Recently, there was a patient who had just been diagnosed with diabetes. During the treatment, he asked the doctor more than once: "Is it true that I will basically say goodbye to rice and white flour, and can only eat coarse grains?"

The doctor told him: it is not only to eat coarse grains, but also recommended that staple foods and coarse grains with eating. Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, inorganic salts and other nutrients, will make the starch in the grain digestion, absorption is slower, so that the blood glucose rise slower, is conducive to the control of postprandial blood glucose. If suddenly in a short period of time from low-fiber diet to high-fiber diet, will lead to a series of digestive intolerance at the same time, but also make the energy-containing nutrients can not be absorbed in a timely manner and lead to hypoglycemia, but is not conducive to blood sugar control.

Can diabetic friends eat only coarse grains without fine grains?

Because coarse grains as a staple food, it itself does not have the function of lowering sugar, but due to the structural properties of coarse grains of dietary fiber, can make the release of sugar is not as fast and violent as fine grains, and at the same time there is a lowering of cholesterol, and to promote intestinal peristalsis to prevent constipation effect. To be precise, the role of coarse grains is to delay the rise of blood sugar, rather than lowering blood sugar.

In fact, the same weight of coarse grains and fine grains contain calories and carbohydrates is not a big difference, eat more coarse grains will also increase the burden on the stomach; and coarse grains in the cellulose may interfere with the absorption of medicines, may reduce the effectiveness of some lipid-lowering drugs and antipsychotics.

Therefore, sugar lovers should never eat unlimitedly because it is coarse grains, especially can not only eat coarse grains, should be matched with the right amount of protein, vegetables, to maintain a balanced nutrition is more conducive to reducing the postprandial glucose response, to meet the body's nutritional needs. Suggested daily 50-100 grams of coarse grains can be, eat coarse grains should also drink more water.
