Dietary considerations for diabetes mellitus
1, properly control the amount of staple food.
Under normal circumstances, rest patients eat 250-300 grams of staple food every day; 350-400g per day for light manual workers; Heavy manual workers 450-550g per day. After the blood sugar and urine sugar are reduced, the staple food can be appropriately increased by 25-50g. The staple food should be eaten in rotation or mixed to improve its nutritional value. Patients should pay attention to summing up the changing rules between meals and blood sugar and urine sugar, so as to achieve stable condition and fixed staple food; If the condition fluctuates, adjust it in time. Master it skillfully and keep your weight within the standard range.
Step 2 control your diet
This doesn't mean eating as little as possible. Because of long-term hunger and insufficient calories, the body will consume itself, which will not only lead to emaciation and weakened resistance, but also aggravate diabetes. Therefore, diabetic patients should follow the doctor's advice, reasonably arrange the appropriate proportion of daily total calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates, and make their own ideal recipes.
3, avoid spicy food
Diabetic patients tend to eliminate hunger, thirst and drink more, and take yin deficiency as the basis and dryness and heat as the standard, while spicy foods such as pepper, ginger, mustard and pepper are warm, which easily consume vaginal fluid and aggravate dryness and heat. Therefore, diabetic patients should avoid eating such condiments.
Step 4 stay away from alcohol and tobacco
The spicy and hot wine will directly interfere with the energy metabolism of the human body and aggravate the condition. While taking hypoglycemic drugs, drinking alcohol will make blood sugar plummet, induce hypoglycemia and affect treatment. In addition, ethanol can accelerate the metabolism of hypoglycemic agents, shorten their half-life and affect the efficacy of drugs. Therefore, diabetic patients must avoid alcohol.
5. Eat less acidic food.
The body fluids of diabetic patients are mostly acidic. Cereals, fish, meat and other foods basically do not contain organic acids or have a low content, and the taste is not sour. However, after complete decomposition and metabolism in the human body, it mainly leaves acidic substances such as chlorine, sulfur and phosphorus, so it is called acidic food in nutrition. Acidic body fluids are not good for diabetes. Therefore, diabetics should eat less such foods and eat more green leafy vegetables to make their body fluids weakly alkaline. Eating lettuce has a good effect on this disease.
