Let your blood sugar get out of control more than sugar! If you don't want to be a "sugar man", you'd better avoid it!

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease, and its incidence rate is high in life. After suffering from diabetes, the primary task is to control the blood glucose level, however, many patients have misunderstandings in the treatment of diabetes.

In life, many patients feel that diabetes is related to eating sugar, so they begin to strictly control the intake of sweets, and refuse sugar such as white sugar and brown sugar. But even so, blood sugar is still not controlled as expected, but is getting higher and higher. What's the matter?

Do not eat sugar, why the higher the increase in diabetes

The reason why this happens is that patients fall into the "sweet" trap. Many patients only focus on sugar food, but they don't know that compared with sugar and other sugar food, there is another kind of food that is also the "culprit" of diabetes, which can lead to the rapid rise of blood sugar level, that is starchy food!

In Chinese people's three meals a day, staple food is essential, and Chinese staple food is mostly rice, noodles and other starchy food, the main component of this kind of food is refined carbohydrates, this kind of food after entering the intestine, can be decomposed into glucose, leading to increased blood sugar levels.

Therefore, if you want to control the blood sugar level, you should not only control the intake of carbohydrate food, but also control the intake of staple food. It is suggested that corn, sweet potato, oats and other coarse cereals should be used instead of staple food to maintain the stability of blood glucose.

In addition to limiting the intake of starchy foods, the following foods should also be strictly controlled!

1. High salt food

Excessive intake of high salt food can induce hypertension and aggravate diabetic complications. The daily intake of salt in diabetic patients should be controlled within 3 grams. They should eat less salted vegetables, bacon, ham and other foods. They can eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement dietary fiber for the body, which is conducive to promoting the metabolism of fat and sugar and reducing weight.

2. High fat, high protein food

Diabetic patients have the problem of metabolic disorder of fat, sugar and protein, and are easy to develop cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we must strictly control the intake of animal viscera, fat meat, egg yolk and other high-fat, high cholesterol food in life, so as to avoid causing hyperlipidemia.

In addition, most patients with diabetes mellitus complicated with diabetic nephropathy, so we should reduce the protein intake, so as not to increase the burden on the kidney.

3. Spicy food

Most diabetics have Yin deficiency and dry heat. Spicy foods such as mustard, ginger, chili and pepper are warm, which can consume Yin fluid and aggravate the phenomenon of dry heat. Therefore, we should reduce consumption at ordinary times.

4. Alcoholic drink

The nature of alcoholic drink is pungent and hot, which will affect the body's energy metabolism and aggravate the condition of diabetes. Diabetic patients need to take hypoglycemic drugs for a long time. If they drink alcohol while taking medicine, it can lead to sudden decrease of blood glucose, induce hypoglycemia, and affect the treatment effect of the disease. Moreover, ethanol can accelerate the metabolism of drugs, and also affect the efficacy of drugs. Therefore, patients with diabetes should resolutely abstain from alcohol.

In a word, for patients with diabetes, if we only control the intake of sugar, but starchy food, alcoholic drink, high salt and high fat food are still welcome, blood sugar level can not be effectively controlled. Only the above foods are strictly controlled, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat more dietary fiber, and actively exercise, Only in this way can blood glucose be kept stable and complications be avoided.
