Obviously not eating sugar, why is blood sugar still "out of control"? These 4 things on the table are more dangerous than sugar

"Diseases of affluence", we first think of the word: "diabetes"!

Diabetes is one of the high incidence of chronic diseases in China, the total number of patients has reached about 120 million, and this data is still rising.

In all patients with diabetes, more than 90% of them belong to type 2 diabetes, its genetic disease is only one aspect, more actually with the patient acquired bad life and eating habits, obesity and other factors!

Many people are confused by the name of "diabetes" and think that diabetes is nothing more than eating too much sugar!

However, is this really the case?

First of all, we need to understand that sugar is an important essential nutrient for the human body, and it is the main source of energy consumption.

After sugar enters the body, it can also be converted into other carbonaceous compounds, such as amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids and so on. There are various forms of sugar. Besides glucose and lactose, the most sugar we eat is actually starch from plants!

All kinds of sugar will be hydrolyzed to monosaccharide, which can be absorbed by the body, enter the blood circulation, and provide to the tissue cells of the whole body.

Therefore, not all sugar is sweet. When you are eating rice, steamed bread and other food, in fact, the essence is to eat "sugar"!

From a scientific point of view, high blood sugar is not as simple as eating too much sugar.

There are two main reasons for the increase of blood glucose. The first is that the function of pancreatic islets is damaged, unable to secrete more insulin. The second is that insulin secretion is normal or even high, but tissue cells are not sensitive to insulin, which is clinically called "insulin resistance"!

Therefore, the nature of diabetes has nothing to do with eating sugar.

If it has to be related to sugar, it is that the usual intake of "sugar" is too much, which leads to the accumulation of fat in the body and the appearance of obesity. Obesity triggers insulin resistance and finally induces diabetes!

However, after the detection of elevated blood glucose and the diagnosis of diabetes, it is necessary to adjust the diet.

Diabetics should try to reduce the consumption of the following kinds of food:

1. Refined grain

After repeated processing of refined food, the taste is really very good, but it often adds a certain amount of sugar and oil.

Delicate foods are easier to digest and absorb by the stomach and intestines, which can easily cause blood sugar fluctuations in a short time. Therefore, diabetics should try to reduce the intake of refined foods, coarse grains and other foods at ordinary times, and focus on foods rich in dietary fiber, which can delay gastrointestinal absorption and improve fatty acid and cholesterol content in the body.

2. Sweets

Sweets include a wide range, such as cake, bread, butter, processed juice, drinks, etc. This kind of food contains a lot of "artificial fructose syrup", which will be quickly absorbed by the body after entering the body, leading to fluctuations in blood sugar.

Cake desserts, there are excessive fat, and diabetics weight control adverse, so this kind of food should be reduced as far as possible.

3. "Salty"

Maybe everyone's injury to salty stays in the aspect of high blood pressure.

But in fact, too salty food is not beneficial to diabetic patients, which may cause the emergence of diabetes complications, including hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, etc.

Therefore, diabetics should try to reduce the consumption of processed meat, pickled food and convenience food with excessive salt content.

4. High starch

Many diabetics make a fatal mistake in their choice of food. They think that as long as they are not sweet, deep-fried or stir-fried, they will not lead to blood sugar fluctuations.

But as mentioned above, there are many forms of sugar. Starch is the sugar we eat most, with 351 kilocalories per 100 grams of calories. For example, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and other foods contain starch.

We should reasonably calculate the calorie intake of food. We should not think that starch is safe. After eating potatoes and sweet potatoes, we should reduce the intake of other staple foods.

In short, for patients with diabetes, the principle of diet is light, low calorie, low food intake.

No matter what type it is and whether the glycemic index is high or low, diabetics should control the daily food intake and reasonably calculate the calories, so as to avoid the fluctuation of blood sugar caused by unhealthy diet.
