Diet therapy is an important way to control diabetes. No matter what type of diabetes, no matter the severity of the disease, we must adhere to diet therapy. Diet therapy can reduce the dosage of hypoglycemic drugs. Even patients with mild blood sugar can control blood sugar well even by controlling diet alone. On the contrary, if you do not control your diet and completely rely on drugs, even if you increase the dose or even use several drugs at the same time, you will often not achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects.
How to control diet? The gain is not worth the loss. Many people with diabetes pay attention to what they eat. They dare not eat rice, potatoes or fruits. The result is that blood sugar is not controlled, but there are other problems. In fact, the daily diet of people with diabetes is more important than what they eat. The most important dietary principle for diabetic patients is to control total calories. If you eat more steamed buns, you should eat less steamed buns. The total amount of calories a person needs every day depends on his height, weight and physical activity. On this premise, try to eat less and eat more, that is, reduce the dinner properly and supplement a small amount of meals during meals and before going to bed at night. The advantage of this is that the increase of blood sugar after meals can be avoided, and hypoglycemia during meals and at night can be avoided.
Dietary diversification is also very important to reduce blood sugar. It can not only control calories, but also balance diet according to the intake ratio of various nutrients. The recipe should not be too simple, but coarse cereals, vegetables, fruits and bean products. Fish, shrimp, meat and eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which cannot be replaced by plant foods and should also be taken in an appropriate amount. It is not appropriate to eat coarse grain and vegetables at a time, but it is easy to cause malnutrition.
We should try our best to eat steamed rice, steamed bread, two meters and cakes instead of noodles, porridge, rice, noodles, noodles, etc. The longer the cooking time, the softer and worse the food, that is to say, the better digestion, the faster the sugar rises.
