Diabetes needs to be careful

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is due to impaired insulin secretion or its biological effects, or both. The long-standing hyperglycemia in diabetes leads to chronic damage and dysfunction in various tissues, especially the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels and nerves.

Diabetic people should not use rice as a staple food and should eat more whole grains such as buckwheat noodles, buckwheat noodles, oatmeal, cornmeal and other foods rich in vitamin B, trace elements, and dietary fiber. Long-term consumption can lower blood sugar and blood lipids;

Beans and soy products

Legumes are rich in protein, inorganic salts and vitamins, and soy oils contain unsaturated fatty acids that lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides.

Fruit and vegetable with hypoglycemic effect

Bitter gourd, onion, shiitake mushrooms, grapefruit, pumpkin, etc. are all fruits and vegetables that can lower blood sugar and are ideal for diabetics. If propolis is used for a long time, the effect of lowering blood sugar and preventing complications will be better.

Diabetes should not drink. Because the alcohol contained in the wine does not contain other nutrients for heat energy only, the calorific value per kilogram of alcohol is about 7 kcal (294 joules). Long-term drinking is unfavorable to the liver and can easily cause the rise of serum triglycerides. A small number of patients taking sulphonylurea hypoglycemic agents are prone to palpitation, shortness of breath, red cheeks and other reactions after drinking. Insulin patients who drink alcohol on an empty stomach are prone to cause hypoglycemia. Therefore, it is better to not drink alcohol for the safety of the patient.

Diabetes should eat less or not eat fruits. Because the fruit contains more carbohydrates, and mainly glucose, sucrose, starch. The speed of digestion and absorption after eating can quickly lead to elevated blood sugar, which is unfavorable for diabetics. Therefore, diabetes should not generally eat more fruits. However, due to the fact that fruits contain more pectin, pectin has the effect of delaying the absorption of glucose. Therefore, when the disease is stable, you can eat less fruits. When eating fruit, choose low sugar content as the principle.

Should limit dietary cholesterol levels. When the disease condition of diabetic patients is not well controlled, it is easy to increase serum cholesterol, cause diabetic vascular complications, and diabetic coronary heart disease. Therefore, the diet of diabetes patients should limit the intake of cholesterol. Generally, the limit of cholesterol is less than 300 mg per day.
