Diet therapy for diabetics is the primary means of controlling diabetes and is no less important than drug therapy. People are food, diabetic patients do not eat as little as possible, the important thing is a reasonable mix, a balanced diet, both to enjoy the pleasure of eating, to ensure adequate nutrition, but also does not increase the burden on the body, to maintain the ideal weight. 1, diabetic patients should not eat: cigarettes, honey, sugary yogurt, coffee, cola and other beverages, candy, meat and oil. As little as possible: thin rice, walnuts, melon seeds, peanuts, chocolate. 2, drinking alcohol should only be ceremonial: 3 taels of white wine, or 1 bottle of red wine, or 1 bottle of beer per week. 3, is not the staple food (steamed buns, rice, noodles) eat less the better, must ensure a certain amount of carbohydrate intake every day, so the total daily staple food should be about 4 taels to 6 taels. 4, meat and vegetables should be limited, try not to eat fatty meat, can moderate consumption of lean meat, fish, shrimp and other high-quality animal protein and soy milk, tofu and other vegetable protein, you can eat 1 egg and drink 1 cup of milk every day. 5, vegetables are not the more you eat the better, potatoes, yams, soy products, pumpkin, corn, cauliflower, etc. must be in moderation. Bok choy, spinach, celery and other green leafy vegetables rich in fiber, can be appropriate to eat more, cucumbers, tomatoes and other water-rich, can also be appropriate to eat more. 6, using coarse grains instead of refined staple foods can increase insulin sensitivity, but not reducing staple foods, or eating large amounts of coarse grains, pumpkin, etc. will also raise blood sugar, because they also contain starch. 7.If your blood sugar is not well controlled, please do not eat fruits. If the control is good, you can reduce part of the staple food premise, daily divided (do not eat all at once) a small amount of kiwi, grapefruit, pomegranate, watermelon, strawberries, pears, apples and other fruits, not more than 200 grams per day. 8, diabetic patients are suitable for eating fewer meals, the usual three meals to reduce the amount of each about 1/3, put two hours after breakfast, after the noon nap, before and after 10:00 p.m. for small additional meals. It is also very important not to change the amount of food and meal times, and not to change the interval between glucose-lowering medication and meals at will. Diabetes is a disorder of sugar utilization that leads to high blood sugar and hunger, but more diet will only lead to a vicious cycle. So diet control to maintain a mild hunger is a must. Only with proper diet control, while interrupting the chain of diabetes leading to high blood sugar with the synergistic effect of exercise and medication, so that all organs of the body can utilize blood sugar normally, can we embark on a virtuous cycle.
