Common sense丨How to control blood sugar in diabetes

Staple food. Many diabetics always think that flour and rice are high in sugar, and millet and corn are coarse grains with low sugar content, so they avoid fine grains and eat more coarse grains, and the result is that blood sugar rises steadily. What is this asking?

Tang Yishu expert commented on the diet of diabetics and said that the diabetic diet pays attention to a scientific diet, mainly according to the patient's weight and the intensity of labor engaged, to reasonably calculate the daily calorie intake, that is, the intake of carbohydrates, protein and fat, rather than just controlling the diet. Simply controlling diet is not only difficult to control blood sugar, but also easy to lead to malnutrition, which is not good for the body.

Meat. Many diabetics believe that meat does not contain sugar, so it doesn't matter if you eat more. But it was found in the inspection of meat products by experts.

All meat contains about 8% sugar, and if you eat it openly, your blood sugar will also rise. Only seafood is low in sugar, so you can eat more.

Vegetable. The consumption of vegetables in the diet of diabetic patients is also very knowledgeable. Yams, potatoes, lotus roots, taro sugar content is about 15%, shredded potatoes, lotus roots, must be in the water before frying, the advantage of this is not only hygiene but also wash away a part of the starch.

All vegetables, as long as they feel sweet, will have a high sugar content. For example, in the conventional concept, tomatoes, like bitter gourd, loofah, eggplant, cabbage, and green onions, have a very low sugar content, about 3 5%. But sweet tomatoes are different, their sugar content even exceeds that of fruits, and because their pulp is semi-liquid, if you eat such tomatoes raw, your blood sugar will rise quickly.

Fruit. Most diabetics have a biased and vague understanding of fruits, and always feel that all fruits are sweet and must be high in sugar, so many diabetics dare not eat fruits. In fact, grapes, peaches, cherries, pineapples, and cantaloupe have less than 9% sugar content among fruits, and some fruits even have even lower sugar content.

However, dried fruits are different, for example, in raisins"degrees"With the environment can induce changes in internal factors, raisins can contain more than 55% sugar.

Nowadays, many middle-aged and elderly people suffer from diabetes, and due to poor living habits, improper diet, etc., young people are now at risk of diabetes, and for diabetic patients, it is very important to control blood sugar, if blood sugar rises, it will cause various complications, which is very unfavorable to the health of the body.

1. Monitor blood sugar regularly and adjust hypoglycemic drugs. 2. Keep exercising. Insisting on proper exercise every day can not only enhance physical fitness and improve disease resistance, but also enhance the sensitivity of muscle tissue and other tissues to insulin, reduce the resistance of diabetic tissues to insulin, increase the utilization of sugar, improve metabolism, and lower blood sugar.

The form of exercise can be walking, jogging, tai chi, etc. 3. Eat a reasonable diet, don't eat high-sugar, high-fat, high-protein foods, and achieve balanced nutrition. 4. Take oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections to control blood sugar.

My understanding is that you should usually reduce your sugar intake, eat some foods with low sugar content, try to eat less fruits and desserts, take frequent injections, and often go to the hospital for **.

Diabetic patients mainly control their blood sugar through diet, exercise, and medications**.

Avoid excessive intake, eat more high-fiber foods, eat less foods with higher sugar content, quit smoking and limit alcohol, porridge is in a semi-fluid state, and starch is mostly decomposed into monosaccharides during the heating process, and the emptying time of the stomach after eating is relatively short, so eating porridge raises blood sugar faster after meals, so diabetic patients try to avoid eating liquids and try to eat drier food; Patients with type 2 diabetes generally get better blood sugar control through enhanced exercise, advocating aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, etc., not only to achieve the amount of exercise, but also to avoid excessive exercise, specifically the heart rate of young people after exercise reaches 120 minutes, and the heart rate of the elderly after exercise reaches 100 minutes for 30 minutes, at least 5 times a week, moderate exercise can improve insulin resistance and weight loss; In the case that diet and exercise cannot make blood sugar reach the standard, we need to choose oral hypoglycemic drugs, and when oral drugs cannot be controlled, we need to use insulin, and control blood lipids and blood pressure at the same time.

As a diabetic patient for many years, I pay attention to and adhere to this in my daily life.

1.The staple food is quantitative, and the thickness is matched. Generally eat staple foods with low GI value.

According to scientific research, foods with low GI stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time and release slowly, and glucose has a low peak and a slow decline rate after entering the bloodstream, which can reduce postprandial blood sugar fluctuations and help with blood sugar control. I usually prefer to eat soba noodles, which are coarse grain noodles, which are low in fat and low GI value.

2.Auxiliary products: I also bought health care products, and I usually take them, so I use them as an auxiliary, after all, the burden on the liver and kidneys is still quite large when I take medicine every day.

I use cinnamon extract and chaga mushroom extract capsules. Enhance immunity, strengthen the body, and assist in lowering blood sugar.

3.Exercise: I usually exercise like this, starting with 5-10 minutes of jogging and stretching.

This is followed by half an hour of aerobics, or a game of badminton. Finally, 10 minutes of relaxation. I exercise about three times a week, I don't force myself, and occasional exercise is good for my body Learn more.
