1, can not “eat soft afraid of hard” Nutritionist research found that eating softer food, blood sugar rises faster. If the rice is boiled into porridge, the starch has been partially transformed into dextrin, which is easier to digest and absorb than starch, and is quickly converted into glucose in the body, causing a rapid rise in blood sugar. The longer the porridge is boiled, the more viscous the porridge is, the faster the blood sugar rises after eating. Therefore, it is best for diabetic patients not to “eat soft and afraid of hard”. To “eat hard not soft”, the taste of hard food digested more slowly, so it is not easy to make the blood sugar rise quickly. 2, can not eat “only food” Although the glycemic index of high food on the post-prandial blood glucose impact, but if you pick the low glycemic index of food to eat, but easy to lead to unbalanced nutrition. Mixing food is an effective way to control postprandial blood sugar. In other words, mix high glycemic index food with low glycemic index food to reduce the impact of food on post-prandial blood sugar. 3, do not “hope to quench thirst” Some diabetic patients in order to control the “polyuria” symptoms, afraid to drink more water, so that “hope to quench thirst”. In fact, diabetic patients need to drink more water. Diabetic patients are in a state of high blood sugar, drinking water can make the plasma osmotic pressure drop or return to normal, to play a role in lowering blood sugar. If you restrict drinking water, it will lead to a reduction in blood volume, which will raise blood sugar, and will aggravate the hypertonic (higher than plasma osmolality) state, which is very detrimental to the condition. It should be reminded that if you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, it is too late, when blood sugar has already occurred a certain fluctuation. 4, don’t “fill the pie with hunger” Many diabetic patients think that diet therapy is hunger therapy, every meal staple food (grain type) eat little or even do not eat. If you do not eat staple foods or eat too little, the body needs a lack of glucose sources, the body will have to use fat to release energy, which will be accompanied by ketone body generation, through the kidney excretion can appear ketonuria. Therefore, both healthy people and diabetic patients, the daily staple food should not be less than 150 grams, otherwise ketosis is likely to occur. 5, should not eat too much Many diabetic patients often bloated after meals, burping, nausea, vomiting, etc., but also with a sour smell, as if the things eaten pile in the stomach can not get down. When these symptoms occur, be alert to the possibility of diabetic gastroparesis. Eating regularly is the basic treatment for diabetic gastroparesis. Patients should absolutely avoid overeating, eat regularly and quantitatively every day, and allocate 1/3 of each of the three meals in the morning, midday and evening. 6, should not eat more salt Salt contains sodium, and the internal environment of diabetic patients is very sensitive to changes in the concentration of sodium ions, when the concentration of sodium ions in the body is high, it will increase blood volume and increase the burden on the heart and kidneys. Under normal circumstances, an adult should have a daily salt intake of 6 grams. Diabetic patients should be 4~5 grams, and if combined with hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular lesions and kidney disease, it should be controlled at 3~4 grams per day, which includes the consumption of soy sauce. General 20 ml of soy sauce contains 2 to 3 grams of salt. 7, do not drink carbonated drinks Diabetic patients should not drink sugary carbonated drinks, such as cola, Sprite, etc.. If a diabetic patient sweats more and does not rehydrate in time, or drinks a lot of sugary drinks, this is very likely to lead to diabetic non-ketotic hypertonic coma (a complication of type 2 diabetes, manifested as hyperglycemia, severe dehydration, impaired consciousness). 8, do not eat fruit immediately after a meal Eating fruit immediately after a meal will raise blood sugar and increase the burden on the islets. In addition, eat fruit immediately after meals, will be the first to eat the indigestible fat, protein “blocked” in the stomach, fruit in the stomach “stationed” for too long, will affect the digestive function, causing flatulence. The best time to eat fruit is between meals. Because the stomach and intestines are empty at this time, the vitamins and minerals in the fruit can be absorbed quickly on an empty stomach, and can avoid flatulence.
