For the sake of our health, diabetic friends who should not eat should never eat more. For some diabetic patients, in addition to three meals a day, it is necessary to add meals properly, so as to ensure balanced nutrition and stable blood sugar.
There are four main situations that need to be supplemented before going to bed on weekdays. Diabetic friends may wish to see if you belong to them:
1, strict diet control during the day, less staple food, less calorie intake, and unbearable hunger before going to bed. May wish to add meals appropriately.
2. Diabetic friends who need insulin injections can eat less at dinner and leave one-third of the time until bedtime to avoid hypoglycemia at night.
3, blood sugar measurement before going to bed found less than 5.6mmol/L, it is best to add meals appropriately to avoid hypoglycemia at night.
4. After supper, I did high-intensity exercise, and my physical energy consumption was high. I might as well eat some food with low sugar content.
So, which foods are more suitable for meals before going to bed?

Moreover, protein is also a high-quality protein, such as milk, in which protein mainly contains casein, whey protein and lactoglobulin. It also contains eight kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, and its digestion and absorption rate is very high, and the fat absorption rate is also very high, reaching over 95%. Milk is high in calcium. Generally 1 ml milk contains 1 mg calcium, which can be said to be a very good calcium supplement food. Milk is also rich in whey acid, which can inhibit the activity of cholesterol synthase in human body and reduce the production of cholesterol.
It is recommended that diabetics drink about 200ml of milk before going to bed. For some diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, fatty liver and other diseases, it is best to choose low-fat milk, which can be drunk during the day or before going to bed, and can be supplemented during meals or between meals.
Second, soy products.
Bean products mainly refer to beans such as soybeans and mung beans and various foods made from beans, such as soybean milk, tofu, dried tofu and tofu, which are all foods with low glycemic index. In addition, bean sprouts sprouted from beans, such as soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts, are also bean products.
Bean products are rich in protein and calcium. During processing, bittern system may be added, and at the same time, the contents of calcium and magnesium are increased. It can be said that the nutritional value is still relatively high. Moreover, different bean products contain different nutrients, such as soybean rich in unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, phytoestrogens and so on. And it is better for men and women to eat properly. Moreover, bean products are more suitable for diabetics to eat before going to bed because of their low sugar content and rich nutrition.
The third is eggs and their products.
Common eggs include eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs. The protein content of eggs is very high, which belongs to high-quality protein. At the same time, they contain calcium ions, iron ions, copper ions, vitamin D and other nutrients. , can supplement the body, but also contains amino acids needed by the human body. They are very similar to the amino acid composition of human body, so their digestibility is high. At the same time, they are also rich in vitamins A and D, which can promote the absorption of calcium while supplementing nutrition.
Generally speaking, if you have diabetes, you need to stick to a low-fat, low-sugar, low-salt and high-fiber diet. Diversified food choices, matching coarse and fine grains, and eating vegetables before eating are also conducive to blood sugar control. If there is too strict diet control, low blood sugar before going to bed or insulin injection, then you can consider adding meals properly before going to bed and choosing foods that have little effect on blood sugar, such as eggs, milk and beans.
