What are some common misconceptions of people with diabetes?

I found that there are many sugar friends around, take it for granted to follow their own ideas, in fact, stepped into the misunderstanding, the following is my summary of some of the wrong ideas: 1, only control the amount of staple food, did not control the total amount of calories Control diet is to control the total amount of calories in the daily meal. Only control the staple food, do not control the total calories, blood sugar control will not be ideal, but also cause nutritional imbalance. Staple food intake is too low, the body decomposition of protein, fat thermogenesis, further causing three major metabolic disorders, and even produce ketoacidosis. Meat food and cooking oil intake is too much, will also cause the total calorie is too high. 2, only eat diluted rice, not eat dry rice Diluted rice absorbed quickly, but caused blood glucose rise too fast, so diabetic patients should be dry, mainly to absorb slow food. 3, the faster the better meal Diabetic patients should not eat too fast. Eating too fast, should not produce a sense of satiety, but instead cause the amount of food is too large. So chewing and swallowing slowly can make the meal produce a sense of satiety, eating less, but also can make the glucose concentration is not too centralized, postprandial blood glucose rise gently. 4, vegetable oil to eat more no harm: as we all know, animal oil contains saturated fatty acids, eat more harmful, but do not think that vegetable oil to eat more no matter, vegetable oil containing unsaturated fatty acids, calories are also very high, is the production of coronary heart disease, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, diabetes is an important cause of oxidation of vegetable oil produces peroxides and free radicals, damage to the cell membranes, easy to lead to vascular and neurological complications, but also may have a carcinogenic effect. 5, abstain from meat: Although animal oil contains saturated fatty acids, more harmful to eat, but do not eat a little can not be, animal food nutrition is plant food can not be replaced. Plant-based proteins (except beans) is not complete protein, lack of lysine, nutrition is not comprehensive. Animal food nutrients easily absorbed by the human body, such as heme iron than inorganic iron absorption, organic zinc, organic selenium, organic chromium are better than the absorption of inorganic elements. Not eating animal food will also cause vitamin B12 and other vitamin deficiencies. But eat more meat, less vegetarian equally unscientific. Eat more meat is bound to cause protein is too high, and then brought into the increase in animal fat, too much meat food, too much fat is exactly the drawbacks of the Western diet. Therefore, it is best to eat a balanced diet. 6, avoid sugar and not avoid salt Diabetic patients know that you can not eat sugar, but do not know to eat too much salt is equally harmful, more salt that is more sodium, more water, and high blood pressure, increase the burden on the kidneys, the general daily intake of salt should be 5-6 grams. 7, do not eat can not take medication Diabetic patients for some reason and can not eat meals, should stop using hypoglycemic drugs, in order to avoid causing hypoglycemia. In order not to eat or eat less medicine, and thus do not eat or eat less is wrong, long-term this will cause malnutrition. 8, less water polyuria is not more water in the body, but high blood sugar caused by less drinking water blood concentration prone to hypertonicity. Diabetic patients are not limited to drinking water, but to encourage more water, and do not drink less water in order to urinate less. 9, blood glucose control is satisfactory not to control the diet Not to control the diet, blood glucose will soon rise again, diabetic patients should always adhere to dietary therapy. 10, thin diabetic patients can try to eat more thin patients (less than 20% of standard body weight, under the control of blood glucose) can appropriately increase calorie intake, so that the weight increase to normal levels, but not as much as possible to eat, it is best to use the method of multiple meals per day, provided that the first control of blood glucose. 11, insulin injection patients can not control the diet Insulin dosage and usage should be determined on the basis of diet control and adjusted according to the blood glucose level. If patients injecting insulin don’t control their diet, it will increase the dosage of insulin and increase their weight, which will not only make it difficult to control blood sugar, but also bring more disadvantages. 12, with large oil and meat stir-fried vegetables, more vegetables is okay Vegetable heating process, water loss, oil into the cells, more vegetables is bound to increase the intake of fat, vegetables are not the more the better, to pay attention to a balanced diet. 13, hunger is difficult to endure must be hypoglycemic symptoms hunger itself is a symptom of diabetes. Patients should carefully check whether the intake is correct, in the exclusion of hypoglycemia, available cucumbers, tomatoes, can eat some high fiber-containing foods, and gradually reduce the calories, do not step up to the standard, the body should be allowed to have an adaptation process. 14, peanuts, walnuts, the most resistant to hunger, you can eat: resistant to hunger is high in fat, it is best to eat less or not eat. 15, pumpkin and pumpkin products can treat diabetes, so you can eat pumpkin itself also contains calories, eat more pumpkin blood sugar is sure to rise, eat more pumpkin to reduce staple food. 16, sugar-free food can be eaten casually sugar-free food is not containing simple sugar or sucrose, but the food is still the same as other foods containing sugar, must be arranged in the total calorie share of a day in a certain amount of calories, can not be eaten casually. 17, hypoglycemia should also be forced to endure hypoglycemia is very harmful, usually should pay attention to prevention, once it occurs must drink sugar water, eat sugar cubes, sweets in order to correct the state of hypoglycemia as soon as possible. 18, honey can just eat honey contains more glucose, should not be eaten, so diabetic patients with constipation can not use honey laxative. 19, wine can just drink drinking alcohol is very harmful, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach will cause hypoglycemia, so white wine should be prohibited, wine (dry red, dry white) should not exceed 50g. 20, fruits, vegetables are almost the same, you can eat fruits containing more sugar than vegetables, postprandial glucose more than the normal value, can not eat fruits, blood sugar control patients can eat in the middle of the two meals should eat fruits with a low sugar content.
