What to look for in a diabetic diet

The diet of diabetic patients should pay attention to the control of total calorie intake, good distribution of nutrients and reasonable meal allocation. 1. Controlling the total calorie intake: the total daily calorie intake should be formulated according to the patient’s age, height, weight, labor intensity and other factors. 2. Good distribution of nutrients: the supply of carbohydrates in the diet should account for 50%~60% of the total calories, protein intake should account for 15%~20% of the total calories, and fat should account for 25%~30% of the total calories. 3. Reasonable meal allocation: three meals a day should be allocated for each 1/3 or 1/5, 2/5, 2/5. Apart from that, high sugar and high fat foods, such as cake, milk tea, chocolate, fatty meat, etc., should be avoided in daily life. Patients diagnosed with diabetes should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and maintain a healthy diet to help control blood sugar.
