In layman's terms, there are still quite a few dietary taboos for sugar lovers. Without mastering the premise, it feels like eating a meal, everywhere is restricted. But once you get the hang of it, you're a fish out of water, and eating is easy and enjoyable!

This requires more study and implementation on your own!

These are examples of diabetic recipes (not quantities, meals and staple amounts are adjusted according to work and rest and blood sugar).

The general principle is that people with high blood sugar should control the total calories, as well as the intake of carbohydrate calories and fine foods, and also make a reasonable distribution of meals and food quantities, and the variety of food types should also be complete!

Also, because it involves postprandial glycemic control, as well as avoiding hypoglycemia, the diet has to be combined with hypoglycemic medication, exercise, and glycemic performance.

The specific dietary arrangement for diabetic patients is to prioritize the consumption of large amounts of low-calorie vegetables, moderate amounts of coarse and mixed grain staples, lean meat, fish and shrimp, milk, eggs and soy products, and a small amount of fruits at each meal. You can't be too full or hungry. You can have four or five meals a day.

Depending on the individual's height, weight, physical activity, and health status, you can consume more than 500 grams of vegetables, 100-300 grams of fruits, 50-150 grams of lean meat, fish, and shrimp, 200-400 grams of milk, 100 grams of tofu, 1-2 eggs, and 150-300 grams of staple food per day (depending on the physical activity and standard weight).

The staple food, which is the biggest part of the change.

Variety of staple food, not suitable for refined rice and refined noodles and daily rice and noodle products, coarse grains are the optimal choice, can be mixed with refined rice and refined noodles to make mixed grain rice, two rice, eight treasures of rice, mixed grain noodle, mixed grain buns and so on.

The maximum intake of staple foods is under the precursor of multiple meals a day to ensure that postprandial blood glucose is not exceeded.

Staple food, and can not not eat, otherwise one is not satiety, easy to hunger; secondly, for a long time, easy to trigger the body "ketoacidosis".

Diabetic patients, meals should be regular, quantitative, in the case of daily activities remain unchanged, the number of main and side dishes in the diet should be basically fixed, evenly distributed, to avoid blood glucose fluctuations due to random increase or decrease.

Patients are advised to do physical exercise 1-2 hours after meals, and should not fast. On weekdays, if there is a big change in the intensity of labor, such as when participating in activities such as playing ball games, swimming, climbing mountains, etc., a small amount of food should also be added to prevent hypoglycemia. In the case of irregular life and irregular meals (such as business trips, travel, etc.), it is easy to cause fluctuations in blood glucose, so it is necessary to pay attention to carry some convenient food, such as fruits, salty cookies, candies, etc.; when you go out to eat and attend banquets, you should also choose food in accordance with the usual prescribed quantities, and you should not overeat or starve.

Foods to limit for those with insulin resistance:

1. Refined sugars. Such as white sugar, brown sugar, glucose, sweets, candies, pastries, jams, preserves, ice cream, sweet drinks, etc. as far as possible not to use.

2. Multi-fat. Avoid lard, butter, suet, cream, etc., which are rich in saturated fatty acids, and can be replaced by vegetable oil. Peanuts, walnuts, melon seeds, doughnuts, fried eggs, etc., obese patients should not be consumed in excess. Heart, liver, waist, brain, fish roe and other animal offal as far as possible not to use

3. Starchy fruits and vegetables. Such as potatoes, yams, taro, lotus root, garlic cloves, bananas, etc., when consumed in large quantities, you need to reduce the amount of staple food accordingly.

4. Fruits. Fruits contain glucose, fructose, sucrose, pectin, etc., can be carefully selected according to personal circumstances, 50-100 grams per time, watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, pears, oranges, peaches, apples, etc. Containing quite a lot of water, it is recommended to consume between meals, after exercise, when hungry, before going to bed.

5. Thickening and paste. Thickened soups, battered dishes and cooked porridge are not suitable.

I hope that people with high blood sugar, learn and master more sugar-lowering diet tips!

Thanks for the invite.

In fact, diabetic friends as long as you make sure to eat when the blood sugar is stable, there is no certain food that can not be eaten, including potatoes, fruits, and even a small amount of snacks are no problem. Unlike China's so strict regulations, in foreign countries, diabetic recipes can even see some pastries and desserts, just a small amount, not to cause excessive fluctuations in blood glucose, especially type 2 diabetic friends, the usual diet is not too strict rules, if the blood glucose is stable, you can eat a moderate amount of fruits, potatoes, and even a small amount of desserts; type 1 diabetic friends need to be more attentive, due to the fact that your body's Pancreatic islets almost no secretion, if you really want to eat sweets, so be sure to increase the amount of medication or insulin dose under medical advice, and then eat sweeter some things. Therefore, even if you have diabetes, you should keep your mind, usually keep your blood sugar in a relatively stable state, in fact, there is no big difference with ordinary people.

That said, there is no such thing as a "no-no", but there are foods that are "good to eat" and "not good to eat". For example, added too much glucose, sucrose food, if the direct intake of large amounts of sugar, it is best to avoid this situation, eat directly or will make blood sugar fluctuations. In addition, you can usually eat less food that is more finely processed, these foods are digested and absorbed quickly, send one is also easy to cause blood sugar to rise faster. Diabetic friends of the staple food can increase the proportion of coarse grains, mixed beans, which can effectively increase the intake of dietary fiber, supplement B vitamins, increase food diversity, in this case can effectively smooth the fluctuation of blood sugar.

Diabetic friends had better quit alcohol and smoking, tobacco and alcohol can easily cause fluctuations in blood sugar, causing other chronic diseases, especially alcohol, in fact, belongs to the higher calorie food, for diabetes, alcohol will also affect the effectiveness of the medicine, and more so that the blood sugar ups and downs.

There is a saying that diabetics drink congee as if they were drinking sugar water, meaning that congee rises in sugar very quickly, so diabetics should not drink congee.

So why is porridge so glycemic? Let's take a look at the comparison between rice and rice porridge. The same weight of rice is made into porridge and rice, porridge is digested and absorbed significantly faster than rice, so the blood sugar effect of porridge is more significant. Because the water content of rice porridge and rice is different, porridge is easily digested and absorbed into the small intestine.

In the cooking process, there is also a concept of "starch pasting". That is, starch granules in the role of water and heat, there are different degrees of expansion, some starch granules and even rupture and decomposition of small, become very easy to digest. And the longer the heating time, the more complete this effect, so that the food and digestive juices in contact with a wider range of more easily absorbed, the glycemic index will be higher.

Of course, for diabetics, there is nothing that can never be eaten, but there are also things that are relatively inappropriate to eat. Congee is just not suitable to eat, but under the premise of better blood sugar control, it can still be eaten in moderation.

A few tips on porridge for diabetics:

1. Try not to drink congee when your blood sugar is not well controlled.

2. It is better not to drink white porridge. After drinking white porridge, blood sugar will rise rapidly, because white porridge is digested quickly, which will quickly cause insulin reaction, blood sugar level will fall quickly again, and people will have a sense of hunger, which is extremely unfavorable to the control of blood sugar.

3. Recommended to drink coarse mixed grain porridge. To green beans, red beans, black beans and other miscellaneous legumes, and oats, buckwheat, quinoa, brown rice, black rice and other coarse grains as the main, supplemented by rice miscellaneous beans and grains porridge, more suitable for diabetic patients than simple white rice porridge. Because this porridge has a strong sense of satiety, which is conducive to controlling hunger and stabilizing postprandial blood sugar.

4. Cooking time should not be too long. The longer the cooking time, the higher the glycemic index, and should not be overcooked, in the case of ensuring that cooked, try to maintain the integrity of the beans and rice grains. Studies have shown that the better the integrity of the beans and rice grains, the slower the digestion and the slower the rise in blood sugar. Therefore, diabetics can put in the porridge in batches according to the different ingredients, and the ingredients that are not resistant to cooking can be put in last, avoiding too long or too rotten cooking, and trying to keep the integrity of the food particles as much as possible.

5. The speed of drinking porridge should not be too fast. Slow down the speed of porridge, the rate of digestion of porridge per unit of time will also become slower, the rise in blood sugar will naturally be slow. Diabetic patients should drink congee in small sips, like tea and wine, is the most sugar-controlled way.

6. Eat some vegetables in moderation before drinking porridge. Vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, help to enhance the sense of satiety, can control the amount of porridge consumption, to avoid excessive calorie intake, but also a way to reduce postprandial blood sugar.

Sugar man health network, a temperature control of sugar platform, welcome to pay attention to the questions and answers.

Diabetic patients, if the blood sugar control is not good, not only has led to acute complications, causing diabetic ketoacidosis, causing the risk of coma and death; but also lead to chronic complications, cardiovascular and cerebral vascular disease, kidney disease, vision loss and blindness, diabetic foot amputation risk.

These complications can only be prevented by good blood sugar control, which is based on regular hypoglycemic drugs on the one hand, and diabetic diet on the other.

So what are the dietary considerations for diabetics?

First, is it that the fruit can't be eaten?

Most fruits are sweet, diabetic friends are not able to eat sweet fruits? Of course it is not so absolute, diabetic people, can eat fruit, but will eat, if taken with meals, will significantly increase blood sugar; diabetic people eat fruit must be between meals, not with meals, this is safer, not much effect on blood sugar.

You should also be able to choose fruits, and diabetics should try to choose low GI fruits! (GI > 70: high GI food; 55 < GI < 70: medium GI food; GI < 55: low GI food)

Of course even low GI fruit can not eat more, even if the high GI fruit can eat, but more to strictly limit the amount. So diabetics choose fruits, on the one hand, to choose a small impact on blood sugar, on the one hand, to control the amount.

Second, diabetics try to eat less food

Processed foods that are high in oil, sugar and salt, such as pastries, cookies, cereals, ham sausages, vermicelli, rice noodles and so on, are high in carbohydrates, pickled fish, salted meat, pickles and so on, french fries, fries, doughnuts, sesame balls and other fried foods.

Rice porridge, eight-treasure congee, etc.; noodle soup, wonton soup, chicken soup, beef soup, rib soup, boiled soup; vegetables: bean dishes, beans, peas, fava beans, potatoes, yams, lotus root, etc.

Sugar-sweetened beverages, sugary bottled drinks, milk teas, etc., contain a lot of fructose and energy, which can cause blood sugar to rise.

Third, diabetic diets also need attention:

In addition to pay attention to the ingredients, cooking as simple as possible processing, eat in order to drink clear soup, then eat vegetables, staple food, meat eat slowly . Try to eat at regular intervals, not the less you eat, the better for your blood sugar, try to quantitatively so that blood sugar fluctuations are small. Others believe that eating more food can normalize blood sugar by increasing the dose of oral hypoglycemic drugs, which is not true, or to emphasize regular meals; even if the blood sugar control is ideal, it is not recommended to eat unhealthy snacks, such as beverages, deep-fried, puffed up, high-sugar, high-salt and other foods.

Fourth, diabetic friends can focus on the following diet

Roughage miscellaneous grains belong to whole grains, rich in nutrients and dietary fiber, in the daily staple food, gradually control fine grains, appropriate increase a little roughage miscellaneous grains; vegetables, especially green vegetables not only contain a lot of vitamins, there is dietary fiber, try to have a meal; meat to fish, shrimp, skinless chicken and duck meat, etc., is a source of high-quality protein.

Finally, it is also important to remember that monitoring your blood sugar is important, and even if you do all of the above, you need to measure your blood sugar regularly and go to the hospital for regular blood tests for glycated hemoglobin.

In short, diabetic patients, did not say absolutely can not eat food, on the one hand, we must choose food scientifically, on the one hand, pay attention to simple cooking, on the one hand, pay attention to regular quantitative, on the one hand, pay attention to monitoring blood glucose.

1. Peanuts and melon seeds do not eat Peanuts and melon seeds is a high-calorie, high-fat food, such as peanuts, melon seeds and walnuts, containing calories than the same weight of pork is also a few times higher, a large number of consumption is certainly not conducive to weight maintenance and blood lipid control, indirectly affecting the control of blood glucose and blood pressure.

2. Desserts should be avoided Desserts basically do not touch, rice can not eat enough, fruit can not eat more. Prohibit eating sweets and many kinds of fruit, because glucose, sucrose, digestion and absorption of fast, after eating will make the blood sugar rise; also eat less carbohydrate content of food, such as white potatoes, potatoes, lotus root, etc.; it is best not to drink alcohol.

3. Never ban alcohol The nature of alcohol and its effect on glucose metabolism Drinking alcohol is a hobby for some people. A significant proportion of diabetic patients have the habit of drinking alcohol, which has a certain impact on the control of diabetes and the occurrence and development of complications. Therefore, people with diabetes are advised not to drink alcohol, and if they do want to drink, they should only drink small amounts of beer and fruit wines with low alcohol concentration, and avoid drinking on an empty stomach. It is worth reminding that people with severe diabetes combined with liver and gallbladder disease, especially those who are using insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs, must strictly prohibit the consumption of alcohol.

4. Sugar-containing food absolutely do not touch mainly refers to food containing a large number of simple sugar (such as glucose, sucrose), because it contains a large amount of sugar, which directly affects blood sugar and is very unfavorable to the condition. For example, white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, glucose, maltose, honey, chocolate, milk sugar, fruit sugar, candied fruit, canned fruit, soft drinks, various fruit juices, sweet drinks, ice cream, sweet cookies, cakes, jams, sweet breads, and a variety of pastries made of sugar.

5. High-fat food should be moderate to stop high-fat food and high cholesterol food. Diabetic patients are prone to hyperlipidemia, which is the basis for many chronic complications, so cholesterol intake must be strictly limited. Foods with high cholesterol content include animal oil, butter, cream, fatty meat, animal offal and brain marrow, egg yolks, loose eggs and so on.

6. fried food to eat less fried, fried and crispy food, as well as pork rinds, chicken skin, nuts (such as: peanuts, melon seeds, cashews, pine nuts, walnuts, etc.) and other foods containing high fat.

7. too heavy taste of food do not eat Diabetic diet as bland as possible not too salty, avoid eating processed or preserved food, cooking food to take stew, grilled, roasted, steamed, boiled, cold and so on, to avoid thickening, sweet and sour, honey sauce, eggplant juice, vinegar and other cooking methods.

Diabetes is an endocrine disease, due to their own insulin can no longer be secreted or secretion / work with obstacles, resulting in the body's sugar can not be transported to the cells to be utilized, causing high levels of glucose in the blood, so diabetic patients must not be directly eaten glucose, sucrose and other foods that contain sugar, or else it will result in high fluctuations in blood glucose, blood glucose disorders, and the inability to regulate and control the situation.

Many friends think that as long as you do not touch "sugar" on the line, but they eat carbohydrates, starch content of food, in fact, carbohydrates and starch is the final decomposition product of glucose, eat more of them and eat more sugar is no different. So diabetics should try to avoid eating foods high in starch and carbohydrates.

In addition should also avoid high oil and high fat food, diet as light as possible, high oil and high fat food will also affect the endocrine, and ultimately still affect the blood sugar situation, especially type 2 diabetes patients, high oil and high fat food will also increase the burden on the pancreatic islets, which will make the situation more and more serious.

Diabetic friends should usually consume more dietary fiber-rich foods, dietary fiber can effectively help smooth blood sugar, but also promote fat emptying and inhibit cholesterol absorption, you can choose to add coarse grains and potatoes in the main food to smooth postprandial blood glucose, and usually eat more vegetables, vegetables are also rich in dietary fiber, and low-calorie, satiety, and nutrient-rich. Diabetics can eat fruit, but try to choose low sweetness fruits, such as grapefruit, cherries, kiwi, etc., and in moderation, not excess.

Diabetics can drink milk, drink yogurt, but must pay attention to the sugar content of the situation, some yogurt and milk is actually "dairy drinks", which in fact added a large number of sucrose, glucose syrup and so on. Usually go out to buy food must pay attention to read the ingredients list, nutrition facts table, choose low-carbohydrate, sugar-free food, note that some food although labeled sugar-free, but the carbohydrate, starch content is very high, some food labeled 0 calories, but added a lot of sugar, these need to pay attention to.

Diabetic patients should do the diet of coarse and fine grains with staple food, side dishes with meat and vegetables, do not pick food, do not eat, should be consumed every day four major types of food: cereals and potatoes, vegetables and fruits, meat and eggs and fats and oils. Diabetic patients daily staple food amount of about 250 ∽ 400 grams, 100 ∽ 150 grams of lean meat, 1 egg, 250 grams of milk, 20 grams of vegetable oil, salt 6 grams of the following, more than 500 grams of vegetables. A small number of meals can ensure adequate nutrition, but also reduce the burden on the pancreas, is conducive to good control of blood sugar. It is recommended that at least 3 meals a day, insulin injection 4 ∽ 5 meals is appropriate, can prevent hypoglycemia occurs, regular meals. In short, diabetic patients based on personal eating habits, combined with the condition, age, height, actual weight, activity intensity, season, growth and development, etc. to develop a total calorie, to meet the needs of the human body and to maintain an ideal body weight.

I have had diabetes for over thirty years. Hit first diet control, then switched to pills, then switched to insulin. I have been taking the injection for more than twenty years. So far, no complications, hiking twice a day, about 20,000 to 30,000 steps. My body is very good. About diet control, I agree with Mr. Wang Xufeng and Mr. Xiaoyi. Sugar lovers should read more. The only thing I don't agree with is the suggestion that sugar lovers don't quit drinking, but drink a little bit of alcohol in small amounts. White wine about one or two or so, and a beer or a bottle. Enjoy life while benefiting cardiovascular health. Remember not to drink too much. It will kill you. I drink a small amount of wine every day with two square meals. One of life's great pleasures. Remember, sugar lovers need five horses (five carriages) to catch up.

Porridge ~ one of the daunting foods for diabetics.

Whenever diabetics hear the word ~porridge~ they respect it.

So why is porridge not recommended for diabetics? It's to do with the term glycemic index.

Glycemic index is the percentage ratio of a food containing 50 grams of carbohydrates to a comparable amount of glucose that raises the postprandial blood glucose area over a given period of time.

Low Glycemic Index Foods
Long residence time in gastrointestinal, slow release, low postprandial blood glucose peak. gi <55%.

Medium Glycemic Index Foods

Postprandial blood glucose spikes between low and high glycemic index foods. 55% ≤ GI ≤ 70%.

High Glycemic Index Foods

Fast digestion after entering the gastrointestinal tract, complete absorption, high postprandial blood glucose peaks.GI>70%.

There is also the processing of food determines the glycemic situation, the finer the glycemic situation, the faster the glycemic situation. For example, the glycemic index of oats itself is very low, but made into oatmeal glycemic index is different, it will become high, and buy instant oats, the glycemic index is even higher on the diabetic patients are not recommended to eat.

Here's a question some people ask. In our common glycemic index table for staple food groups, rice has a glycemic index of 88 and rice porridge has a glycemic index of 69.4.It doesn't match the above statement ah! The most likely reason for this is that the measurements were taken with very thin rice porridge, not with the sticky rice porridge we usually eat.

Diabetics can even eat fruit, so what's not to like about porridge?

The main thing is to be careful about how you drink porridge.
For high glycemic index foods like porridge, drink can, drink some when your blood sugar is stable, pay attention to the combination and control the amount!Try not to drink rice porridge (and drink sugar water is almost the same), choose mixed grain porridge, when cooking porridge, try not to do too soft and rotten, when drinking porridge with other dry food, the most important thing is to have a dish containing dietary fiber, (leafy vegetables, fungi and algae) and meat, eggs, soy products of any one of them. It will be much better!

Note to diabetics:

1, control the diet, eat small meals; avoid eating foods with high glycemic index such as: white sugar, brown sugar, glucose, sugar products, sweets, fructose, honey and so on.

Eat less: potatoes, taro, cream, lard, suet, butter, peanuts, melon seeds, and animal offal.

Recommended food: coarse grains (buckwheat, soybean wheat, oatmeal, soy products, etc.), bitter melon is also very good.

Try to diversify your food as much as possible, preferring coarse rather than fine. Eat more vegetables, coarse grains, etc., eat less fat, salt and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers, coffee, mustard and so on.

2, adhere to the exercise, increase consumption, appropriate exercise is very important for the control of blood sugar, increased consumption, can reduce the burden on the pancreas. Long-term adherence can significantly slow down the development of the disease.

3、Regular monitoring of blood glucose, follow the doctor's instructions, reasonable use of medication.

4, develop good living habits, maintain a good state of mind is also necessary for diabetic patients to control their condition.

　　In conclusion, controlling blood glucose levels in a normal range prevents and avoids complications.
