As we all know, diet can affect the occurrence and development of diabetes. People with diabetes know that they should strictly control their sugar intake, so they are cautious in their diet. But what makes them collapse is that even a low-sugar and sugar-free diet can't control their blood sugar, which may be related to a high-salt and high-fat diet.

1, high-salt diet

Studies have shown that salt can stimulate amylase activity, accelerate the digestion and absorption of starch, or accelerate the absorption of sugar in the small intestine, stimulate the secretion of insulin in large quantities, and thus make blood sugar rise sharply. Therefore, we should pay attention to a light diet, and the daily salt should not exceed 6 grams. When cooking food, we should put less seasonings such as soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and oyster sauce, and eat less preserved food and processed food. Only by actively controlling the intake of salt can we avoid the increase of blood pressure, prevent cardiovascular diseases, reduce the burden of insulin, improve glucose metabolism and help stabilize the disease.

2. High-fat diet

A high-fat diet will not only lead to obesity, but also increase the risk of diabetes. There are three main reasons. First, if you eat too much high-fat food, the oxidative decomposition of body fat can consume the intermediate products of glucose decomposition, hinder the oxidative decomposition of glucose, and then increase the blood sugar concentration;

Secondly, lipolysis can secrete excessive free fatty acids, increase the content of fatty acids in blood, enhance the function of muscle to absorb fatty acids, and weaken the utilization and consumption of glucose, thus increasing the blood sugar concentration, which can lead to insulin resistance in severe cases; Third, a high-fat diet will also increase the contents of cholesterol, leptin and triglycerides in serum. So stay away from foods with high cholesterol and fat, such as fried food, animal offal, fish eggs, crab roe and so on.

1, whole grain

Common whole grains include brown rice, barley, oats and sorghum. Although it contains carbohydrates, it is a high dietary fiber component, which is digested slowly in the body, delaying the rise of blood sugar after meals, so the staple food should be whole grains.

2. Fish

Patients with type 2 diabetes are prone to heart disease, so they can eat fish properly, such as sardines, tuna and salmon. Omega-3 fatty acids can protect the heart, reduce inflammatory reaction and prevent diabetic retinopathy.

Step 3: eggs

A small egg belongs to high-quality protein food and contains 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for human body. It can give people a sense of fullness, help to stabilize blood sugar, inhibit hunger hormone, help to lose weight and improve blood sugar.

4. Green leafy vegetables

Green leafy vegetables are low in carbohydrates, calories and dietary fiber, and are also rich in vitamins and polyphenols. They have antioxidant effect and can reduce insulin resistance, which is especially suitable for patients with type 2 diabetes.

5, beans

Usually, various miscellaneous beans, such as black beans, kidney beans and chickpeas, can be added to the staple food, which contains dietary fiber and plant protein, which helps to stabilize blood sugar and reduce glycosylated hemoglobin.

skill

It can be seen that diabetic patients should strictly control the intake of oil and salt in addition to controlling the intake of sugar, and follow the diet structure of low sugar, low salt and low oil. Adjusting the order of eating, first eating soup, then eating vegetables, and finally eating staple food can delay the increase of blood sugar after meals. Eat at least 500 grams of vegetables every day, of which more than half are green leafy vegetables.
