There are many things that diabetics need to pay attention to in their diet:
Diabetic patients should avoid high-sugar diet, such as white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, glucose, maltose, honey and other sweets, so as to avoid the rapid rise of blood sugar and endanger the health of diabetic patients.
Diabetic patients should not drink alcohol. Long-term drinking is not good for the liver, and it is easy to cause the increase of serum triglycerides. Moreover, a few patients who take sulfonylurea drugs are prone to palpitation, shortness of breath, redness and dryness of cheeks after drinking. Therefore, diabetic patients should not drink alcohol.
Diabetic patients should also pay attention to controlling blood lipids to avoid inducing complications. Therefore, diabetics should not eat butter, sheep oil, lard, butter and other diets that are easy to raise blood lipids.
Dietary suggestions for diabetic patients;
1. Diabetic patients should have a low-sugar diet, and they can eat more fruits and vegetables and high-fiber foods, which can promote the body's sugar metabolism, lower blood sugar and keep healthy. So diabetics can eat some melons, pumpkins, vegetables, green peppers, tomatoes, as well as corn, wheat, Chinese cabbage, leeks, bean products and so on.
2. Diabetic patients should pay attention to vitamin supplementation, especially vitamin B and vitamin C, in order to slow down the process of diabetic complications, so diabetic patients can eat some fish, milk, mustard greens, kale, green peppers, fresh dates and so on.
3. Diabetic patients should pay attention to eating a diet containing calcium and selenium.
