Hello everyone, I am a diabetic, and today I would like to share with you some scientific and practical dietary modification methods that I have learned through blood glucose records. Hopefully, these experiences and recommendations will help more people effectively prevent diabetes and control blood sugar levels.
First of all, blood glucose records are very important for people with diabetes. By keeping track of our blood sugar levels, we can better understand our physical condition and make dietary adjustments accordingly. Below, I'll share some of the experiences and lessons I've learned from my blood glucose records. Control your carbohydrate intake.
Carbohydrate intake in the diet of people with diabetes is essential for blood sugar control. By keeping track of the amount of carbohydrates I consume each day, I found that controlling my carbohydrate intake in moderation can significantly reduce blood sugar fluctuations. I choose foods with a low GI (glycemic index), such as whole wheat bread, brown rice and legumes, and try to limit my intake of staple foods. Eat a balanced diet.
It is very important to maintain a balanced diet. By keeping track of the food composition of each meal, I found that consuming the right amount of protein, fat, and fiber at each meal helped me control my blood sugar. I would choose lean meats, fish and soy products for protein**, choose healthy fats such as olive oil and nuts, and increase my intake of vegetables and fruits. Control blood sugar after meals.
Postprandial blood glucose levels are especially important for people with diabetes. By recording blood sugar levels after meals, I found that proper control of blood sugar after meals can keep blood sugar stable. To achieve this, I would choose to eat slowly, reduce my intake of high-sugar foods, avoid sitting or lying down to rest immediately after meals, and take a walk for a while after meals. Use sugar substitutes wisely.
As diabetics, using sugar substitutes can help us meet our sweet tooth cravings while reducing sugar intake. By documenting my use of sugar substitutes, I learned that different types of sugar substitutes have different effects on my blood sugar personally. I will choose a sugar substitute that suits me according to the situation and use it sparingly. Limit alcohol consumption appropriately.
Drinking alcohol can have an effect on blood sugar. After keeping track of my blood sugar, I found that controlling the amount of alcohol I drink in moderation is very important to stabilize my blood sugar. I would choose low-alcohol alcohol and be mindful of when and how often I drink. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to appropriate foods when drinking alcohol to avoid excessive alcohol consumption that causes violent fluctuations in blood sugar.
To sum up, I have learned a lot of scientific and practical ways to adjust my diet through blood sugar records. Controlling carbohydrate intake, maintaining a balanced diet, controlling blood sugar after meals, using sugar substitutes wisely, and controlling alcohol consumption appropriately are all very important. I hope that these experiences will be helpful to everyone and can arouse more people's attention and attention to diabetes.
