Many patients regard all carbohydrates (sugars) as the "culprits" of increasing blood sugar, and blindly force themselves to limit food. They eat little or no food every day. At the same time, they eat a lot of high-fat meat, fat or snacks because of hunger. As a result, diabetes is not well controlled, but there are various acute and chronic complications, which is extremely adverse to the condition. In fact, the biggest factor affecting blood sugar is the total energy produced by daily intake of all foods. If the energy intake exceeds the standard, it is easier to cause blood sugar to rise.
Since dietary fat will produce more energy, it is necessary to limit excessive intake, and correspondingly relax the restrictions on carbohydrates, which mainly refers to the restrictions on complex carbohydrates (grain food). Including grains (especially whole wheat), rice, beans, vegetables and fruits. These foods bring many benefits to the human body, including rich carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Metabolism in the body requires complex physiological processes to become blood sugar, so it is not easy to cause blood sugar to soar. If you choose them reasonably, they will help you control diabetes well. Because they are large and full, they may make you no longer hungry, which is beneficial to weight control. Therefore, it is very necessary to choose more rather than less carbohydrates every day. If you are young or have a large amount of activity, you can also increase them moderately. We recommend the following foods:
　　•  Cereals: including rice, grains, cereal, buckwheat, and various whole wheat pasta.
　　•  Beans: including dried beans (red beans, mung beans, soybeans, green beans, etc.), peas, lentils, etc.
　　•  Vegetables: various leafy or melon vegetables, including starch vegetables, such as potatoes, yams, potatoes, fresh corn, etc.
　　•  Fruit: various fruits with low glucose and fructose.
Please pay special attention to that the above non cereal foods also contain more carbohydrates, which must be calculated within the staple food quantity when selecting, so as to keep the total amount of carbohydrates within a fixed range, and can not be eaten at will.
Of course, in your daily life, you may often face the "temptation" of simple sugars (including pure sucrose, glucose, lactose). These "sugars" are really easy to be quickly absorbed and metabolized into blood sugar in the small intestine, and you need to limit excessive intake. The following dietary tips may help you.
　　•  Check your daily recipes frequently to reduce the cooking methods that must use sucrose.
　　•  Do not add sugar in tea, coffee and other drinks, and try not to drink drinks rich in sugar.
　　•  Buy some sugar free cans or artificial sweetener products instead of sugar products.
　　•  Ordinary water is the best thirst quencher. If you must drink sweet drinks, you should choose some low calorie drinks, mineral water, etc.
　　•  If you really like to spread honey and jam on bread, try to use sweetener jam instead of butter or cream.
　　•  Sucrose should not be used in cooking as much as possible, and sweeteners can be used instead.
　　•  The ordinary yogurt on the market contains more sucrose, so it should not be used excessively. Yogurt with sweeteners can be used.
