When it gets cold, many people tend to feel hungry and have a surprisingly good appetite, and their food intake increases intentionally or unintentionally, but they don’t think much of it. Because every time this time of year, “fat” for the winter is a lot of people know the unwritten “practice”. The reasoning is simple: to have enough energy to protect against the cold, the body must have a certain “stock”, so every meal to eat better, eat more than a few pieces of meat, a bowl of porridge before going to bed, or the whole small dishes to drink a glass of wine, seems to be a good way to warm the stomach warm body.
But experts warned that the winter by eating more energy to store the cold tricks, for diabetics but may not work. Because eat more, more stored energy, will lead to increased blood sugar, serious acute complications such as ketoacidosis. The experts suggest that sugar lovers who want to eat to protect the cold can try some “dietary supplements” that benefit the qi, warm the yang and replenish the blood, in order to achieve the purpose of not only increasing the energy storage in the patient’s body, but also to drive away the cold and assist in treatment.
The “fat” to protect the cold, sugar lovers bloated
I’m afraid that “fat” is not going to work on sugar lovers. The actual fact is that it is easy to eat more than one, which can lead to elevated blood sugar and even acute complications such as ketoacidosis.
I sugar lovers can consider taking some Chinese medicine, that is, through the “medicinal tonic” to strengthen the kidneys and waist to disperse the cold, so as not to raise blood sugar, but also to drive away the cold and strengthen the body purpose.

(The “fat” to protect the cold, sugar lovers do not “blind”
In the winter, the cold wind is blowing in the face, making people shrink their heads and necks. Many people return home in a hurry with the cold wind, they have a big appetite, a surprisingly good appetite, the amount of food unconsciously increased. Each meal to eat a few more pieces of meat, a few mouthfuls of rice, dinner sometimes also inevitably want to drink two cups, and even before going to bed to sip a bowl of hot porridge, the stomach “warm”, the body is naturally warm.
”The reason is very simple, eat more tonic, stored energy is more, there is enough heat to protect against the cold.” Professor Liu Min of the Department of Endocrinology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine explained. So, every year, when autumn and winter get cooler, there is an unwritten “custom” of “fat” to make the body store enough energy by eating more, so that the body can grow some fat to protect itself from the cold.
”However, I’m afraid that this kind of cold-weather trick won’t work for diabetic patients.” Professor Liu Min explained that because diabetics have problems with energy metabolism, eating more and storing more energy can lead to higher blood sugar and blood lipids, which not only increases the risk of serious complications such as ketoacidosis, but also increases the risk of cardiovascular complications such as coronary heart disease and stroke. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are not only in the market, but also in the marketplace. The “disease from the mouth”.
(The sugar lovers to protect themselves from the cold, medicine is more appropriate
”In fact, sugar lovers to achieve the purpose of cold, you can consider through the appropriate drug tonic to achieve.” Professor Liu Min pointed out that, according to the patient’s physical deficiency, cold and heat, the use of the corresponding Chinese medicine “the right medicine” to supplement, can achieve the purpose of cold, nourishing blood, warming Yang, benefit Qi, but not to increase the patient’s body energy storage, why not do it. Moreover, the effect of using Chinese medicine in winter is better than that in summer. Because of the easy sweating in summer, the medicinal effect will be lost. Therefore, it is reasonable to take tonic in winter.
But before using the medicine, we must identify the body type. For example, patients with Yang deficiency can use red ginseng and deer antler to eat meat stew to replenish Yang energy; those with Yin deficiency can have some dendrobium, maitake and silver fungus soup; those with blood deficiency can stew some gum or fish glue; those with Qi deficiency can add Astragalus, Wuzi Maotao and Radix Codonopsis in soup and so on. These are mostly “dietary supplements” to nourish the blood and warm the yang without adding too much energy. Sugar lovers who need long-term supplements can also consider taking creams, but they must consult a professional doctor before taking supplements carefully.

Everything can be eaten
Don’t eat too much of anything
How should sugar lovers eat and what is appropriate to eat? Professor Liu Min said, sugar lovers should try to diversify their diet throughout the day, that is, except for food with very high sugar content, they can eat anything, but they should not eat more of anything. This can ensure the intake of a variety of nutrients, but also over the mouth, and will not eat high blood sugar, high blood fat, high uric acid, high blood pressure. He suggested that sugar lovers can follow the following basic principles, and then combine their actual situation and dietary habits to make adjustments.
1.Diversification of staple foods
In the composition of the energy required by the body a day, 50% to 60% by carbohydrates, staple foods belong to carbohydrates. Asian staple foods are mainly rice, steamed buns, noodles and other foods, sugar lovers can eat three meals a day or more meals, “eat more meals” is better than “overeating”. But no matter which way you choose, the total amount of food you eat needs to be controlled. According to Prof. Liu Min, the daily staple food is 5-6 taels for those who are less active, and 7-8 taels for those who exercise a lot; 1 bag of milk or soy milk (not to be eaten by those with high uric acid and gout). However, sugar lovers try not to eat fried food, such as foreign fast food, spicy crab and other fried and fragrant food, which is not good for blood sugar control.
In addition, for sugar lovers who like to drink porridge, they must remember the phrase: “Drinking thin rice is equal to drinking sugar water”. Because of the fast digestion and absorption of porridge, blood sugar will soon rise after drinking, and before the second meal, the stomach is empty, very easy to appear low blood sugar, so that blood sugar will be like a “roller coaster” like fluctuations, which is more harmful than high blood sugar. Therefore, sugar lovers try not to drink porridge, especially the long-cooked “mee porridge”. If you really like to drink porridge, you should drink some mixed grain porridge, which has lower blood sugar than white porridge.
2, vegetables can fill the hunger
Sugar can eat about 2 taels of lean meat daily, uric acid and cholesterol value is not high people can eat some seafood, but avoid raw food (such as raw fish, raw shrimp and crab), because raw seafood is most likely to hurt the spleen and stomach (spleen Yang); one to two eggs (blood lipids, high cholesterol people do not eat egg yolk); can eat some freshwater fish. One to three pounds of vegetables a day, if you feel full, you can fill up with vegetables.
The following types of vegetables are more beneficial to diabetics and can be eaten with confidence.
1. Cucumber: sugar content of only 1.6%, can provide vitamin C, carotene, fiber and minerals for diabetics. Studies have found that cucumber contains malonic acid to inhibit the transformation of glycogen into fat, is a combination of obesity or hyperlipidemia preferred by sugar lovers a therapeutic vegetable. However, cucumber is cold, so people with a weak spleen and stomach should not eat more.
2. Lettuce: the content of sugar and fat are very low, containing insulin activator.
3. Bamboo shoot: high fiber content, can delay the digestion of food and glucose absorption in the intestine, which helps control blood sugar after meals. It is especially suitable for sugar lovers with dry stools. But should not eat too much on an empty stomach, otherwise easy to stomach bloating, abdominal pain.
4. Onion: Prostaglandin A and sulfur amino acids contained in the vasodilator, blood pressure and lipid regulating effect, the prevention of complications of diabetes beneficial. Those who like to drink, you can put the right amount of onions to red wine soaking, and then drink, has the effect of lowering blood sugar, blood lipids, softening blood vessels.
3. Don’t drink wine or drink less
In the long run, sugar lovers should give up alcohol completely, but it is difficult to do this for people who usually have drinking habits, especially near the New Year’s Eve and more dinners are more likely to trigger “alcohol addiction”. Liu Min reminded, non-obese and good blood sugar control, normal liver function of sugar lovers (fasting blood sugar in 7.8 mmol / L below), in the absence of serious diabetic complications, but also not combined with other serious diseases, can be appropriate to drink a little.
However, if sugar lovers want to drink alcohol, they should also choose dry red and white wines with low sugar content, and other wines with lower ethanol content such as beer can also be consumed appropriately, but they should not drink alcohol more than twice a week, and the amount each time should be strictly controlled, for example: 1 tael of low white wine, or 1 cup of beer, or 2 taels of wine, or 1 tael of foreign wine.
Of course, due to the dietary habits of each person, height, fat and thin and internal organs function is not the same, diet varieties and food should be different, the above tips can only be for reference, the specific operation should be adjusted appropriately according to individual differences.
