Diabetic patients with stable blood sugar control can eat a little bit of oligomaltose in small amounts.
Oligomaltose is refined from corn starch and commonly found in isomaltose, panose, isomaltotriose, etc. It is added to various food products. This kind of sugar is not suitable to be digested and absorbed compared with other sugars. Therefore, if a diabetic patient’s blood sugar is well controlled, eating some oligomaltose in small quantities will generally not cause huge fluctuations in blood sugar.
However, the intake of oligomaltose should be in moderation, because although oligomaltose is not high in calories and is difficult to be broken down by digestive enzymes, it is still a type of sugar, so if diabetic patients with poor glycemic control or a large amount of intake of oligomaltose at one time, it will increase blood glucose, which is not conducive to the control of the disease.
For diabetic patients, in addition to drug therapy, diet and exercise is also crucial, diet low salt, low fat and low sugar diet, choose foods with low glycemic index, avoid high sugar, greasy food, control daily energy; also moderate exercise, it is recommended to choose jogging, dancing, swimming and other aerobic exercise.
Diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment and may cause serious complications. It is recommended that patients receive early treatment, as well as rationalize their diet with appropriate exercise to avoid the development of complications. For more health knowledge of food, consult a nutritionist and eat scientifically and reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
