The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion and gathering of friends with the full moon, moon worship, mooncakes, laurel viewing and drinking laurel wine. However, for sugar lovers, every important festival faces a test. The gathering of family and friends, the sumptuous dinner table, the numerous snacks and fruits, the moon cakes tasted during the moon viewing and the wine drunk during the festival, all may lead to loss of control of diet and change of rhythm of life, which may aggravate the metabolic disorder of diabetes. Diabetic patients should pay more attention to their blood glucose and other metabolic indicators, and eat scientifically and reasonably to ensure a good state of health. Spend a healthy, happy and peaceful holiday. 1, control the total calorie, the main food and side dishes balanced intake The holiday season is full of friends and relatives gathering, the dishes are bound to be abundant, wine is not necessary. In the face of rich dishes, you should choose light, low salt, less oil, low purine food. Avoid large fish and meat, excessive frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, back to the pot, barbecue. Choose more vegetarian and green vegetables. Eat vegetables first and then eat other foods. Drain the soup moderately when you clip the vegetables, and if necessary, wash them with warm boiled water before eating. Try not to eat fried food, or fried food peeled before eating, as for the fatty meat, duck skin, chicken skin, etc. as high as possible not to eat. Do not add sugar when cooking, sugar and vinegar, honey sauce type dishes should be avoided. Pay attention to the appropriate ratio of main and side dishes to maintain a nutritional balance. 2, maintain a variety of diet, meat and vegetables, coarse and fine match “love to eat people love life”, love to eat but also will eat, will be healthy to eat. Variety, meat and vegetables, a full range of food can stimulate the appetite, appetite. But when eating to maintain a nutritional balance, including carbohydrates (staples, cereals, potatoes, fruits, etc.) accounted for 50-55% of the total calories, fat (animal oils, vegetable oils, fats, animal offal, skin, fatty meat, nuts, etc.) accounted for 20-30%, protein (livestock and poultry lean meat, dairy products, vegetable protein, etc.) accounted for 15-20%. The production of fish and meat is best to steamed, eating fish than other meat to be more beneficial. Also eat more food containing vitamins and fiber. It is not advisable to consume food that is too cold, too hot, too spicy. To eat appropriate coarse grains and coarse fiber food, so that coarse grains, fine grains with, to help digestion. 3, pay attention to the work and rest time, avoid day and night reversal During the holidays, friends get together, in order to enjoy themselves, often play until late at night, and sometimes even all night long, which will affect the body’s “biological clock” rule, easy to make blood sugar fluctuations increase. This situation is very unfavorable to diabetic patients, such as really can not avoid this situation, should be closely monitored blood sugar, moderate supplementation of food containing a small amount of calories as a midnight snack, not only to avoid hypoglycemia and do not eat too much to affect blood sugar and hinder sleep. Do not “hungry, full” lifestyle, try to avoid staying up late, maintain adequate sleep, maintain a good mood, accompanied by hypertension and heart disease diabetes patients to avoid large mood swings, to regularly measure blood glucose blood pressure, adjust the dosage of hypoglycemic antihypertensive drugs, and prepare emergency drugs for heart disease. 4, quit smoking and limit alcohol, tea and wine together Diabetic patients should quit smoking, limit alcohol, and in many cases should avoid drinking alcohol. If you do not have a drinking taboo, if you think that such a festival without wine, you can drink with friends and relatives, to no more than 2 alcohol units is appropriate (1 alcohol unit is 10 grams of pure alcohol, assuming you are drinking 40 degrees of white wine, you should not exceed 50ml, that is, should not exceed 1 tael), do not drink freely, a drunkenness, which can easily lead to blood sugar fluctuations, and even serious hypoglycemia occurred. And smoking is harmful to people’s health, especially for diabetics, so you should quit smoking. The key question at the end: can I eat mooncakes? The answer is yes, you can eat them. There are no foods that diabetics absolutely cannot eat, so diabetics can eat mooncakes with their family and friends. However, the following points should be noted: 1. You should not eat mooncakes that have been stored for too long. 2. Taste them lightly. Mooncakes contain a lot of fats and sugars, and excessive consumption can lead to an increase in blood sugar and may affect appetite, causing stomach bloating and indigestion. 3, do not believe too much in the business propaganda, although some moon cakes are labeled as sugar-free, “sugar-free moon cakes”, but there may be no cane sugar, may be added to the fructose. Although there is no sucrose or fructose, the starch in the mooncake can be rapidly converted into glucose, leading to a rise in blood sugar and aggravating diabetes. We have admitted patients in the past who ate sugar-free mooncakes that led to a rapid rise in blood sugar and were admitted to the hospital in an emergency during the holiday season. 4. Be sure to consider that the sucrose or carbohydrates in mooncakes have already replaced some of the calories of staple foods, and you should eat less of other staple foods after eating mooncakes to ensure that the total calories in your diet are not exceeded. Finally, I wish all patients a happy holiday!
