating these foods is easy to raise blood lipids, which leads to atherosclerosis.

Third, if you have diabetes, how to eat three meals a day is healthy

1. Energy should be replenished in time in the morning to avoid hypoglycemia in diabetic patients. Therefore, patients should ensure that they can eat breakfast every day (especially diabetic patients who need insulin injection), and should ensure that breakfast is nutritious.

2. Have a good lunch. As the saying goes, "Eat a good lunch", and lunch is located between breakfast and dinner, which plays an important role in connecting the preceding with the following. Many diabetics have no canteen in their work units, so they have to make do with some lunch, which is actually very unfavorable for blood sugar control.

So, how can we eat lunch well and prevent blood sugar from fluctuating greatly?

First of all, in terms of time, lunch should be arranged as far as possible between 11: 3 and 1: 3 noon; Secondly, in terms of quantity, for example, if someone consumes 22 kilocalories a day, the amount of staple food should be about 125 grams (raw weight). According to the principle of balanced nutrition, you can choose 2 grams of soybeans or equivalent bean products, 75 grams of animal food, 1 grams of fruits and 15 grams of vegetables. Think about meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits and other foods that have not been eaten. It is best to involve a little of each food in one day to ensure a balanced nutrition.

In addition, the dietary guidelines for China residents also suggest that it is best for people to eat more than 12 kinds of non-repetitive foods every day.

3. Have a proper amount of dinner

It's best to arrange dinner between 6 pm and 8 pm. You can choose foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole wheat food, brown rice, etc., so that you can eat enough and promote the peristalsis and digestion of the gastrointestinal tract.
