For diabetics, eating is always a big issue. How to eat to help control blood sugar?

The diabetic patients want to better control blood sugar, need to pay attention to seven points, including: scientific diet, strengthen the monitoring, rational use of drugs, effective exercise, health education, prevention of complications, mental health. Of these seven points, we put scientific diet in the first place.

It is recommended that diabetic patients follow the principle of balanced diet, total dietary energy intake should be in line with the weight management goals, of which 45% to 60% of the energy comes from carbohydrates, 25% to 35% of the energy comes from fats, and 15% to 20% of the energy comes from proteins.

In addition, reasonable control of carbohydrate intake, as much as possible to eat more vegetables, animal food more choice of white meat (fish, poultry and some seafood, etc.), eat less saturated fat and cholesterol content of ingredients.

People with diabetes should pay special attention to the intake of adequate dietary fiber. Dietary fiber can not only improve glucose tolerance, delay gastric emptying; increase satiety, but also can be converted into part of the energy for the body to use.

The Chinese Academy of Nutrition suggests that adults should consume 25?30 grams of dietary fiber per day. However, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Nutrition and Health conducted by the relevant survey shows that China's residents of the average dietary fiber intake of only 10.9 grams / day, far from the amount of many diabetic patients is not up to the recommended amount. So be sure to pay attention to the dietary fiber supplement.

Generally speaking, green leafy vegetables, fruits with slag, coarse grains, legumes and fungi and algae are rich in dietary fiber, it is recommended that diabetic patients to eat more, in addition to pay attention to the order of meals, meals are recommended to eat vegetables, especially leafy greens, and then meat, and finally eat the main food.

How do you eat three meals a day?

Breakfast

One, don't skip breakfast. Diabetic patients should eat less and more meals, the reason why high blood sugar, a large part of the reason is postprandial hyperglycemia. The more you eat at each meal, the greater the severity of postprandial hyperglycemia will be. If you eat very little at each meal, your blood sugar is less likely to become high after a meal, so your blood sugar will be a little smoother. If you don't eat breakfast, you will have to eat more at the midday meal, so we emphasize that breakfast should not be skipped. At the same time, breakfast should not be eaten too late. So eating on time and on schedule is important for diabetes control.

Two, can not eat too greasy food. Beijing people love to eat doughnuts and pancakes in the morning, we are advised not to eat or eat less because it is too greasy.

Three, you can not eat too little, too little breakfast will cause hypoglycemia.

Four, can not eat too quickly. It is easy to have indigestion after eating too fast. Diabetic patients more than ten years after the disease is prone to diabetic gastroparesis or gastrointestinal dysfunction, characterized by nausea and vomiting, very painful. If you like to eat too hot food or eat too fast, the symptoms will appear several years earlier than others.

Lunch

One, lunch can not be too late, eat too late easily before lunch hypoglycemia.

Two, you can't eat too cold. This has to do with our physical characteristics, but also with our dietary structure. Eating too cold will induce gastrointestinal diseases.

Three, can not eat too vegetarian. Diabetic patients must not overdo it, if nothing to eat meat, will cause patients to suffer from malnutrition. Otherwise, when the flu comes, weak elderly patients will die in droves.

Four, can not eat too hot, eat hot food is easy to cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, but also easy to cause tumors and esophageal cancer.

Fifth, you can't sleep after lunch. Many people have to sleep after lunch, which is not a good habit. First, after a long nap, it is bound to affect the night's sleep. Secondly, rest immediately after eating, no proper activities, blood sugar control after lunch is not good.

Dinner

One, dinner can't be too late, for the same reason that breakfast and lunch can't be too late.

Two, dinner should not be too thin. It is not recommended that diabetics drink porridge. Porridge is very good for tempering the spleen and stomach, but for people with abnormal blood sugar, because these porridges are rich in starch in the cooking process of paste, the formation of gel-like substances, the good thing about this substance is that it is good to absorb, stomach, the bad thing is also because of the good absorption, the result is that his blood glucose will be like a rocket like miso a little bit went up. At the same time, also absorb fast, hungry fast, easy to serious hypoglycemia. Porridge can cause both high blood sugar and aggravate hypoglycemia, so it would not be a too good food.

Three, dinner is not recommended to eat too much, also can not be too greasy, otherwise it will lead to a bad night's sleep.

Four, dinner can not not eat. With breakfast not eat is the same reason, easy to have low blood sugar in the night, even because of hypoglycemia is dead.
