Many obese patients are accompanied by diabetes, and they eat three or even fewer meals in order to lose weight and better control their blood sugar. Since it is to reduce weight, then why still advocate the addition of meals? First of all, if the amount of food is on the low side, the relative amount of food is easy to increase, easy to postprandial hyperglycemia! At the same time, many patients will take hypoglycemic drugs, may also appear to raise blood sugar! The biggest taboo for diabetics is that blood sugar fluctuates greatly, and eating fewer meals can be effectively avoided. Dinner is not eaten a lot, but the next day fasting blood glucose will be high, the reason is because of the middle of the night hypoglycemia caused by stress hyperglycemia, that is, commonly known as the phenomenon of Sumujie. If, fasting blood sugar is high, and nighttime hypoglycemia occurs, you may want to try to add a meal before bedtime. On the one hand, you can avoid hypoglycemia at night, and on the other hand, you can reduce the hunger of some people due to the long time between dinner and breakfast the next day, which is extremely favorable to prevent hypoglycemia at night. It is easier said than done, but there is still a lot to learn. How to add meals scientifically How much to add meals must be established on the basis of a certain amount of calories per day, reduce the amount of meals, each meal only eat six or seven minutes full, that is, the feeling of eating also line, do not eat also not hungry degree. The food should be absorbed from the main meal as an additional meal, do not use the main meal in accordance with the original amount, and then again to add food. Each additional food contains 50 to 100 calories can be. 50 calories that is half a corn, 2 spoons of oatmeal, 3 dumplings, 10 peanuts; 100 calories that is 3 slices of soda crackers, 500 grams of watermelon with skin, a small banana. When to add a meal Adding a meal is preferred 2 to 3 hours after the meal. Generally speaking, 2 hours after the meal to reach the peak of blood glucose value, followed by a decline, the meal should be in the decline of the time. Some special circumstances occur when do not stick to the time of meal refill, to add meals in a timely manner. When the amount of movement is too large, a small amount of food should be eaten after exercise; when hypoglycemic reaction occurs, meals should be eaten immediately, drink sugar water, honey water, or eat cookies and so on. What to eat for additional meals Additional meals are recommended to use milk, sugar-free yogurt, soda crackers, soy sauce beef, baked steamed bread slices, whole wheat bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. 1 two rice, 1 two white flour is equivalent to 6 to 8 soda crackers. Sugar lovers with better blood sugar control can eat additional meals with low sugar content fruits, such as small Guo Guang apples, pears, grapefruit, oranges, strawberries, etc., but the amount should be controlled at 100 to 200 grams. Blood sugar control is not good when you can use cucumbers, tomatoes instead of fruit. Which food should not be used as a meal will be sugar-free food as a meal is the choice of many sugar lovers, but the so-called “sugar-free food” is essentially not added sucrose food, which still contains a large number of carbohydrates, and some are also rich in fat, so you can not eat at will. I’ve seen this kind of sugar lover, three meals control is good, plus meals like to eat sugar-free pastry, blood sugar control is not ideal. Be careful with nuts to fill up food, such as peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, etc., because nuts are rich in fat, with them to fill up hunger is not conducive to controlling the total calorie intake of the day. Homemade food Diabetes is getting younger and younger, and many office workers have become a problem. In fact, we can make a lot of low glycemic index foods to make it easier to eat at work. Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also convenient and accurate. Mixed grain buns: (1) take 250 grams of white flour, 250 grams of mixed flour (cornmeal, millet, oat flour, etc.), 10 grams of soybean flour, two eggs, with low-fat / sugar-free milk and noodles; (2) after the rise of the surface into 10 or 20 small steamed buns and then steamed. Such a small steamed bread about 1 two or half the weight of two, not only rich in carbohydrates, but also includes dietary fiber, minerals, high-quality protein and other nutrients, there is also a very important point is that this small steamed bread glycemic index compared to the white flour is much lower, is conducive to maintaining the stability of blood sugar. Diabetes is a chronic disease, once found only that the pancreas has been irreversibly damaged! Whether it is “weight loss”, “pre-glycemic theory, post-glycemic theory” or “change the microbiota”, only in the explanation of the theory that after surgery can be stabbed secretion of insulin. Surgery only results in a complete remission of obesity-induced type 2 diabetes. Although the blood sugar control is stable, the damage to the pancreas is irreparable. Even if the blood sugar is stable, it is also necessary to pay more attention to eating habits, with a foregone conclusion, do not repeat the mistake, health is the real wealth.
