Is it correct to say that diabetics can't eat rice these days?

Earlier there was such a statement, that rice is high in carbohydrates, especially refined white rice, and is not advocated for diabetics to prevent the rise in blood sugar.

At present, the dietary treatment plan for diabetic patients is very divergent in opinion and it is difficult to reach unity. The total tendency to change the original low sugar treatment principle, to moderately increase the amount of sugar in the diet. Unanimously advocate the use of polysaccharides, that is, mainly refers to a variety of grains, corn, beans, rice-based diet, more conducive to diabetic patients to control blood glucose and protect the function of the pancreatic islets.

This shows that diabetics have no problem eating rice.

I'm happy to answer that this statement is clearly incorrect.

If diabetics can't eat rice, where else can they eat? Dietitians just do not advocate sugar lovers to eat a single rice, because the composition of white rice is mainly starch, after eating will quickly rise blood sugar. But sugar friends as long as the coarse grains with fine grains to eat, you can greatly reduce the rate of glycemic rice. So it's not that sugar lovers can't eat rice, but they should be more skillful to eat rice.

Dietitians advocate that sugar lovers need to increase their intake of whole grains in moderation, and studies have shown that increased intake of whole grains is beneficial in preventing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity. We sugar lovers need to control our diet strictly, but often feel hungry, and coarse grains can be a good solution to this problem. Eating equal calories of whole grains is more hunger-resistant compared to refined staples such as rice, noodles and buns! And whole grains are much richer in all types of vitamins and minerals, which can make up for the nutritional deficiencies caused by dietary control in sugar lovers. And eating whole grains can increase dietary fiber intake and prevent constipation.

So what are some roughages that are good to eat with rice?

1. Oats: rich in soluble dietary fiber, can be absorbed and discharged in large quantities of cholesterol, but also to reduce blood sugar levels.

2. Buckwheat: also rich in dietary fiber, buckwheat magnesium, but also to promote sodium metabolism, help regulate blood pressure. Buckwheat contains rutin substances, but also to promote blood circulation.

3. Job's tears: rich in B vitamins and vitamin E, can expand blood vessels, hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol have a certain therapeutic effect. Job's tears can promote water retention and swelling, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and can alleviate the swelling and muscle fatigue caused by the three highs.

4. Black rice: high fiber content, low glycemic index, and its contained potassium, magnesium and other minerals help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with three highs.

Sugar lovers must know, although good, but also can not eat a lot of food, because of its high fiber content, eat more may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, long-term large quantities of food will also affect the body's absorption of minerals. So coarse grains is not more good, and should be with fine grains to eat, generally coarse grains and fine grains ratio of 1:3.

Sugar man health network, a temperature control of sugar platform, welcome to pay attention to the questions and answers!

Perhaps doctors and sugar lovers will identify me as a rebel, I think what can be eaten can be eaten, just pay attention to the amount of the problem, I just for the so-called prescription, secret formula, natural sugar-lowering formula do not eat (do not have the money to buy). I'm over 60 years old, nearly 20 years of sugar, never taboo this can not eat, that can not touch, the doctor's words to listen to, but can not listen to all of them, the same DM more than 10 years of physicians to the newly DM patients diagnosis and prescription, right? He is also a doctor first and then DM, right? Complications will come as the disease progresses, and no one can say with certainty that if you control your blood sugar, there will be no complications, they will just come later. I admire people who have been able to keep their blood sugar in the normal range for decades, but I don't admire people who are afraid to eat anything to control their sugar, and I don't think it's a good idea to live a few more decades rather than living a "miserable" life. I recently had a physical examination and my glycemic index was 7.4, and I am on both long and short acting insulin, so I use it as much as I need to. In the past two years, I walked 4,000 kilometers, because of long-term medication, their liver function, blood creatinine, urine protein indicators or to pay attention to.
