Vegetables for diabetic patients Vegetables generally contain a high amount of dietary fiber, which is beneficial for controlling diabetes. When choosing varieties, it is advisable to use vegetables that contain very few carbohydrates and calories. If you eat a large amount, you should deduct the corresponding amount of staple foods. In general, the amount of vegetables containing very little carbohydrate is not strictly limited. Each eating 500-700 grams Yan staple food about 25 grams. These vegetables include large and small cabbage, rape, chickpea, spinach, celery, leek, snow peas, lettuce, zucchini, winter squash, cucumber, tomatoes and so on. Vegetables containing moderate amounts of carbohydrates are appropriately limited. Each eating 200-400 grams should be Yan main food 25 grams. Such vegetables include cabbage, water spinach, amaranth, loofah, wild rice, asparagus, white radish, carrot, onion, onion, beans, string beans, etc. Vegetables that contain large amounts of carbohydrates should be strictly limited and detailed calculations of nutrient content should be deducted from the main diet. Such vegetables include potatoes, taro, lotus root, garlic, peas, fava beans, etc. The amount of diabetic diet can be calculated: height as a benchmark Taking into account age Each diabetic patient has a different age, body mass, and activity level, and the amount of energy consumed is different. The older you are, the less energy you consume; and the more you exercise, the more energy you consume. The more energy consumed, you should eat more; consume less energy, eat less as appropriate. Some people who are thin and weak, you can eat more; some people who are fat, we should eat less. This is done, on the one hand, taking into account the body’s energy stores, on the other hand, also taking into account the needs of people’s daily work and life. Patients who are thin and weak have insufficient heat reserves, and if they engage in activities that consume too much energy, they must increase their food intake to ensure adequate energy supply. In older people, energy consumption is greatly reduced compared to younger people, at this time, if you eat too much, it will certainly cause blood sugar to rise, and even aggravate the disease. Under normal circumstances, the amount of various types of food consumed daily by diabetic patients 1, height greater than 175 cm, normal size or thin male. Daily consumption of food is: 300 grams of cereals, 50 grams of beans, 450 grams of vegetables, 100 grams of fruits, 100 grams of meat, 50 grams of eggs, 100 grams of milk, 50 grams of fish, 25 grams of fats and oils. 2, height less than 175 cm, normal body type or height greater than 175 cm obese men. Daily consumption of food: 250 grams of cereals, 50 grams of beans, 400 grams of vegetables, 80 grams of fruits, 75 grams of meat, 40 grams of eggs, 100 grams of milk, 50 grams of fish, 25 grams of fats and oils. 3, height less than 175 cm of obese men or normal size women. Daily consumption of food: 230 grams of cereals, 50 grams of beans, 350 grams of vegetables, 60 grams of fruit, 50 grams of meat, 38 grams of eggs, 100 grams of milk, 50 grams of fish, 25 grams of fats and oils. 4, obese women. Daily consumption of food: 190 grams of cereals, 50 grams of beans, 300 grams of vegetables, 50 grams of fruit, 50 grams of meat, 25 grams of eggs, 100 grams of milk, 50 grams of fish, 25 grams of fats and oils. The diabetic diet is actually very simple Do not see how difficult the diabetic diet treatment, from a nutritional point of view, as long as you know the scientific collocation and food generation nutrition principle, sometimes “lazy” a little easier to reduce the blood sugar production of food, such as coarse grains do not fine work, vegetables do not cut, beans eaten whole grain not grind …… these eating habits “tips” can greatly reduce the body to reduce blood sugar production. In the end, they all involve a concept newly introduced in the field of diabetic diet therapy: the “food glycemic index”. Beans and dairy are low-glycemic foods Diabetes diet is one of the most basic and important treatments, and a proper diet can effectively control diabetes. In the past, we have been using the food exchange method to guide diabetics how to choose food, and many doctors and diabetic patients have some knowledge about this, this classical method has played an important role in sugar control, however, only pay attention to the chemically equivalent carbohydrates and energy, without considering the different types of equivalent carbohydrates and other food components on blood sugar, especially the exchange table does not reflect the In particular, the exchange tables do not reflect the differences in glycemic response of different foods. Research has shown that even foods containing equal amounts of carbohydrates lead to different glycemic responses in the body, therefore, experts have proposed the concept of “food glycemic index” to help diabetics control their diet more effectively, which is more practical and effective than the food exchange method. What is “food glycemic index”? In fact, it is an effective indicator to measure the postprandial blood glucose response caused by food, which refers to the percentage value of blood glucose response level in the body within a certain period of time (usually 2 hours) between food containing 50 grams of carbohydrates and an equivalent amount of glucose or white bread, and it is a comparative value reflecting the speed and ability of food to raise blood glucose compared with glucose. Generally speaking, food glycemic index >70 is high food glycemic index food, they enter the gastrointestinal digestion fast, high absorption rate, glucose release fast, glucose into the blood after the peak high; food glycemic index <55 is low food glycemic index food, they stay in the gastrointestinal long time, low absorption rate, glucose release slow, glucose into the blood after the peak low, fall They have long residence time in the stomach and intestines, low absorption rate, slow release of glucose, low peak of glucose into the blood and slow decline. Diabetes diet treatment rules: (1) diet and living should be regular: must do on time to wake up, on time to rest, practice confirmed that regular life can keep the body metabolism in the best condition, is the primary condition of diabetes control, the establishment of reasonable, scientific dietary habits, is the basis of diabetes treatment; strengthen physical activity can play a similar role to insulin, help to lower sugar, lower lipids, improve (2) Quit smoking and avoid alcohol. (2) Quit smoking and avoid alcohol: Long-term alcohol consumption will make it difficult to control diabetes and aggravate the disease. The excessive ethanol in alcohol can directly damage the pancreas, making the original damaged pancreatic function suffer another blow and difficult to recover. The nicotine in cigarettes stimulates the secretion of adrenaline, which can raise blood sugar, increase platelet adhesion, and contribute to atherosclerosis. Smoking diabetic patients, the incidence of nephropathy is two times that of non-smokers, it can be seen that tobacco and alcohol for diabetic patients are harmful, should be strictly quit smoking and alcohol. (3) stable emotions: more and more practice has proved that diabetic patients in fatigue, anxiety, disappointment, emotional excitement, causing increased neuroendocrine responsiveness, increased hormone secretion, reduced insulin secretion, and caused by increased blood sugar. (4) Diabetic patients will not affect their access to a beautiful marriage and family. Diabetic patients with diminished sexual function or impotence are seen in patients with unsatisfactory long-term disease control, and can be expected to recover after blood sugar is controlled or with appropriate treatment, avoid taking aphrodisiac drugs indiscriminately, which will deplete fluid and help fire to rob Yin and accelerate the progress of diabetes.
