Diabetes is to high blood sugar as the main manifestation, as the current society generally concerned about the chronic disease, to a large extent, confuse diabetic patients and their families, high blood sugar patients need to control diet, appropriate exercise, regular medication, regular monitoring and other aspects of management. But in practice, the operation is not so easy.

Today, several hotspots of patients' concern are summarized as "eating, drinking, pulling, spreading, and sleeping in patients with hyperglycemia", and some experiences and tips are taught to you from these aspects. In particular, how to regulate the diet and what are the taboos.

One, eat

People eat, diabetics are no exception. The principle of diet for diabetics should be the same as the healthy diet concept currently advocated - low salt and low fat, less fried, more vegetables and fruits.

People with diabetes also need to do is to control the total calorie intake, pay attention to the three meals of sugar, fat, protein ratio. The specific amount of each major nutrient should be calculated according to the patient's height, weight and activity level.

But in terms of dietary control there are often many patients who go to two extremes.

One: dietary control is too strict, dare not eat anything. This type of patients tend to value life, eat very little, the intake of energy does not reach the basic calories needed to maintain normal human activity. The blood sugar is controlled, but this leads to a decline in resistance and induces other diseases that can also be life-threatening.

The second is to not take diabetes seriously and to eat a lot of food. This category of patients think that it is too difficult to eat in full accordance with the requirements of the diabetes diet, but also too meaningless, simply hold the idea of today's wine and drunkenness. In fact, both of these categories are not desirable.

At the beginning of the implementation of dietary control, diabetic patients will have varying degrees of hunger, resulting in some patients can not adhere to follow through with the diet plan, which is very detrimental to the control of blood glucose.

If hunger pangs occur, diabetic patients may want to try the following methods: staple food more coarse grains, mixed grains, vegetables, which can increase the body's tolerance to hunger pangs.

Save about 1/5 of the staple food in each meal as an extra meal when you are hungry; slow down when you eat, do chew and swallow slowly, to prevent the brain from eating too fast because it hasn't received the signal that you are full, and then you have already eaten.

Diabetic patients diet advocate "less thin more dry". Currently most nutritional experts advocate drinking soup before meals, because first of all, drinking soup before meals is equivalent to adding a little lubricant to the digestive tract, so that food can be swallowed smoothly.

Secondly, drink some soup before meals, soup to the stomach through the vagus nerve reflex to the brainstem of the feeding center, so that the excitability of the food center decreases, the amount of food will be reduced accordingly; again, the soup itself occupies a certain amount of stomach, can increase the sense of satiety.

And drinking soup after a meal, most people will only drink more and more fat, because after eating a full meal and then drink soup, will support the stomach more and more big, the appetite has become more and more big, plus the soup will have a lot of fat and calories, it will make the intake of nutrients, which will lead to obesity.

For eating noodles is the same principle, flour contains a lot of "sugar", in the process of cooking noodles, a considerable part of the dissolved in the soup, so that the soup sugar content rose, while the sugar water is easy to be digested and absorbed, diabetic patients eat noodles and then drink the soup may make the blood glucose spike.

Two, drink

Water is the source of life, diabetics should be how to drink water? Some diabetics believe that they should drink less water, and he believes that the diabetes "three more and one less" in the polyuria is caused by more drinking. So even if you are thirsty in the summer, you don't dare to drink more water.

In fact, this is not the case, because the lack of water will lead to higher blood glucose concentration, diabetic patients should not only refrain from drinking water, but also to replenish more water than normal people.

Diabetics should avoid the stimulation of gastrointestinal function by ice water, and also avoid carbonated drinks to prevent the rise of blood sugar. The most suitable for diabetics to drink is plain water. Fruit juice should be selected according to the principle of high water content and low sugar content.

Drinking is a culture among the Chinese, and drinking is often considered a catalyst for success. Is there a limit to drinking alcohol with diabetes? First of all, drinking large amounts of alcohol is definitely harmful.

But people with diabetes can drink in moderation, and the amount of alcohol consumed can be limited to 15 grams of alcohol twice a week, which is roughly the same concept as 50 milliliters of 38-degree baijiu (white wine), 150 milliliters of red wine, or 450 milliliters of beer.

Three, "LaSalle"

Life for a variety of reasons, the phenomenon of holding back the urine often occurs, especially also in the workplace people. As an occupational characteristic, sometimes have to hold urine when there is a desire to urinate, and over time in the free time is also accustomed to hold urine.

Normal people so, diabetic patients hold urine more often. Some diabetic patients themselves have autonomic neuropathy, holding back urine may aggravate the degeneration of nerve function, and finally will lead to want to urinate but can not come out of the situation, easy to lead to urinary retention.

Additionally, diabetic patients themselves have high blood sugar, poor control of urine sugar will also be high, holding back urine is easy to cause urinary tract infections, is also very dangerous one of the complications. So diabetics should never hold their urine when they have the urge to urinate.

Four, sleep

Because of a variety of reasons diabetic patients are prone to insomnia, poor sleep in turn will aggravate the fluctuation of blood glucose, thus forming a vicious circle.

The main causes of insomnia in diabetic patients include: fear of hypoglycemia at night while sleeping; excessive psychological stress; high blood sugar leading to neurological dysfunction; and too much excitement before going to bed watching TV.

Soaking feet in warm water before going to bed, adding a meal before going to bed, and maintaining stable blood sugar are all tips that can help diabetics sleep.
