Thanks Goku for the invite!

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by elevated blood glucose due to a variety of causes.

As the standard of living improves, the number of patients who develop diabetes is increasing. Diabetes is a highly prevalent disease in the middle-aged and elderly population. Once suffering from diabetes, on top of medication, diet is also important in daily life.

Diabetic patients must learn to control their daily diet, it is best not to eat or eat less of these five types of food, so as not to spike blood sugar. First: eat less starchy food, starchy food in the body into glucose, such as: potatoes, corn, taro, sweet potatoes, porridge. Two: diabetic patients should not drink alcohol, diabetic patients in taking or injecting insulin during regular drinking will affect the effectiveness of the drug, often drinking alcohol will increase the burden on the liver, but also easy to elevate blood lipids, inducing other diseases. Third: diabetic patients should not eat high cholesterol food such as: fat meat, cream and so on. Fourth, less consumption of sugary foods, sugary foods will make blood sugar rise such as: chocolate, soda, cake, ice cream. Fifth, eat less calorie-rich foods such as nuts, high-calorie foods will lead to increased blood sugar, try to eat less.

Warm Tip:

Diabetic patients usually eat a light, low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet; eat more fiber-rich vegetables, eat more miscellaneous grains; adhere to the appropriate physical exercise, regular testing of blood glucose.

Before diabetes was highly prevalent among the elderly, and as our standard of living improves, it has become a common and frequent disease, as well as a serious threat to human health.

Worldwide, the number of people diagnosed with diabetes reached 415 million in 2015, an increase of 7.2% compared to 2014, placing a heavy burden on families and societies with so many diagnosed cases. In order to prevent and control diabetes just in time, let me share some knowledge about it.

1. What is the glycemic index?

The glycemic index, as its name suggests, is an indicator of the rate and degree of food-induced elevation of blood glucose, with the area under which the patient's blood glucose is canceled minus the increase in fasting within 2 to 3 hours of eating a carbohydrate containing 50 g divided by the corresponding increase after eating 50 g of glucose.

Maybe you do not understand the definition, this is really not easy to understand, just need to know that the higher the glycemic index of the food, after eating in the blood sugar fluctuations will be greater, the more detrimental to the control of blood sugar stability.

Clinically, low glycemic index (LGI) foods are defined as those with a glycemic index of ≤55%; medium glycemic index (MGI) foods are defined as those with a glycemic index of 55% to 70%; and high glycemic index (HGI) foods are defined as those with ≥70%.

2. What foods do diabetics try not to eat that can spike their blood sugar?

The glycemic index has been introduced above, clinically for diabetic patients should choose low glycemic index food, try not to eat or eat less high glycemic index food.

• Common high glycemic index foods include starchy products (e.g., white rice, steamed buns, white bread, ramen noodles, fried rice, etc.), pumpkin, sweet potatoes, watermelon, and honey.

• 
  
• Common low glycemic index include soba noodles, semolina, lotus root, mushroom type, green pepper, cucumber, plain milk, kelp, egg, beef, tomato, spinach, onion, and lettuce.

It should be noted here that although patients are not recommended to eat high glycemic index foods, it is still possible if they eat some, such as eating 2 steamed buns at a meal before, and now eating 1 or half a steamed bun, and eating a bowl of rice before, and now eating half a bowl. There are also some people like to eat pasta, in order to reduce the glycemic index, you can add some miscellaneous noodles, such as buckwheat, black rice, lotus root flour.

When choosing food, you should pay attention, not just eat a few kinds of low glycemic index food, should try to choose a few kinds, to achieve a balanced diet, meat and vegetables. Even those with a low glycemic index need to pay attention to the amount of intake, eating too much is not conducive to blood sugar control.

In reality, there are diabetic patients mainly eat some protein high food, little or do not eat food containing starch, this is not desirable, because diabetic patients is essentially a decline in blood sugar regulation ability, not only easy to raise blood sugar, but also easy to lower, resulting in hypoglycemia. If the hypoglycemia rescue is not timely there may be life-threatening, so starchy food should be appropriate to eat some.

3. Diabetic patients should pay attention to their blood sugar:

The reality is that many diabetic patients do not pay attention to control their blood sugar, usually when the blood sugar is higher on the medication, blood sugar is normal on the medication, these behaviors are not aware of the dangers of diabetes.

Diabetes is a scary disease, it can involve organs from head to toe, some people lose their eyesight without realizing it, others have their legs amputated because of injuries to their feet, and still others get kidney failure because of poor blood sugar control over time.

Imagine if you amputate a limb due to poorly controlled diabetes, would that be a big burden on your loved ones? As an adult, I don't want to contribute much to my family, but at least I think it's okay if I don't drag my family down. So both for their loved ones, or you should focus on controlling blood sugar. Try to quit smoking and drinking, keep exercising, measure your blood sugar regularly, keep a good figure and control your diet.

Purely hand-typed, it is not easy, if you feel that the writing can also be rewarded a praise, point a concern, if you have any questions can be left below ......

The development of diabetes is closely related to diet, and for diabetics, a good diet is one of the key aspects of diabetes treatment and can directly affect the development of the condition.

Many people with diabetes are very cautious in their diets and look for high sugar content before eating anything. Of course, in addition to high sugar foods to be controlled, high-fat and high-calorie foods also need to be controlled, which may lead to a sharp rise in blood glucose and induce acute complications of diabetes such as ketoacidosis.

Diabetics can eat foods that are low in sugar and high in dietary fiber, a diet that can effectively reduce insulin sensitivity in the body. Eating less fried food and more steamed, boiled and stewed processed food will help in the recovery of the disease.

What specific foods should diabetics eat less of? Including a variety of sugar, candied fruit, canned fruit, soda, fruit juice, jam, ice cream, sweet cookies, sweet bread and sugar pastries and sugar-free cookies, sugar-free food and so on, basically contain a lot of starch, because these foods are very high in sugar, easy to consume hyperglycemia; it is not appropriate to eat a variety of animal brain, liver, heart, lungs, waist, egg yolks, fat, butter, pork, beef and mutton oil, etc., these foods are prone to elevated blood lipids, atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis; It is not suitable to drink alcohol, alcohol can make blood sugar fluctuations, fasting a lot of alcohol, can occur serious hypoglycemia, and drunkenness can often cover up the performance of hypoglycemia, it is not easy to find, very dangerous.

Thanks for the invitation, Dr. Jing, I hope my answer helps!

China is a major diabetes country, with the number of people suffering from the disease reaching 114 million in 2017 alone.

There has also been a gradual increase in recent years.

Not only is diabetes prevalent in a large number of people, but diabetes control has always been a major challenge for patients.

Not only do patients have to be on a strict dietary regimen, but they also have to be on the lookout for complications at all times, which can be very painful.

Therefore, prevention of diabetes is a top priority.

This 5 kinds of food, is the diabetes "gas pedal", try not to appear in the table, so as not to soar blood sugar

① Taro:

The main ingredient in taro is starch, which is equivalent to the staple food we usually eat. Sugar lovers should not regard taro as a vegetable, but as a staple food. Not only that, taro cooked calories and sugar will rise, easy to make blood sugar rise.

②Potato

Each 100 grams of potatoes containing 17.2 grams of carbohydrates, carbohydrate content is high, and fried potatoes, French fries and other potato practices, after high temperature frying, may produce some benzopyrene and other harmful substances, and the fat content is too high, easy to rise sugar. Not recommended for consumption.

③Lotus root

Lotus root skin is brownish-yellow, short and thick in shape, this vegetable is relatively high in starch, less water, glutinous but not crisp, every 100 grams of lotus root contains 70 kcal of energy, 16.4 grams of carbohydrates, it is very easy to raise blood sugar, it is recommended to avoid eating.

pineapple (Japanese melonpan)

Many people assume that because pineapple tastes tart and sweet, it won't have a high sugar content. But in fact, the sugar content of this fruit is still relatively high. Normally we must pay attention to the specific amount of use when we eat, not because it is delicious to eat too much. Otherwise, it will affect the secretion of insulin in your body.

⑤ Durian

Although the nutrients in durian are high, it contains particularly high levels of sugar, with up to one-third of the sugar in durian, so people who suffer from diabetes should try not to eat durian. And the amount of fat in durian is also very high, consuming too much can lead to obesity, so be sure to keep it in moderation.

5 symptoms, unfortunately, may be diabetes is "out of control!

1, oral problems: such as loose teeth fall off, etc., periodontitis gingivitis, etc..

2. Paralysis of the limbs: If there are frequent paralysis or paroxysms of the hands and legs, and cramps in the calves at night.

3、Hungry from time to time: Hunger is a major feature of the early symptoms of diabetes, such as a sudden increase in appetite and a preference for sweets.

4, weight loss: when pre-diabetes, weight loss can be sudden.

5, dry mouth and tongue: thirst, a typical manifestation of the early symptoms of diabetes.

So how can you prevent diabetes from occurring in your life? Do 4 things to control sugar!

First, it's important to eat right

Eat regularly, especially breakfast must be eaten. Eating breakfast is a great way to control your blood sugar. For breakfast, choose whole grain breads, yogurt, and low-fat cheese.

Eat your vegetables before your meal, a study showed that people with type 2 sugar, or pre-diabetes, who drank two tablespoons of vinegar before eating their main meal (i.e., carbohydrates) had a lower postprandial blood sugar rise. Eating some vegetables before eating also helps with blood sugar control.

Eat less fast food, people who eat fast food regularly are prone to obesity and are equally prone to diabetes.

Second, drink a good tea substitute, lowering sugar, preventing complications

Chinese medicine believes that the middle and late stages of diabetes, the body is mostly Yin deficiency and internal heat, drinking water, put some tea, can delay the occurrence of diabetes complications.

Diabetics have significantly lower levels of selenium in their blood than healthy individuals. Selenium deficiency in the human body is one of the triggers for the development of diabetes, which can lead to a series of diabetes symptoms and complications. Selenium supplementation can, to a certain extent, reduce the high blood glucose level of diabetic patients, which is beneficial to the control of the condition itself, and can prevent the condition from deepening and aggravating.

Ziyang Mao Jian produced in Ziyang selenium-rich ecological valley, the selenium content of 150 μg/kg, than China's non-selenium-rich tea region tea average selenium content is 5.5 times higher, daily brewing 1 ~ 2 cups of Ziyang Mao Jian, the human body can effectively absorb the selenium in the tea.

Three: Exercise in moderation, don't be lazy!

Studies have shown that people who are sedentary for long periods of time have a two times higher risk of diabetes, heart disease or premature death than those who are active.

Therefore, moderate exercise can prevent and delay the onset of diabetes.

Exercise guidelines for diabetes control recommend following the "1357" principle:

Specifically, no less than 30 minutes of exercise on 1 occasion and no less than 5 times per week;

The intensity of exercise should be warm, sweaty but not profuse, and the pulse rate should be controlled at: (170-age), so that the exercise is effective and safe.

Exercise for diabetics is best done by walking, preferably 1 hour after a meal.

4, do not stay up late, adequate sleep

Staying up late can lead to endocrine disruption, abnormal biological clocks, and lowered body immunity.

Moreover, staying up late can also lead to increased fluctuations in blood glucose, which is a cause of increased blood pressure, increasing the burden on the heart and blood glucose, thus inducing the production of diseases.

For diabetics, it is even more important to get enough sleep to promote the body's repair function.

All high carb foods.

Rice and flour, including white rice, brown rice, white flour and whole wheat.

Root foods, potatoes, roots, etc.

Fruits in moderation Avoid tropical high sugar fruits, berries are better.

Many of the breaded and fried foods in Chinese food should also be watched out for.

A lot of extra-sugared foods like canned fruits and candied foods.

Diabetes is extremely dangerous to human health, and this danger occurs unknowingly.

① Diabetic foot

Among the common complications of diabetes, the diabetic foot is the most serious one, which can lead to amputation or life-threatening if not treated in time.

② Diabetic nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the complications of diabetes that leads to a high mortality rate.

③ Diabetes cardiovascular disease

Coronary artery disease usually occurs.

④ Cerebral thrombosis

People with diabetes are very likely to develop cerebral thrombosis, twelve times more likely compared to non-diabetics.

⑤ Cataract

Data show that 30% of cataract patients are diabetic.

This 5 kinds of food, is the diabetes "gas pedal", try not to appear in the table, so as not to soar blood sugar

①Rhombus

High potassium and high starch lozenges contain large amounts of starch and glucose, which, when ingested into the body, tend to cause a sharp rise in blood sugar after meals.

②Toon

To help the yang rising fire to reduce the efficacy of the higher nutritional value, but the toon belongs to the hair, to help the role of yang, suitable for Yang deficiency physique of people to eat. The diabetic friend belongs to the Yin deficiency, hot and dry body, after consuming more likely to aggravate the liver fire, not only on the condition is not beneficial, but can aggravate the condition.

③Chives

Injury to yin to help fire leeks contain volatile oil has a lipid-lowering effect, but leeks belong to the warm food, eat more on fire and not easy to digest, and diabetic patients belong to the yin deficiency fire thriving physique, digestive function is slightly poorer than normal, so it is advisable to eat less. Do not eat more than 50 grams per meal.

④ Beet

High sugar, high fat, high calorie beet in addition to water, is sugar. The high sugar content, ingested into the body will make the blood sugar significantly higher diabetic patients after consumption of blood sugar will be significantly higher.

⑤荸荠

High-sugar and high-starch water chestnut contains a lot of starch, which is converted into glucose in the body, and blood sugar will rise significantly after diabetics consume it. Water chestnut sugar content is also high, diabetes consumption is not conducive to blood sugar control.

Diabetics, These 6 Sugar Control Tips Are Useful

1、Staple food rationing, coarse and fine combinations

For diabetics, there is no absolute ban on staple foods. However, when eating, there are indeed strict requirements for the types and serving sizes of staple foods. In general, it is recommended that the staple food coarse and fine with the consumption of whole grains, mixed legumes accounted for 1 / 3 of the total amount of staple food.

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

The amount and type of fruit consumption, however, have strict requirements. Daily vegetable intake of 300-500 grams, dark vegetables account for more than 1/2, of which no less than 70 grams of green leafy vegetables; the types and colors of fruits should be as diverse as possible.

3. Eat fish and fowl often

Diabetic patients need to eat fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish and poultry in the food often, animal meat in moderation, to reduce the intake of fatty meat. Especially for cured meat products, soy sauce and marinated meat products, smoked and barbecued meat products, smoked sausage and ham products and other processed meats, eat as little as possible.

4. Pay attention to protein intake

People with diabetes should consume a certain amount of milk and soy products every day to get enough high-quality protein and calcium. A daily intake of 300g of fluid milk is particularly recommended, with nuts as an option for impromptu additions.

5. Drink adequate amounts of water and limit alcohol consumption

Water should be consumed in sufficient quantity, and for alcohol intake, the less the better. Drink water with some Ziyang Maojian, which has a sugar-controlling effect.

This is because the tea polysaccharides contained in it are effective in lowering blood sugar through antioxidant action and enhancing glucokinase activity.

Especially the Ziyang Mao Jian produced from the selenium-rich ecological zone, its selenium content is six times more than that of other teas, but also has the national geographic indications certification, the quality of which can be assured.

By drinking tea to supplement selenium, the body can fully absorb its natural organic selenium, which can improve the diabetic glucose tolerance abnormality, the treatment and prevention of diabetes mellitus and its complications have a certain effect.

6. Eating and moving needs to be balanced

For people with diabetes, diet and exercise are equally important, with the ultimate goal of achieving or maintaining a healthy weight. Engage in regular exercise, mainly aerobic, at least three times a week for no less than 20 minutes.
