Eating bitter gourd and okra will not lower blood sugar! Diabetes these 6 rumors, the doctor told you at one-time

Presumably, many diabetics have heard the similar saying that "diabetes is caused by eating", and simply feel that since it is a disease caused by eating, you can eat it back.

As a result, many patients with diabetes have heard that diabetes can be treated by dietotherapy, and they always want to rely on all kinds of food and health preserving channels to cure.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for diabetes patients who can be cured by diet therapy.

How many of these 6 rumors about diabetes do you believe?

1. Diabetes can't eat fruit

The sugar content of most fruits is really high, but it also depends on what kind of fruits, such as apples, figs and oranges, are edible.

The sugar of these fruits is absorbed evenly and slowly by the human body, and they all contain a variety of vitamins and dietary fiber, which can also effectively improve the constipation of patients.

However, diabetic patients must grasp the appropriate time, amount and variety when eating fruits. 

In addition, it is worth noting that diabetics want to eat fruit, it is necessary to reduce the amount of staple food.

2. Eat less for diabetes

Steamed bread, noodles, rice itself is not sweet.

The reason why diabetics can't eat too much is that their main ingredient is starch, which will be converted into glucose after eating, thus affecting the normal secretion of insulin.

But if you don't eat for a long time, or if you eat a small amount of food, the carbohydrate in your body will be insufficient, which will easily cause the decrease of insulin, which will affect the blood glucose.

3. Bitter gourd and okra can reduce blood sugar

In fact, these two kinds of food are not hypoglycemic, because they only have low glycemic index and high dietary fiber, which are more suitable for diabetic patients, but they do not have hypoglycemic effect.

4. Sugar-free food can reduce blood sugar

Many of the sugar-free foods we can usually buy are actually without adding glucose or sucrose, but the raw materials of the food still have a certain sugar content, which will still affect the blood sugar after eating.

When you eat sugar-free food, you should not overdo it. The sugar content will also accumulate. It is even more nonsense to rely on them to lower blood sugar.

5. People with diabetes can't have porridge

Porridge has a soft taste and can quickly improve blood sugar.

For example, we can buy eight treasure porridge and black rice porridge. In order to make them taste better, businesses will add some extra soup. These can really affect blood sugar. Diabetics should not eat more.

But it doesn't mean that you can't drink any porridge. As long as you don't drink too rotten porridge and add some grains in porridge to slow down the rise of blood sugar, it won't lead to the rise of blood sugar too fast.

6. You can't eat any food with sweet taste

Maybe many friends still think that eating too much food with sweet taste will lead to diabetes. In fact, the cause of diabetes is a combination of many factors.

Many foods with sweet taste may not affect blood sugar, such as strawberries, oranges, kiwifruit and grapefruit. Although they taste sweet, their glycemic index is very slow.

But diabetics should pay attention to some details of eating food, not everything can not be eaten, all food with sweet taste should be banned.

In fact, as long as the reasonable arrangement of eating time and dosage, food with sweet taste can also be enjoyed.

Therefore, diabetics must listen to the doctor's advice, only scientific and reasonable advice is the most suitable for recovery.

Instead of blindly believing what the so-called experts on TV or the various links forwarded in the group say, these are just for the purpose of promoting their own drugs or earning the amount of forwarding, and they don't have the experience and qualification to treat diabetes at all.

Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, follow the doctor's advice, is the most correct choice of diabetics.
