First, the diet should be light, eat more green leafy vegetables and coarse grains, and eat less spicy, greasy, fried, barbecue and other foods. You should eat more green leafy vegetables, including lettuce, chicory, dandelion, oily wheat, spinach, celery and so on. For the choice of coarse grains, you can choose sorghum rice, corn, buckwheat, millet and so on.
Second, the diet should be soft and easy to digest, because the gastrointestinal function of the elderly is relatively weak, and the elderly are not easy to digest hard and cold food. Therefore, elderly diabetics should choose other grains that are soft and digestible to eat.
Third, for elderly diabetics, we should eat less sugary foods, including fruits, and should not thicken when cooking, and eat less oil and salt. Because oil equals sugar, we should eat less oil and meat, and achieve a balanced diet, which is the most critical factor for elderly diabetics.
Therefore, to achieve the above points can well control the blood sugar of elderly diabetic patients.
