What nutrients should diabetics pay attention to?

1. Reasonably distribute the three major nutrients, carbohydrates account for 50%-60% of the patient's food, protein accounts for 15%-20%, and oil is given two extra spoonfuls in addition to the food;

2. To calculate the total daily calorie requirements, adults multiply the standard weight by 30 kcal, teenagers give a base, plus age multiplied by 100 kcal;

3. Three meals can be reasonably distributed, which can be divided according to 3 or 5;

4. Patients can design their own diet, control their blood sugar, and eat seven or eight minutes full at each meal.

In addition to rice and noodles, there are also sweet potatoes, potatoes and soybeans, which are staple foods and belong to carbohydrates. The main protein is animal protein, mainly including various lean meat, fish, shrimp, dairy products, etc., and plant protein mainly includes soybeans and grains, which are rich in protein. Fat accounts for 25 to 30 percent of our food intake,** mainly edible oil, fatty meat, melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts and so on.

It is best to consult an endocrinology department!

Nowadays, the promotion of social health care products is overwhelming, which health care products are really suitable for diabetic patients? Today, I will recommend several supplements recommended in the diabetes nutrition guide to you, so that you can supplement them according to your actual situation.

1) Lipoic acid.

Applicable people: sugar friends with peripheral neuropathy.

Rationale: Supplementation with 300-600mg of -lipoic acid can improve nerve conduction velocity and peripheral nerve symptoms.

2) B vitamins.

Suitable for people: neuropathy, sugar friends taking metformin.

Rationale: It can improve diabetic neuropathy.

Animal offal (liver, heart, kidney), lean meat, and poultry eggs are also abundant. Vitamin B12** is found in animal foods, mainly in meat, organ meat, fish, poultry and eggs, and less in milk and dairy products. Plant-based foods are largely free of vitamin B12.

3) Fish oil.

Suitable for people: people with high triglycerides.

Rationale: Daily intake of grams of W-3 supplementation significantly reduces triglyceride levels.

4) Chromium. <>

Suitable for: Diabetic or obese patients with chromium deficiency.

Rationale: Whether routine chromium supplementation is beneficial for diabetic patients is controversial and may be beneficial in diabetic or obese patients with chromium deficiency.

Food**: Widely distributed in food, animal foods are rich in chromium in meat and seafood (oysters, sea cucumbers, eels, etc.). Plant foods such as cereals, legumes, nuts, black fungus, seaweed, etc., are also rich in chromium.

Chromium in brewer's yeast and animal liver is present in the form of a biologically active glucose tolerance factor, which is highly absorbed and utilized.

Diabetics should take care to supplement vitamins and minerals. Minerals and vitamins are important to the human body and must be replenished. In the case of infection, other comorbidities, or poor control, more supplementation is required.

Vitamin C. Hundreds of years ago, scientists proposed that diabetic patients can eat more foods rich in vitamin C, which can promote the secretion of insulin, thereby improving diabetes symptoms.

Diabetes is a chronic disease, and dietary control is the foundation of blood sugar control. However, due to the fact that some patients have too strict dietary control or unbalanced nutrient intake, there may be some nutrient deficiencies, I think appropriate supplementation of some nutrients is necessary, followed by the need to supplement some trace elements such as chromium, magnesium, aluminum, etc. These trace elements have certain benefits for insulin, which can maintain the effect of insulin, and zinc is a component of insulin, which is indispensable for diabetes.

Dietary fiber, which can reduce the absorption of fats and sugars in the intestines and lower blood sugar levels. Foods rich in dietary fiber include vegetables and fruits, whole grains, unprocessed gluten, whole wheat products, seaweeds, legumes, root vegetables, and other foods. As an essential trace element in the human body, selenium has a very important role in diabetes, can improve the insulin free radical defense system and the metabolic function of endocrine cells, provides a new basis for the prevention of diabetes complications, and can prevent the oxidative destruction of pancreatic islet cells.

In fact, when these essential substances are insufficient, diabetic patients can appropriately consume some nutrients that are beneficial to the body.

It said that he looked for a certified nutritionist, and from his experience, he had seen many brands of nutritional products and knew which brands of nutritional products were credible. It is not easy for a dietitian to obtain a certificate, and in terms of conscience and professional ethics, the likelihood that he will recommend inferior brands of nutritional products is relatively low. Fan Zhihong, director of the Chinese Nutrition Society and chief expert of science communication hired by the China Association for Science and Technology, suggested:

Antioxidant supplements like anthocyanins, grape seeds, and products like phytosterol esters, lecithin, and fish oil may have health benefits when eaten right

This is known as the "seventh nutrient" of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber includes soluble and insoluble, insoluble dietary fiber often comes from vegetables, fruits and legumes, and there are also artificially separated bamboo fiber, wheat fiber, which are cellulose that cannot be directly consumed by humans.

If you want a reasonable supplement, you should pay attention to your diet, be light, eat more green vegetables and fruits, eat more very fresh food, and don't eat too much meat, so as to avoid this diabetes and control it well.

It is recommended to eat small and frequent meals, on the one hand, to increase the intake of lean meat, marine fish, legumes and other foods rich in high-quality protein, on the other hand, to do aerobic exercise and appropriate resistance exercise. The ratio of carbohydrates and fats should be appropriately reduced, while the proportion of proteins should be appropriately increased.

You can usually eat fish that contains omega-3 (deep-sea fish) and olive oil that contains polyunsaturated fats. Some berries can also be eaten in moderation. The best thing to do is to eat plenty of green vegetables.

Diabetic patients can eat some coarse grains to supplement nutrition, such as cornmeal, buckwheat, oats, coix seeds, etc. In addition, you can also eat some sweet potatoes, potatoes and soybeans appropriately.

Try not to eat some foods high in starch, and at the same time, do not eat some foods with high sugar content, because this will have a certain impact on diabetics, and you should also pay attention to personal hygiene.

You can eat less and more meals, and then eat some foods with less sugar, you can eat more soy products and meat, but you can't eat fatty meat, so that you can increase your nutrition.

This requires the determination of nutritional supplementation according to the patient's gender, age and height, as well as the nature of his work, and with reference to his lifestyle habits.

Diabetic patients should eat more vegetables and fruits, and also supplement protein in time.

1. What nutrients should diabetics pay attention to? Is it okay to eat some candy in moderation?

Answer: Diabetes is actually a chronic metabolic disease based on elevated blood sugar values and exceeding the diagnostic criteria stipulated by the medical community. Diabetics should eat less fat, less sugar, light diet, and more protein-containing foods to supplement nutrition.

Second, if diabetic patients want to replenish the body, then diabetic patients should eat more milk and dairy products, not only because they are very nutritious, safe and effective to eat, and the calcium content is very high, the utilization rate is also high, of course, sugary products diabetic patients can not eat, general pure milk is the best for diabetic patients.

Third, followed by soy products and beans, which are rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and other vitamins, diabetic patients long-term consumption of soy products, not only for diabetics to lower blood sugar help, but also play a role in preventing osteoporosis. In addition, diabetics can also eat more kelp, shrimp skin, seaweed, oats, barley, millet, bok choy, celery and other foods. These foods are all great for diabetics.

Fourth, diabetic patients can eat more high-fiber foods. High-fiber foods can promote the metabolism of sugar, and have a certain auxiliary effect on diabetes, therefore, diabetic patients can usually eat some corn, wheat, cabbage, leeks, bean products, etc., which can supplement the vitamins and fiber needed by the human body, and at the same time promote the detoxification of the body, thereby improving the condition.

5. Diabetic patients can consume a little sugar if they have hypoglycemia. In addition to hypoglycemia, diabetic patients should not consume sugar at any time, because the result of sugar can be that the blood sugar level of diabetic patients has increased significantly, which will lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, deep coma or secondary infection, which can seriously endanger the life and health of patients. Diabetics should avoid sugary foods in their daily lives.

One is to pay attention to vitamin supplementation, the second is to pay attention to calcium supplementation, and the third is to pay attention to protein and enough carbohydrates required by the body.

Diabetics can eat some fruits appropriately, especially when there is hypoglycemia, eating candy can raise blood sugar quickly. In daily life, when blood sugar remains stable, you can eat candy occasionally, but it is not recommended to eat it often.

You can eat some high-fiber foods to promote sugar metabolism, such as corn, wheat, cabbage, leeks, and bean products, which can not only supplement the vitamins and fiber needed by humans, but also promote the detoxification of the body; You can eat it in moderation because there is a possibility of low blood sugar.

To supplement crude fiber foods, proteins, amino acids, lecithin, mineral elements. Of course, you can't eat candy, which will seriously affect the stability of blood sugar.

Diet** is crucial and decisive for diabetics. Diet is the basic method of all types of diabetes, and diabetics can eat the normal amount of food, but they cannot eat at will. You can't eat as much as you want like normal people, and you can eat whenever you want.

According to physiological needs, the total calories and various nutrients required for the whole day must be distributed in the form of food in a planned and reasonable manner in the three meals and supplementary meals every day, and regular and quantitative meals must be eaten, and additional meals must be added when necessary. It is necessary to be able to eat enough, without feeling hungry, and not eating much.

Principles of the Diabetic Diet**:

1. Caloric balance: control the total calories of the whole day, and the daily calorie intake and calorie consumption should achieve a balance between physiological needs, so that the weight can be kept within the normal (ideal) standard range.

2. Nutrient balance: the three major nutrients, carbohydrates should account for 55 65% of the total calories, fat accounts for less than 30%, and protein accounts for 15 20% (the required amount is about 1g kg ideal body weight). Consume adequate amounts of vitamins to ensure good physical fitness.

3. Advocate: "two high, four low, one balance", no smoking and alcohol.

Two high: high in carbohydrates, high in fiber. Four lows: low sugar, low fat, low cholesterol, low salt. 1. Balance: Balance protein.

On the basis of reasonable control of calories, the amount of carbohydrates should be increased appropriately, mainly polysaccharides and starches, coarse rice, noodles and grains should be eaten, and polished rice and white noodles should be minimized, which has a certain effect on improving insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Also consume more high-fiber foods, such as konjac, oat bran, etc.

Pay attention to low sugar, low fat, low cholesterol, low salt, high protein. It is best to have high-quality protein, such as milk, lean meat, fish, soy, etc.

B vitamins should be supplemented.
