It turned out that after consulting a doctor, Uncle Zhang summed up a set of "eating methods" that suited him. His blood sugar not only did not rise, but also reached the standard steadily. Come and see if it suits you!
Many diabetics know that the staple food should be coarse grains, but after eating buckwheat oats several times, Mr. Zhang's stomach swelled and his body lost weight. After that, Uncle Zhang added coarse grains such as buckwheat and corn to white rice and white flour, and mixed coarse grains of flour and rice to eat, 2 Liang per meal, and did not eat much.
The doctor said: too much emphasis on eating coarse grains has led many diabetic patients to enter the misunderstanding of "eating only coarse grains", which has led to an increase in the burden on the stomach and unable to effectively absorb nutrients. The correct way is to eat all the coarse grains in flour and rice, and ensure two staple foods every day. The energy provided by carbohydrates should account for 50%-65% of the total energy.
After being diagnosed, many diabetics have become ascetic monks who don't eat human food, but Uncle Zhang eats a lot every day, including meat, fish, eggs, milk and beans.
The doctor said: People with diabetes also need to eat meat, so as to ensure the intake of protein. However, to control the amount, the intake of fat should be mainly unsaturated fatty acids, and the intake of trans fatty acids should be reduced as much as possible; Try to choose lean beef, fish, shrimp, beans, bean products, milk and so on. These foods contain a lot of high-quality protein.
In the past summer, Uncle Zhang ate not only watermelons and sweet grapes, but also sweet peaches, and there were sweet pomegranates and persimmons near the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people advised him not to eat, not to eat! However, Uncle Zhang knows it well. As a senior diabetic, eating fruits and vegetables is a prerequisite!
The doctor said: Of course, you can eat fruit for diabetes, but you need to meet the following preconditions:
First, fasting blood glucose did not exceed the blood glucose control standard, and no complications occurred;
Second, pay attention to the time when eating fruit, and eat when you are hungry between meals;
Third, keep your mouth shut, don't eat too much, and take a few bites to relieve your craving;
Fourth, measure blood sugar in time after eating fruit and record it carefully.
Uncle Zhang is a bit picky about his food. He often picks vegetables with green leaves, but he doesn't care about green leaves. Why is this?
The doctor said: vegetables contain a lot of dietary fiber, so many doctors advise diabetics to eat more vegetables. But there are also many "fake vegetables", which contain a lot of starch and little dietary fiber, such as potatoes and lotus roots. Therefore, diabetic patients should try to choose green leafy vegetables such as oily wheat, lettuce and spinach.
In addition, Uncle Zhang changed his taste, and the salt he ate every day was strictly controlled within 6 grams, and he developed a good habit of drinking 7 glasses of water every day. He also gave up smoking for more than 20 years and rarely drank.
Judging from Uncle Zhang's diet, the diet of diabetic patients is a university question. Be sure to consult a professional doctor and make a special diet for yourself to control blood sugar stably.
Finally, I would like to remind you that diet therapy for diabetes is only one aspect. In real life, we should combine our own situation, comprehensive exercise therapy, hypoglycemic drugs and other ways to control blood sugar stability!
