The Guidelines for Nutritional Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (21 Edition) clearly points out that diabetics should eat no less than 5 grams of vegetables a day, which is equivalent to the weight of two dishes, so as to ensure adequate dietary fiber and help reduce blood sugar.

2. It is better to eat vegetables raw

Compared with high-temperature cooking, eating raw vegetables can retain dietary fiber to the greatest extent, and the hypoglycemic effect is better. Pay special attention to clean raw vegetables, cold and boiled. In addition, some elderly people and diabetic patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are not suitable for eating vegetables raw often. These people may wish to blanch the vegetables before eating.

3. Rinse more and process less

Many people think that soaking vegetables can remove pesticides. In fact, most pesticides in vegetables stay on the surface, and soaking can lose vitamin C and vitamin B, so rinse vegetables with running water. Vegetables are best processed less, because the finer the processing, the more fiber is destroyed. It is suggested that vegetables can be cut into long sections and chunks instead of diced and minced, so as to better retain fibers.

4. Cooking time should not be too long

When vegetables are fried, it is not advisable to fry them for too long. The longer the cooking time, the more dietary fiber in vegetables will be destroyed. Just fry them until they are cooked, and don't cook them too badly or too well.

5, less oil and less salt, more vinegar

Sugar friends should follow the principle of less oil and less salt, and vegetables are no exception. Cooking should use vegetable oil and less oil and salt. In addition, you can put some vinegar to taste, because vinegar can delay the absorption of carbohydrates and help reduce blood sugar.
