Does starvation therapy work for diabetics?

It is often said that "hunger can cure diseases", in fact, hunger ** with medicine ** is helpful in **some diseases, and some diabetics also try to assist ** through hunger**. So diabetes, a disease with many taboos, is suitable for starvation**to assist**? Next, let your family doctor take you to see if hunger** can help control blood sugar.

Hunger is not suitable for diabetes to eat more, drink more, urinate more, people are emaciated, this is a typical "three more and one less" for diabetics, eating too much will cause high blood sugar, eat less and low blood sugar, so in diabetes**, the most important thing is to control the diet.

Hunger advocates fasting, which greatly affects the balance of nutrition in the body of diabetic patients, the most obvious is hypoglycemia, and if the intake of staple food is not enough, the body calorie supply is insufficient, it will lead to the decomposition of too much fat, protein, etc., at this time, it will lead to malnutrition, physical exhaustion and other symptoms, and in severe cases, starvation ketosis, induce other complications, lead to other diseases, and destroy the internal organs of the human body.

What dietary details should diabetics pay attention to? 1. Eat smaller, more frequent mealsThere are quite a few people who have a question:

How much should diabetics eat? In fact, the question of "how much to eat" mainly depends on the severity of the patient's current condition. For most sugar friends, eating less and more meals is a more acceptable choice, sugar friends can divide three meals a day into 4 5 meals, for blood sugar fluctuations have a better effect, to remember that when you are hungry, do not endure it, and you can't eat too much when eating, especially sugar friends with poor kidney function, the amount of food control should be more cautious.

2. Alleviate blood sugar"It doesn't matter if you eat too much, you can take some hypoglycemic drugs", this is a very common misunderstanding, some people one-sidedly pursue the pursuit of hypoglycemic drugs, blindly eat hypoglycemic food, sometimes this kind of drug food can not really lower blood sugar, in fact, carbohydrates after the internal compression of the human body, there will be a certain amount of energy gap, at this time to choose some foods that have the effect of delaying blood sugar rise, such as soybeans or other soy products, coarse grains and other foods.

And it is worth noting that eating salt does not mean that it can alleviate blood sugar, and excessive salt intake will also lead to a sharp increase in calories, which not only can not play a role in alleviating blood sugar problems, but will aggravate high blood sugar.

3. Fat control:What kind of fats are better for diabetics? Studies have found that monounsaturated fatty acids have a good effect on diabetic patients, and monounsaturated fatty acids can greatly improve blood sugar after meals, thereby reducing the number and dose of insulin and reducing the problem of diabetes complications.

Fish is a food that contains a lot of monounsaturated fatty acids, so it is recommended that diabetics can eat more fish.

In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the vegetable oil and vegetable oil on the market, which are not really "vegetarian", they also contain a large amount of fatty acids, and excessive intake will also cause fluctuations in blood lipids and blood sugar.

Hunger** is useful for diabetics, who mainly control energy and weight, and can be treated with diet to reduce fat in food.

This method has a certain effect for diabetic patients, but in the process of carrying out such a method, it is necessary to grasp a degree.

No, when the body is in a state of hunger, blood sugar decreases, insulin rises, and the body secretes insulin, which is not conducive to blood sugar control.

I think it should work, it can be applied in a certain aspect, it's very good, you can try it, maybe it will work.

Generally speaking, it still has a certain effect, but you must pay attention to eating normally.

It is best to choose to take some hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and usually supplement some vitamins so as to maintain a healthy state. The choice of food is also more important, you can choose to eat more foods that are good for the body, so as to avoid the burden on the body, and can also lower blood sugar. There are also some special foods for diabetics on the market, and the substances in these foods do not raise blood sugar.

The main reason is that diabetic patients control blood sugar in the process of lowering blood sugar, there is a glucose utilization disorder, they will feel obvious hunger and accompanied by weight loss, in the process of strict control of diet, unscientific diet structure will cause hunger; Diabetics eat some foods with less sugar, such as oats, tartary buckwheat, fried barley with yams, vegetables, onions, winter melon, garlic, etc., are some of the more suitable foods.

Sugar in the diabetic body will be excreted from the body, and the insulin of diabetics is particularly low, which cannot maintain the body's needs, so hunger will occur. Corn, sweet potato, yam, potato millet noodles are all very good for diabetics.

Because there is too much insulin secretion at night, the stomach fire is more vigorous, so it is easy to feel hungry. You can eat more fruits with low sugar content, you can eat more wheat, you can eat more apples, you can eat tofu, you can eat fresh fruits and vegetables, you can also eat more white fungus, fungus, yuba, peas.

As we all know, in the control of diabetes, diet control is one of the important means, among which there are many diabetics who have misunderstandings about diet control, thinking that eating less food blood sugar will naturally not rise, so there is the legendary "hunger**". So is the legendary "hunger**" reliable for diabetics?

After learning from the experts, the answer given is:"Hunger**" is certainly unreliable for diabetics.

"Hunger**" has very serious drawbacks:

1. Due to insufficient energy intake, the total calories cannot meet the needs of the body's metabolism, resulting in excessive decomposition of body fat and protein, body emaciation, malnutrition (poor resistance, lack of energy, yellow hair, etc.), and even starvation ketosis.

2. Easy to hypoglycemia.

3. Easy constipation.

4. Muscle loss, water loss and fat loss.

Although many diabetics are overweight and insulin resistant, and doctors will recommend that you lose weight appropriately, it is recommended that you lose weight through reasonable diet and appropriate exercise. Such scientific weight loss can effectively reduce abdominal fat, gain muscle, lose fat, and enhance immunity to achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar.

5. Affect the quality of life and lead to a loss of confidence in the life of sugar friends, which is not conducive to blood sugar control.

Diet is an important part of life, if sugar friends are forced not to eat for a long time or eat too little, it will make sugar friends lose their fun for diet, an important part of life, but affect the mood of sugar friends, and it is easy to backfire on blood sugar control.

Intermittent fasting mode: also known as intermittent fasting, one type adopts the 5+2 pattern, that is, 5 days of a week are relatively normal eating, and the other 2 days (non-continuous) are the usual 1 4 energy (about 500 kcal d for women, 600 kcal d for men).

Therefore, if the doctor recommends that the sugar friend lose weight appropriately, he can try fasting and exercise. Here, it is best to carry out fasting and fat loss under the guidance of professional doctors and nutritionists to avoid unreasonable operations and damage to the body.

Finally, it is suggested that if sugar friends have abnormal hunger, fatigue, dizziness, palpitation and other symptoms in diabetes, they need to test their blood sugar in time to see if it is caused by low blood sugar. The harm of hypoglycemia is very great, sugar friends should prevent hypoglycemia, such as going out to exercise, or going to a place where you can't eat for a long time, you need to carry candy, biscuits and other things, and once hypoglycemia symptoms appear, you should replenish energy in time.

Many diabetics may have such a dilemma, that is, they know that they are hungry, but they can't eat too much, and they often feel hungry. Because the sugar in the blood of diabetic patients cannot enter the cells, no matter how high the peripheral blood sugar is, as long as the cells cannot absorb it, they will feel hungry, and if they eat as soon as they are hungry, they will enter a vicious circle. The more blood sugar cannot be satisfied, the hungrier people are, and the hungrier they eat, the higher their blood sugar will be, and the greater the harm to the human body.

Therefore, when diabetic patients usually feel hungry, they generally need to control their diet, and a reasonable diet is the key to diabetes.

However, proper hunger does not mean that the hungrier the better. Many diabetic patients will feel hungry and unbearable in the process of controlling their diet, and even have symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, hand tremor, general fatigue, sweating, and even hypoglycemic reactions in severe cases. So how can this symptom be alleviated?

In this article, I will teach you some of how diabetics should eat when they are hungry? How to eat? You need to eat healthy and eat correctly to quench your hunger and be safe.

I hope this article can be helpful to netizens who have diabetics around them.

1. When you are hungry, eat some cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables.

2. Adopt the method of eating less and eating more often, you can evenly divide a small part of the food in the main meal and put it in the additional meal, generally you can choose milk or a small amount of biscuits, and it is best to choose high-fiber biscuits.

3. Some coarse grains can be used as staple food, which can increase satiety due to the highest fiber content.

4. If hypoglycemia symptoms are caused by hunger, you must eat some carbohydrate-containing foods immediately, or drink a little sugar water immediately. If the symptoms are severe, you should go to the hospital.

5. If hunger is still strong after a period of time, you should check whether you are eating the right amount and consult a nutritionist if necessary.

When you have diabetes, your doctor will always remind you to control your diet. Therefore, many people not only dare not eat sweets and meat, but even eat very little at every meal. Therefore, there are many diabetics who often experience hunger, but in order to control their blood sugar, they can't eat a lot, what should they do?

Why do people with diabetes often experience hunger?

In the human brain, there is a hunger center made up of a group of cells. When people are hungry, these cells remind them to eat in a timely manner, including those with diabetes.

Since the sugar in the blood of diabetic patients cannot enter the cells, no matter how high the surrounding blood sugar is, as long as the cells cannot absorb it, they are prone to hunger. No matter how much diabetes eats, it will only be a vicious circle. The more blood sugar cannot enter the cells, the hungrier people will be, and the hungrier they will eat, the higher their blood sugar will be, and the greater the harm to the human body.

Therefore, generally speaking, when diabetics feel hungry, they should control their diet, and a reasonable diet is the key to diabetes. However, this does not mean that the hungrier the better. If you are overly hungry, you may experience dizziness, palpitation, hand tremors, general fatigue, sweating, and in severe cases, hypoglycemia.

So how can diabetics manage their hunger?

1. Reasonable control.

Many diabetic patients are afraid to eat sweets and meat, eat less at each meal, and endure hunger because the doctor told them to control their diet.

In fact, diabetic patients should not control calories too strictly, staple foods should not be eaten too little, people engaged in light physical labor work, the amount of staple food should be about 300 to 400 grams per day, while people engaged in heavy physical labor should eat more than 500 grams of staple food per day. In addition, diabetics should eat small and frequent meals, and divide the total amount of food and drink into four to five meals a day, which can not only avoid the problem of high blood sugar after meals, but also avoid being too hungry.

2. Nutritional matching.

Some diabetics think that they can't eat meat if they have diabetes, so they eat vegetables every day, resulting in not enough energy to support the body.

Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic patients should not only eat vegetarian, but also meat and vegetarian combinations. The diet should not be without vegetable oils, and you should be able to eat a little lean meat, fish and shrimp appropriately. This slows down the rate at which the stomach empties and prevents frequent hunger pangs.

3. Real-time monitoring.

Many diabetic patients go to the hospital once a month for a follow-up visit to have a blood sugar test, which has a misunderstanding that a monthly blood sugar check can only represent the blood sugar at that time, and cannot represent the situation of diabetes control.

Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic patients self-monitor every day to understand their blood sugar status, so that they can know what they should eat, how much to eat, and how to eat.

Fourth, adhere to **.

Diet control is more important than medication**, many diabetics will experience unbearable hunger when eating**, as long as there is no hypoglycemia, they should stick to it and do not change the diet **, generally speaking, they will adapt to this diet after two to three weeks.
