Nowadays, many elderly people will suffer from diabetes, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to daily life. Grandma is also a diabetic. Even after the Spring Festival, she always goes to the hospital for injections and medicine. If she doesn't take injections or medicine, her blood sugar will rise again. When everyone is happy during the Spring Festival, old people can feel dizzy and have headaches, but they can't eat this and that. There is no point in celebrating the Spring Festival. It's hard! Let's take a look at some porridge that helps to lower blood sugar.

1, bamboo shoot porridge

Spring is the season when bamboo shoots thrive. As long as the weather is warm and there are several spring rains, all kinds of bamboo shoots will "rise from the ground". The elderly with diabetes may wish to eat more bamboo shoots at this time. Bamboo shoots are high-fiber foods, which can delay the digestion of food and the absorption of glucose in the intestine of diabetic patients, and help to control postprandial blood sugar. Don't say anything, go to your own bamboo garden and pull out some bamboo shoots to cook porridge for grandma.

Practice: a bamboo shoot, 50 grams of japonica rice, carefully cut bamboo shoots for later use. Wash the rice, put it in a pot, add water to cook porridge, add bamboo shoots when cooked, and cook it once or twice.

2. Corn beard porridge

Everyone loves corn! But when you eat corn, do you throw away the corn stigma? Health care tells you that you are wasting this "baby" in vain, because corn beard is sweet and flat, and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for patients with edema, hypertension, inflammation and diabetes. Don't think that only corn is delicious, and corn stigma is also a good baby!

Practice: Stigma Maydis 15g, and japonica rice 50g. Wash the corn beard, add two bowls of water, cook for 20 minutes, remove the residue and get the juice. Wash japonica rice, add corn stigma juice and cook it into porridge.

3. Bitter melon porridge

In fact, it is not unreasonable for elders to often say that "bitter medicine is bitter". For example, although bitter gourd tastes bitter, many people will resent it, but the bitter gourd saponin contained in bitter gourd has a very obvious hypoglycemic effect, similar to insulin. It's called plant insulin, and the elderly with diabetes might as well make more bitter melon porridge to drink. This kind of bitter melon porridge is economical and much more expensive than insulin.

Practice: bitter gourd 150g, japonica rice 50g. Wash bitter gourd, remove seeds and slice. Wash the japonica rice, add water into the pot and cook it into porridge, add bitter gourd slices and cook it on low heat for 10 minute. Eat it twice in the morning and evening.

The above are three kinds of good porridge introduced by health care that can reduce blood sugar in diabetes. Let's collect them for our parents and grandparents! This small move has provided great help to the elderly with diabetes. Filial piety is not only manifested in buying fish and meat for the elderly, but also making porridge for the elderly to lower blood sugar and make them happy and healthy!
