Therefore, after the symptoms of diabetes manifest, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time**.

Don't stay up late, maintain a certain amount of exercise, and eat a regular and low-glycemic diet

The first category is fine staple foods, that is, the white rice, white noodles, white steamed buns, white bread, etc., which have a higher glycemic index and have the greatest impact on blood sugar;

The second category is coarse grains, including brown rice, oats, black rice, millet, sorghum rice, buckwheat kernels, barley, etc., with a relatively low degree of processing;

The third category is miscellaneous beans, including red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, broad beans, peas, etc.;

The fourth category is potatoes and starchy vegetables, including sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, yams (usually referred to as iron stick yams), potatoes, etc.; Starchy vegetables include pumpkin (usually referred to as chestnut pumpkin), lotus root, corn, etc., which are rich in dietary fiber and have a strong sense of satiety; Some of them appear as rice, some as dishes, and they can actually be eaten as staple food.

1/2 bowl of rice Multigrain rice = 1/2 whole wheat steamed bun = 1 bowl of multigrain porridge = 1 bowl of soba noodles = 1 bowl of rice noodles = 1 bowl of mung beans = 2 slices of thin toast = 2 small meal packets = 6 slices of soda crackers = 6 tablespoons of oatmeal = 2 fist-sized potatoes = 2 egg-sized sweet potatoes = 10 spoons of pea kernels.

Eat some buckwheat cornmeal, eat small, frequent meals, and eat more vegetables.

1. Cereals. Cereals include staple foods such as rice and noodles. Whole grains such as soba noodles, oatmeal, cornmeal, etc., contain B vitamins and dietary fiber, which can help delay the rise in blood sugar and are beneficial to the body.

2. Soybeans and their products. In addition to being rich in protein, inorganic salts and vitamins, soybean oil also contains more w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can not only reduce blood cholesterol, but also reduce serum triglycerides, and the glutopropanol contained in it also has a lipid-lowering effect. However, if diabetic nephropathy has already occurred, soy products should not be consumed.

3. Livestock, poultry and fish. They are rich in protein, generally about 20%, and contain very few carbohydrates. White lean meat such as poultry and fish contains less saturated fatty acids, and fish oil, especially deep-sea fish oil, contains more unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to diabetes, and red lean meat such as livestock meat contains more saturated fatty acids and should be eaten less.

4. Eggs. Eggs contain high-quality protein and few carbohydrates, making them suitable for diabetics. However, it should be noted that egg yolks are high in cholesterol, so be careful not to eat egg yolks.

5. Oils and fats. Cooking oil is a fat-rich food and should be consumed in rations, and vegetable oil should be used instead of animal oil as much as possible. In order to reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids, soybean oil and corn oil containing more unsaturated fatty acids should be used.

6. Fruits. People with good disease control and fasting blood sugar can eat fruits appropriately.
