The contraindicated diet of diabetes 1, high sugar diet, such as white sugar, brown sugar, icing sugar, glucose, maltose, honey and other sweet foods are not suitable for consumption, to avoid a rapid rise in blood sugar, endangering the health of diabetics. 3, avoid drinking alcohol, long-term drinking is not good for the liver, easy to cause the rise of serum triglycerides, and a few patients taking sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs, drinking alcohol is prone to heartburn, shortness of breath, red cheeks and other reactions. 4.

Diabetic diet myths Myth 1: You can eat more food if it is not sweet The sweetness of food is because it contains glucose, fructose, sucrose and other monosaccharides or disaccharides, and the intake of these sugars can cause blood sugar to rise. Some polysaccharide foods such as starch, although not sweet, will be broken down into glucose after digestion, which will also lead to an increase in blood sugar. Therefore, in regulating the diet, not only sweet foods with high sugar content should be restricted, but also foods that are not sweet such as rice, steamed buns and cookies should be restricted to control the total amount of carbohydrates, not just sweet foods. In other words, as long as you ensure a reasonable total carbohydrate intake, sweets can also eat a little in moderation. Myth 2: Only control the main food, side food can eat more Side food such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. Although the sugar content is not high, but rich in protein and fat, in the body can be converted into glucose, this process is particularly active for diabetic patients, so more food will also raise blood sugar. Myth 3: Coarse grains contain less sugar, eat more harmless Coarse grains contain more dietary fiber, although dietary fiber has lower sugar, lower fat, laxative effect, beneficial to the body, but eat more may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal, and affect the absorption of nutrients, long-term will cause malnutrition, and not good for the body. Myth 4: Soy products can be eaten Soy products are not high in sugar and calories, where the soy isoflavones have a certain role in blood sugar control, but for some patients, the onset of diabetes is usually combined with nephropathy, and the intake of large amounts of protein will bring a great burden on the kidneys, and even cause irreversible damage. Therefore, diabetic nephropathy patients can not blindly eat more soy products, so as not to aggravate the disease. Myth 5: Pumpkin can lower sugar The pumpkin polysaccharide contained in pumpkin has a good effect on the control of blood sugar, but pumpkin also contains a lot of sugar substances, if eaten too much will make the post-prandial blood sugar rise rapidly. Therefore, it is best for diabetic patients to eat a little pumpkin as a vegetable, rather than eating large amounts at will. Myth 6: Diabetics have no relationship with fruits Fruits contain many trace elements, such as chromium and manganese, which are very helpful to improve insulin activity in the body. Under the premise of controlling the total carbohydrate intake, patients can help reduce the burden on the pancreas if they choose fruits with lower carbohydrate content as an additional meal.
