1. Meal time is less than 15 minutes per meal

Diabetes patients eat fast and tend to overeat, leading to out-of-control blood sugar. Chewing is an important link to help food digestion. Although the islet function of patients with type 2 diabetes is partially damaged, the habit of chewing slowly can continuously stimulate islet cells to secrete insulin, thus playing a role in lowering blood sugar.

It is recommended that diabetic patients have a meal for at least 15 minutes.

2. I like to eat fried food

Fried food is high in oil content, which can easily lead to excessive energy intake and uncontrolled blood sugar.

It is suggested that diabetic patients should try to use the cooking methods of mixing, steaming and frying as much as possible, and avoid the cooking methods such as salting, sugaring, sweet and sour, smoking and frying as much as possible.

3. Eat a lot of sugar-free food for a long time

According to national standards, "sugar-free" means that the sugar contained in every 1 grams (or 1 ml) of food does not exceed .5 grams.

according to this definition, "sugar-free" food may also contain some sugar. "No more than .5g of sugar" in the national standard refers to all monosaccharides and disaccharides, including glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose.

Therefore, although there is no sucrose, there can be honey, syrup, fruit juice, etc., and the influence on blood sugar can be imagined.

Therefore, diabetics can eat sugar-free food, but enough is enough.

4. After eating more food, increase the dosage of medicine

Some sugar friends often can't help eating more when they feel hungry, and at the same time they also increase the dosage of medicine by themselves, mistakenly thinking that their diet has increased, and eating more hypoglycemic drugs can "offset" the more food they eat.

In fact, this not only makes diet control ineffective, but also increases the burden on pancreas and the probability of hypoglycemia and adverse drug reactions, which is very unfavorable for disease control.

Diet needs to be quantified. If you are hungry before meals, you can add meals appropriately, and the energy of adding meals should be included in the total energy of the day.

5. Eat more coarse grains and seldom eat flour and rice

Coarse grains contain more dietary fiber. Although dietary fiber has hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering and laxative effects, it is beneficial to the body, but eating more may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of nutrients. Long-term consumption will lead to malnutrition.

And coarse grains are also grains, which contain as much energy as flour and rice. If it is not restricted, it will lead to more energy intake than needed, which is extremely unfavorable for blood sugar control.

It is suggested that diabetic patients should eat coarse and fine grains together, and they should not lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another.

6. Don't eat sugar, but you can eat more honey

Some sugar lovers dare not eat sugar, so they eat some honey instead of sweetness, and they firmly believe that honey has the effect of treating constipation. In fact, honey and royal jelly contain high concentration of glucose, and eating too much will also increase blood sugar and affect diabetes control, so this statement is wrong.

It is suggested that diabetics use sweeteners instead of sucrose, and there are many ways to treat constipation, not necessarily honey.

I hope you don't have these unhealthy eating behaviors.
