And fruit should be eaten between meals to minimize fluctuations in blood sugar.
5, 6 grams of salt, two spoons of oil

6, diabetes-specific food choices
Second, diabetic patients should eat the fruit
1, figs. Sugar key points: acids, enzymes
Figs can help digestion, promote appetite. It contains a variety of lipids, help relieve diabetics complications constipation. Figs contain lipase, hydrolase and other components that can break down fat, thereby reducing fat deposition in blood vessels, stabilizing blood pressure, and preventing coronary heart disease.
2, dragon fruit. Lower sugar key point: high fiber, low sugar, low calorie
3, orange. Lower sugar key point: low sugar content
4, apple. Lower sugar key point: pectin, dietary fiber

Third, diabetic dietary taboos
1, should not drink
Because the alcohol contained in the wine does not contain any other nutrients, but only to provide calories, each gram of alcohol can produce heat about 7 kcal, that is, about 294 joules, long-term consumption of liver is very unfavorable, but also prone to serum triglyceride elevation. The increase of triglyceride is easy to cause serum triglyceride. A small number of patients taking sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs are prone to panic, shortness of breath, red cheeks and other reactions after drinking alcohol. Note that insulin patients are prone to hypoglycemia when drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, so it is better not to drink alcohol for the patient's safety.
2, high-calorie food
3, high sugar content of food
4, easy to make the rapid rise in blood glucose food
5, easy to make the rise in blood fat food
Fourth, the diabetes dietary principles
1, three meals at regular intervals, fixed quantity
The diabetic should try to keep the blood sugar stable, avoid large fluctuations, especially the use of glucose-lowering drugs and insulin patients, sugar can not be rushed. In order to lower sugar and blind diet or a meal not to eat is not desirable, irregular diet is not conducive to the doctor to adjust the dose of drugs, but also cause hypoglycemia. Therefore, the diet should be regular, quantitative, and reasonable additional meals. Meal time is recommended for breakfast at 6:30~8:30, lunch at 11:30~13:30, and dinner at 18:00~20:00, based on which it is best to take part of the main meal as an extra meal, which can be consumed between meals, and can better alleviate the pressure on blood glucose after the main meal.
2, balanced food
Everyone has a dietary preference, they like the food usually eat more, encounter their own dislike of most people will eat less or even do not eat. But the truth is that no single food can satisfy all the nutrient needs of an adult, and each food has its own nutritional advantages. Therefore, the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents suggests that we should have a balanced intake of all kinds of food, and the wider the variety of food, the better. For diabetics, it's important to avoid picky eating habits.
3, dietary fiber is beneficial to glycemic control
Food provides the body with the energy needed for life activities, in the Chinese dietary structure of the energy source to carbohydrate-based, glucose is one of the most important carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates in food are mostly digested and broken down into glucose to be absorbed and provide energy for the body, and glucose in the blood is called blood sugar. Knowing this, if we want our blood sugar to rise slowly after a meal, we need to slow down the process of food digestion and absorption. Roughage contains a lot of dietary fiber, can slow down the digestion process, and these dietary fiber is often in the process of grain refining lost. So as long as the digestive function is normal, it is best to increase the proportion of coarse grains in the staple food.
4, light diet: less oil, less salt, less sweet
With the improvement of the standard of living of China's residents, the intake of animal food has also increased significantly. These delicious food supplemented with high-quality protein at the same time also bring more fat. In addition, the amount of oil used in cooking has greatly increased, and our fat intake has also increased unknowingly. On the other hand, the 2002 survey on the nutritional and health status of Chinese residents showed that the daily salt intake of urban and rural residents in China was 12g, which greatly exceeded the limit of 6g of salt per day recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents. Although refined sugar can bring sweet and pleasant flavor to food, it can be broken down and absorbed more quickly, which has a great impact on blood sugar. So diabetics should pay attention to reduce animal fat, cooking oil, salt, pickles, pickles, soy sauce, refined sugar, candied foods and sweet drinks in their daily diet.
