Can diabetes be cured? This is a common concern for diabetics. According to the current state of medical science, there is no cure for diabetes. However, diabetes is not an incurable disease, and through comprehensive treatment, patients can lead a normal life. Since diabetes cannot be completely cured, what can we do to reduce the harm of diabetes and restore the normal blood sugar level? I. Can diabetes be cured? Diabetes is caused by the damage of pancreatic islet cells and the malfunction of insulin secretion, resulting in the increase of blood sugar. Once the pancreatic islet cells are damaged, it is difficult or even impossible to repair them, and if the pancreatic islets are severely damaged, they cannot secrete insulin at all and can only rely on external injections to carry out the normal circulation of the body. Numerous clinical experiences and studies have confirmed that there are no drugs and scientific means to completely cure diabetes. Second, how to treat diabetes? (a) Dietary therapy: 1. Controlling total caloric energy is the primary principle of diabetic diet therapy. The caloric intake can maintain normal weight or slightly below the ideal weight is appropriate. Obese people must reduce caloric intake, lean people can increase calories to increase body weight. Diabetic diet therapy should be adjusted and flexible according to the condition at any time. For diabetic patients treated with insulin, care should be taken to add meals at 9 to 10 am, 3 to 4 pm or before bedtime as appropriate to prevent hypoglycemia. Attention should also be paid to appropriate increase of main meals or additional meals when physical work or activities are more. 2.Supply appropriate amount of carbohydrates. At present, it is advocated that carbohydrates should not be controlled too strictly, and sugar should account for about 60% of the total caloric energy, and the daily intake can be 250 grams to 300 grams, and obesity should be 150 grams to 200 grams. Cereals are the main source of caloric energy in daily life, supplying about 38 grams of carbohydrates per 50 grams of rice or white flour. Other foods, such as milk, beans, vegetables and fruits also contain a certain amount of carbohydrates. Avena sativa, oatmeal, buckwheat noodles, corn crumbs, mung beans, kelp, etc. all have the function of lowering blood sugar. 3.Ensure sufficient protein. The supply of protein in the diet of diabetic patients should be sufficient. Some patients are afraid to eat more protein and increase the burden on the kidneys. When the kidney function is normal, diabetic dietary protein should be similar to normal people. When combined with kidney disease, the amount of protein in the daily diet should be reasonably arranged under the guidance of a nutrition doctor. Milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, shrimp and soy products are rich in protein. High-quality protein should be consumed appropriately, and it is currently advocated that protein should account for 10%-20% of total caloric energy. Cereals contain plant protein, if you eat 300 grams of cereals a day, you can consume 20 grams to 30 grams of protein, accounting for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the whole day’s protein. plant protein has a lower physiological value than animal protein, so plant protein should also be properly controlled in the diet. 4.Supplement sufficient dietary fiber. Epidemiological investigation proposes that dietary fiber can reduce fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar and improve glucose tolerance. The mechanism may be that dietary fiber is absorbent and can change the transmission time of food in the gastrointestinal tract, so it is advocated that the amount of dietary fiber should be increased in the diabetic diet. Some vegetables, bran, beans and whole grains should be included in the diet. Soluble fiber can increase insulin sensitivity, which can reduce the sharp rise in blood sugar after meals, and thus the body only needs to secrete less insulin to maintain metabolism. Over time, soluble fiber reduces circulating insulin levels, reducing the need for insulin in people with diabetes.
