There are so many diabetic patients that we meet, and often people ask what they can’t eat. There are so many things that can be eaten in the world that no one can probably keep track of them if they are listed one by one, but the patient probably hopes that the doctor will be specific enough to say what can and cannot be eaten. In fact, you can find many popular articles about diabetic diet on the Internet, and many people hold them as treasures and share them with each other, but are these articles reliable? As a physician, it is impossible to verify everything, but there are always clinical opportunities to examine the authenticity of those articles. We often adjust blood glucose for patients in the surgery department, some patients’ blood glucose is always badly adjusted, and after careful inquiry, we found that indeed diet has a great influence on blood glucose, and we can say for sure that those articles on the Internet are not very reliable. For example, many patients say that grapefruit does not raise blood sugar, tomatoes diabetics can also eat, but we found that these things will significantly raise blood sugar, really do not raise blood sugar food, more reliable is the cucumber, but diabetics can not eat anything? The answer to this question is very difficult, because the fun of life is very important, if nothing can be eaten, then life is too monotonous, but the control of diet in the control of diabetes blood sugar is the most important, I often say to patients, if the diet is not controlled, then the control of blood sugar is sure to fail. From my personal opinion, the diet of diabetic patients must find a balance between the fun of life and the control of blood glucose. The principles of diabetes are actually no different from the principles of diet in life, which are colorful, meat and vegetables, coarse and fine, and moderate control. The amount of diabetes diet must be combined with weight and nutritional status, such as fat, we must control the diet, so that the weight down, if relatively thin, the diet to ensure that the weight can be regained some, never malnutrition. Some things make blood sugar rise faster, but for a shorter period of time, such as some fruits, then it is best to eat some between meals, so as not to make blood sugar fluctuations too much, but can not eat often. There are some foods that make blood sugar rise high and last long, such as animal offal, subcutaneous fat and fried food, so try not to eat them. In addition, it is best to adjust the drug under the type of meal, for example, may be under the restaurant, then these foods in the fat class is more, then the type and dose of hypoglycemic drugs should be appropriate according to the amount of food to increase or change, such as adding some drugs to inhibit the absorption of fat, it is still good for the body. If it is ready to do surgery, then the diet should be strictly controlled, after all, surgery may be more important, this time can not emphasize too much on the fun of life, so the diet at the time of surgery and the usual diet is not quite the same!
