(1) Eating foods rich in fiber is good for the body. Fiber can reduce hunger, stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, increase intestinal peristalsis and prevent When constipation occurs, fiber has the effect of lowering blood sugar and blood lipids. Therefore, you should eat more foods rich in fiber, such as whole grains and cereals, vegetables, fruits, beans, etc.
(2) Limit drinking. Frequent drinking without eating food is prone to symptoms of hypoglycemia.
(3) Edible vegetable oils. Vegetable oils contain unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower cholesterol and help prevent the occurrence of diabetic complications. Ingestion of animal oils can cause diabetic complications to appear in advance or worsen.
(4) Choose suitable fruits to eat ① Control the intake of fruits. After eating a certain amount of fruit, it is necessary to reduce the staple food of the same amount of calories in the recipe accordingly to prevent the total calories from exceeding the standard. For example, 25 grams of rice and noodles provide calories equivalent to 150 grams of bananas and fresh lychees, 200 grams of pears, peaches, apples, citrus, oranges, kiwis and grapes, 300 grams of strawberries, and 500 grams of watermelon. ② Try to choose fruits with high fiber content and low sugar content, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, grapefruits, hawthorns, strawberries, kiwis, etc. Patients with severe diabetes should not eat too many fruits.

They can not only meet the needs of the body, but also avoid the excess and accumulation of nutrients. Even if people without diabetes arrange their recipes according to the dietary principles of diabetes, they can still promote health and longevity.
(6) Limit sugar intake. Daily sugar consumption should be limited to less than 10 grams. Avoid eating white sugar, brown sugar, candies, pastries, preserves, sweets, etc. Eat two-color sugar and brown sugar, which are more good. Other condiments, such as saccharin and saccharin sodium salt, should be used as little as possible.
(7) Flexibly add meals. When patients experience hypoglycemic reactions such as palpitations, hand tremors, sweating, hunger, etc., they should immediately eat a piece of candy or 50 grams of steamed buns to relieve the attack. If you can eat a small amount of food before an attack, hypoglycemia can often be prevented. You need to add meals flexibly in your daily life to keep blood sugar in a relatively stable state.
