”Eat like an emperor in the morning, eat like a pauper at noon, eat like a beggar at night” is a folk health maxim. But for diabetic patients, how to eat breakfast like the emperor is a very tangled thing. In order to control blood sugar, most diabetic patients are strictly in accordance with the “beggar” standard requirements of their three meals. In fact, this is not the case, such as a randomized controlled trial published in the journal “obesity”, to bring new inspiration to the choice of breakfast for people with diabetes. In a 3-month trial of an isocaloric diet intervention, a rich breakfast was shown to be more helpful in controlling hunger and blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. So, what should be the breakfast choice for people with diabetes? A healthy breakfast mix for people with diabetes should be high in fiber, low in calories, high in protein and low in fat. A protein-rich breakfast can make you carry hunger better, while blood sugar fluctuations are also smaller. Therefore, sugar lovers should pay attention to breakfast, but also eat healthy. According to the “Chinese Diabetes Nutrition Therapy Guidelines”, we have made the following breakfast recipes for one week: It is not enough to choose the right breakfast, but it is more beneficial to blood sugar control to pay attention to some small details during the meal. Breakfast should not be too greasy It is not advisable to choose fried chicken legs, fried eggs and other overly greasy food, which is not only detrimental to digestion and absorption, but also can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar. Changing the order of meals helps post-meal blood sugar control Japanese nutrition experts found that eating vegetables first and then eating the main food can slow down the absorption rate of carbohydrates in the main food, thus delaying the rise of blood sugar after meals. If you eat foods with high protein and fat content first and then eat the main meal, you can delay gastric emptying, increase the feeling of satiety and reduce blood sugar fluctuations. For diabetic patients, chewing slowly not only meets the requirements of digestive physiology, but also helps diabetic patients to control the amount of meals, increase the feeling of satiety and stabilize postprandial blood sugar. In conclusion, choosing the right kind of breakfast, paying attention to the right combination and reasonable meal matters, diabetic patients can eat like an “emperor” for breakfast.
