What is good for diabetics to eat has always been a topic of concern for diabetics and their families, a basic principle is: may quickly raise blood sugar, as well as high sugar content or starch, high fat content of food is to eat less, they are easily converted into glucose. So what is good for diabetics to eat? Is it good to promote the lowering of blood sugar? Not really. After the diagnosis of diabetes, generally begin to take drugs to lower blood sugar, if it is eaten metformin drugs, because this drug will affect the absorption of vitamin B12, so patients who eat this drug more vitamin B12 should be supplemented, in addition is to eat Bactrim patients, because this drug is delayed glucose absorption in the intestinal tract, therefore, patients who eat this drug can not just eat carbohydrates ( Generally speaking, if you eat 5 taels at a meal, 1 tael should be protein; for those who take sulfonylureas, this drug mainly stimulates insulin secretion and increases the burden on the pancreas, so it is recommended to change the drug. Patients who use insulin are advised to carry a few capsules of sugar with them to prevent hypoglycemia. Regardless of the stage of diabetes, in view of the fact that diabetes and the complications caused by diabetes are closely related to “oxidative stress”, it is advisable to eat more foods with strong antioxidant power. For example, foods that are high in vitamin E and vitamin C are beneficial. In principle, the stronger the antioxidant effect, the better. Diabetic recipes have three appropriate 1, grains and cereals, such as oat noodles, buckwheat noodles, oat noodles, cornmeal and other staple foods rich in vitamin B, a variety of trace elements and dietary fiber, long-term consumption can reduce blood sugar, blood lipids; 2, beans and soy products, soy foods rich in protein, inorganic salts and vitamins, and soybean oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, can reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides; 3, bitter melon, onions, mushrooms , grapefruit, pumpkin can reduce blood sugar, is the most ideal food for diabetics, such as long-term use of some plant active selenium, the effect of lowering blood sugar and preventing complications will be better. Diabetic patients should also be alert to the “three inappropriate” daily diet should not eat a variety of sugar, preserves, canned fruit, soft drinks, fruit juice, jam, ice cream, sweet cookies, sweet bread and sugar pastries, etc., because these foods contain high sugar, easy to consume high blood sugar; should not eat foods containing high cholesterol and animal fat, such as animal brain, liver, heart, lung, waist, egg yolk, fat. These foods are easy to raise blood lipids and prone to atherosclerosis; not suitable for drinking alcohol, alcohol can make blood sugar fluctuations, when drinking a lot of alcohol on an empty stomach, serious hypoglycemia can occur, and drunkenness can often cover up the performance of hypoglycemia, not easy to find, very dangerous. Diabetic sweets can not be dipped, can take long-term propolis, because propolis does not contain sugar, just a little fishy taste; aspartame can be used to increase the sweet taste. The first main principle of diabetic diet is to control the diet so as to achieve better results. Low sugar actually means eating less or no foods that tend to cause blood sugar to rise. For example, foods with added sugar, such as candy, soda, cola, preserves, and honey, sugar-sweetened beverages, and a variety of Chinese and Western desserts should be eaten sparingly; for those with a sweet tooth, it is recommended that sugar substitutes such as saccharin or aspartame be used to flavor the food. In addition, starchy foods should be limited, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, corn, rhizome, as well as burritos, siu mai, turnip cakes, etc.; especially various New Year’s foods, such as dumplings, moon cakes, rice cakes, it is especially necessary for diabetics to “avoid”. The second main principle of diabetic diet is to eat less sweet, salty, oily food, preferably not: because obesity is the enemy of diabetes, and the chances of cardiovascular disease are higher in diabetics than in the general population, it is very important to control the intake of fats and oils. In addition to eating less fried, deep-fried, crispy and high-fat foods, such as fatty meat, pork rinds, pine nuts, walnuts, peanuts, etc.; at the same time, we must abstain from meat, reduce the intake of animal fat, and switch to vegetable oil to cook food. In addition, some foods with high cholesterol content, such as animal offal, egg yolk, seafood, etc., should also be eaten less. As for cooking, you should try to use light and less oily ways, such as stewing, baking, brining, braising, steaming, boiling, and cold cooking.
