Hi friends!Did you know?Diabetics can't eat sugar!Sugar here refers to simple sugars such as monosaccharides and disaccharides. It may sound strange, but there's a reason for it.
If you think about it, normal people's blood sugar will also rise after eating, but the insulin in the body will respond quickly and lower the blood sugar. But in diabetic patients, their insulin secretion is insufficient or not at all, so when their blood sugar rises, they can't lower it as quickly as a normal person. High blood sugar is harmful to the body and may lead to acute and chronic complications
Moreover, high blood sugar also has a toxic effect on pancreatic islets, which will make the islets function worse, which forms a vicious circle. So, diabetics still obediently don't eat sugar.
Then you may ask, can the sugars of sucrose, maltose and fructose be edible?Don't worry, I'll explain it to you. These sugars are broken down into glucose in the body, so diabetics still can't eat it. Some people think that fructose is not glucose, but stimulates insulin secretion, so it can be eaten. However, the structure of fructose is very similar to glucose, and it is easily converted into glucose in the body, so it should not be eaten more.
Then think about it, what are the foods that diabetics should not eat?That's right!It is white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, maltose, fruit sugar, chocolate sugar, honey (including larger doses of honey pill Chinese medicine), candied fruit, sugary drinks, sugary pastries and so on.
Therefore, diabetics should pay attention to their diet!Don't hurt your body because you eat something you shouldn't eat because you're greedy. I hope this knowledge can help you better manage your health!
