1, why the same amount of calories, but drink porridge blood sugar is high? When we eat, food in the digestive system through a series of digestive processes to be absorbed by the body, first through the mouth chewing, stomach peristalsis grinding, gastric acid and gastric digestive enzymes digestion, to the intestinal cavity after the role of pancreatic enzymes and other digestive enzymes, the food will be broken down into small molecules that can be absorbed by the body, and then through the intestinal wall blood vessels into the body’s circulatory system transported to the whole body by the body. In fact, in order to make food into small molecules that can be absorbed by the body, this process has already begun before we eat, because the process of heating and cooking food, from raw food to cooked food, its chemical structure from a solid to loose, to facilitate human digestion and absorption. Rice contains mainly starch, which is absorbed in the intestinal cavity mainly in the form of glucose after a series of digestive processes. And after cooking rice into porridge, due to its longer heating time, its starch has been dissolved in the form of smaller molecules in the thin porridge, thus shortening the body’s digestion process, glucose is quickly absorbed, and thus the postprandial blood sugar will rise quickly, if you eat the same amount of rice, because the digestion process is slower than when drinking porridge, glucose is absorbed more slowly, and the postprandial blood sugar rise is less obvious. 2.Can diabetic patients eat fruits? Some people mistakenly believe that diabetic patients should not eat fruit, but in fact, fruit contains many vitamins and fiber, which can not only supplement the essential vitamins, but also stimulate the intestinal tract, increase intestinal peristalsis, and help keep the bowel movement smooth. Fruits also contain more pectin, which has the effect of delaying the absorption of glucose, so a reasonable intake of fruit is beneficial to diabetes. However, many fruits contain more sugar, and a large amount of fruits with high sugar content can cause blood sugar to rise, so diabetic patients should grasp the following points when choosing fruits to eat. One of the main points: the “conditions” of eating fruit For patients with good blood sugar control, i.e. fasting blood sugar below 140mg/dl, 2 hours after meal blood sugar below 180mg/dl, glycosylated hemoglobin below 7.5%, and blood sugar fluctuations are not too big, this meets the prerequisites for eating fruit. If the blood sugar level is still very high, you can’t eat fruits temporarily, you have to wait until the blood sugar control is satisfactory and then start eating fruits. Diabetic patients must eat fruits according to the method of food calorie exchange, minus the corresponding calorie staple food, in order to keep the total calories unchanged. For example, the calories of 4 taels of apples are equivalent to half a tael of rice. The sugar content of watermelon, orange, pear, apple, kiwi, etc. is low, while persimmon, banana, fresh lychee, red dates, etc. have higher sugar content. To choose low sugar content of melons and fruits (such as leeks, zucchini, winter squash, pumpkin, bok choy, green pepper, eggplant, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, cabbage, rape, yam, winter melon, bitter melon, etc.), eat more vegetables can also increase the intake of vitamins and dietary fiber to achieve the same purpose. Point four: eat fruit “timing” As for the main meal to eat fruit, or in the middle of two meals will be fruit as a meal, according to the specific circumstances of diabetic patients to determine, if the usual blood glucose level to meal glucose is high, fasting blood glucose is not very high, the fruit as two meals in the middle of the meal to eat more appropriate ( If fasting blood sugar is high, fruit should be eaten at the main meal. By detecting the changes of fasting and 2 hours after meal blood sugar when eating fruits and not eating fruits, we can find out the influence of the type and quantity of fruits on our blood sugar, and achieve the need of reasonable fruit supplementation.
