One of the dietary misconceptions: diabetes should be eaten less Many people have this view, so that this dare not eat that dare not eat, resulting in malnutrition. The dietary principle of diabetes is to control the weight within the ideal range through a reasonable and balanced diet, so for the thin people should eat more appropriately, so that weight gain up; for obese people should eat less, so that weight loss down. Dietary misconceptions: peanuts, walnuts contain less sugar, can eat more common patients eat very little staple food, and peanuts, walnuts, melon seeds and other dried fruit as a snack to eat a lot of this practice is very wrong, these oily dried fruit contains twice the calories of food, is a diabetic should eat less food. Dietary Myths No. 3: Diabetes can not eat fruit Patients with poor blood sugar control should not eat fruit for the time being, but patients with good blood sugar control should eat some fruit between meals to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients. The nutrition of vegetables cannot replace fruits. One of the misconceptions about medication: Western medicine has side effects, while Chinese medicine has no side effects Objectively speaking, all drugs may have side effects, but as long as the reasonable choice can be completely minimized. At present, western medicine is the mainstream of diabetes treatment, Chinese medicine is only auxiliary. You should not believe in some irresponsible advertising and fantasize that Chinese medicine can cure diabetes, so as not to be deceived. The same drugs are taken in different ways with different doses, and the effect can be completely different. The basic link in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance and insulin secretion defects, specifically to a patient the proportion of these two is not the same, the selection of drugs is also different, insulin resistance-based people should choose insulin sensitizers, and vice versa to use insulin promoters or insulin. The selection of drugs should also consider the impact on liver and kidney function and other factors. Medication Myth No. 4: Fear of insulin Insulin is a normal hormone in the body and is not addictive. As long as the dose is mastered, insulin can also be said to be the least side effects of glucose-lowering drugs. Therefore, when it is time to use insulin, you should not hesitate to receive insulin treatment.
