Some diabetic friends have high fasting blood sugar in the morning, so this meal in the morning actually needs some thinking. In short, breakfast should pay attention to balanced nutrition, so that the staple food, meat, eggs, fish, milk and other protein foods are reasonably matched, and vegetables and fruits are reasonably matched.
It is best for diabetics with coarse grains to take coarse grains as the staple food for breakfast, and avoid taking polished rice and white flour as the staple food and not eating fried foods such as fried dough sticks. Foods such as polished rice and white flour have high carbohydrate content, which can be easily converted into glucose after entering the human body, leading to a rapid increase in blood sugar, which will increase the burden on islets. Don't take fried dough sticks as the staple food, fried food contains high fat, which will also induce blood sugar to rise.
Whole grains are more conducive to controlling blood sugar and are very beneficial to diabetic patients. The advantage of miscellaneous grains is that they contain more dietary fiber, healthy fat, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, which can delay the rise of blood sugar after entering the human body. Still full, I won't be greedy for anything else.
Nutrition should be comprehensive. Although breakfast is a relatively simple meal, we should pay attention to comprehensive nutrition, not too perfunctory, and not to eat a single food for a long time. If you eat too simply and have insufficient nutrition intake, it will not only make the human body lack nutrition, but also adversely affect blood sugar control. Breakfast must include three categories, namely carbohydrate, protein and dietary fiber. Carbohydrate is the staple food, and protein can get dietary fiber from milk or eggs, that is, some fruits and vegetables, which are indispensable.
Don't eat breakfast out often. In the morning, some office workers are in a hurry, so many people choose to eat breakfast in restaurants outside. This is not a good habit for diabetics. Regardless of food safety, food itself is not suitable for diabetics. In particular, some fried dough sticks, oil cakes, pickles and other foods are high in fat and calories, and salt may also exceed the standard, which will affect blood sugar.
Variety A good breakfast should include at least four kinds of food, such as cereal, meat, eggs, milk and dairy products, vegetables and fruits. First, there can be more vegetables, protein and carbohydrates in breakfast. For the choice of staple food, you can choose some miscellaneous grains such as steamed bread, miscellaneous grains rolls, eggs and some vegetables, which can not only ensure the intake of carbohydrates, but also ensure the intake of high-quality protein and dietary fiber. This can not only increase the satiety of diabetic patients, but also provide a variety of nutrients to ensure that patients' blood sugar will not rise and make them more energetic.
Every patient's situation is different. You can ask a dietitian to make a preliminary diet plan according to the comprehensive diet structure, patients' subjective symptoms and objective test results. But this is not a once-and-for-all thing. You should come back once a month at most, and then make adjustments. In addition, the daily diet should be adjusted in time according to the dining situation, physical activity, blood sugar monitoring and gastrointestinal function. Reasonable control of total energy is the main principle of nutritional treatment for diabetes mellitus, and it is appropriate to maintain or slightly lower than the ideal weight. Protein must account for more than 1/3 of the total daily energy; The daily fat intake should not exceed 30%.
Sugar friends with stable condition should ensure at least three meals a day. Sugar friends who are prone to hypoglycemia and blood sugar fluctuations need to add meals appropriately. Eat 5~6 times a day, and divide the food with the same weight into 6 portions, so the pressure of each portion is naturally reduced, which not only ensures the total intake of one day, but also prevents excessive intake of one meal and raises blood sugar. Many patients often say that their salt intake is well controlled. For example, they use a salt-limiting spoon every time they cook, but they ignore many "salt-containing households". Therefore, to avoid eating too much salt, we should start from two aspects: one is to eat less tangible salt, and the other is to eat less intangible salt.
