Diabetic patients are often warned to eat less and eat more meals, thinking that eating this way can avoid too much fluctuation of blood sugar after meals and is conducive to controlling blood sugar. In fact, research shows that three meals a day can control blood sugar better than eating less and more meals, but we must master the correct eating method.

1. Breakfast

In the morning, there is no food to digest in the stomach, and the glycogen stored in the body has been consumed. At this time, it should be replenished in time to avoid hypoglycemia. Therefore, sugar friends eat breakfast every day, especially those who receive insulin injections, and must ensure adequate nutrition. Breakfast should be arranged between 6: 3 and 8: 3, and you can't eat too late. Ensure that breakfast accounts for 25%~3% of the total energy of the whole day, and the amount of staple food for breakfast is controlled within 5 grams. Protein, carbohydrate and fat should be included in breakfast, which can play the role of carbohydrate in rapidly raising postprandial blood sugar. At the same time, protein and fat can maintain blood sugar level for two hours after meals, stabilize blood sugar for the whole morning, and provide enough blood sugar supply for the brain. In addition, we should pay attention to the quality of breakfast, including dairy products, fruits and vegetables, grains and animal foods, and choose boiled eggs, yogurt and tomatoes or cucumbers.

2. Lunch

After a busy morning of work and study, the energy provided by breakfast for the body has almost been consumed, so it is necessary to replenish nutrition for the body in time. Try to arrange lunch time between 11: 3 and 1: 3, and the interval between meals should be at least 4-6 hours. The time for eating lunch is controlled at 3 minutes. If the eating time is too short, it can affect the secretion of digestive juice, and the digestive juice can not be fully mixed with food, which is easy to cause indigestion and increase gastrointestinal discomfort. Eating for too long will lead to excessive food intake. Eat 7~8 minutes full at lunch, and don't overeat. Pay attention to diversification at lunch, including animal food, beans, fruits and vegetables. Because the interval between lunch and dinner is a little longer, you will feel hungry at four to five o'clock, especially those who are injected with insulin are prone to hypoglycemia. You can add meals appropriately and recommend 1/4 apple or soda cookies.

3. Dinner

The interval between dinner and breakfast the next day is long, and the energy provided needs to meet the needs of night activities and night sleep, so a scientific dinner is needed. Try to arrange the dinner time between 18: and 2: , and eat for 4-5 minutes. Choose vegetables or whole grains for dinner, which can not only increase satiety, but also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.

Many diabetics are obsessed with three meals a day or six meals a day. No matter how many meals they eat, it is better to grasp the intake ratio of various nutrients. Eat more calories and carbohydrates for breakfast and lunch at three meals a day, and reduce energy and carbohydrates for dinner. In addition, early intermittent fasting can be adopted, that is, the time of eating all day is arranged between 8: and 14: , which can reduce appetite, give people a certain sense of fullness, adjust energy intake and distribution, and also reduce weight, body fat rate and insulin and glucose levels.

Tips

Diabetic patients must master the diet structure, which is the basis of controlling blood sugar. In addition, it is necessary to monitor blood sugar before going to bed. According to the results of blood sugar monitoring, it is necessary to decide whether to add meals. You can't eat too much at dinner, otherwise it will increase the burden on digestive organs and easily cause insomnia and dreams.
