China is a big country with diabetes, and hundreds of millions of people are suffering from diabetes. Uncle He is 62 years old this year, and he was also diagnosed with diabetes during the physical examination arranged by his son two months ago. When he was first diagnosed with diabetes, Uncle He was dismissive, thinking that diabetes was only a chronic disease and would not cause any harm to the body, so I don't control my diet very much, and I don't even take hypoglycemic drugs every day, I always eat every other day.
A month laterUncle He fainted because of the sharp rise in blood sugar, was taken to the hospital by family and friends.
After the doctor's popular science, Uncle He knew the severity of diabetes and began to strictly control his diet. High-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie food, Uncle He has never touched it again, and he insists on taking medicine every dayAfter persisting for a month, Uncle He's blood sugar finally stabilized.
Just yesterday, when Uncle He was walking with his friends, he talked about the foods that diabetics should pay attention toA friend told Uncle He that diabetics should eat less eggs, otherwise their blood sugar will rise. Uncle He didn't believe it, Uncle He said that he now has to eat an egg every few days, and his blood sugar has not risen
The friend said that he also listened to others, and it happened that Uncle He was going to the hospital for a re-examination the next day, so the friend asked Uncle He to consult a doctor.
The next morning, Uncle He went straight to the hospital for a follow-up, and after the doctor examined Uncle He, he told Uncle He that his blood sugar is now well controlled, and as long as he continues to persevere, there is basically no major problem.
Uncle He was very happy after hearing this, and hurriedly said that he would definitely continue to persevere. Then, Uncle He asked again, I heard a friend say that diabetics can't eat eggs, is this true?
The doctor said that diabetics can eat eggs, but they need to pay attention to the amount and practice.
In fact, many diabetics are like Uncle He, wondering if they can eat eggsThe doctor said that diabetics can eat eggs, but they should pay attention to the amount and practice.
The reason why diabetics feel that they can't eat eggs is mainly because,The yolk of eggs contains a lot of cholesterol, and diabetics consume too much cholesterol, which is not good for blood sugar control.
But eggs contain a lot of protein in addition to cholesterol.
Protein is very important for our human body, protein is not only an important component of many of our organs and tissues, it can also help us enhance immunity and prevent diseases.
If there is a lack of protein, people will become very weak, and if they are not careful, they will contract various diseases, and organs such as the brain and liver will also have problems due to the lack of protein. Therefore, diabetics can also eat eggs appropriately, and eating eggs can supplement protein and other nutrients. Diabetics must pay attention to the amount of eggs when eating them
Some diabetics prefer to eat 2 eggs at breakfast, and if there is no other meat in the patient's lunch and dinner after eating 2 eggs for breakfast, then it will have no effect on blood sugar. However, if you eat 2 eggs for breakfast and eat a lot of meat for lunch and dinner, it will affect your blood sugar and cause your blood sugar to rise. Therefore, diabetics must pay attention to the amount when eating eggsAfter eating 2 eggs for breakfast, reduce the amount of meat for lunch and dinner
At the same time, the doctor advisesDiabetic patients are not recommended to eat eggs every day if they are accompanied by elevated LDL cholesterol or total cholesterol, and can eat 2 eggs a week, or a small amount of protein
Diabetics should also pay attention to the practice when making eggs. Many people like to scrambled eggs, or fried poached eggs to eat, but the protein absorption rate of eggs made by these two methods is low, and the cholesterol in the eggs will be significantly oxidized
After listening to the doctor's answer, Uncle He suddenly became enlightened, so diabetics can still eat eggs, just in moderation, and try not to eat fried eggs and scrambled eggs. Uncle He said that after he went back, he explained to his friends and asked them not to refuse to eat eggs anymore.
The doctor stopped Uncle He and said that since he had already talked about this, he still had to tell Uncle He a few more words, if he didn't want his blood sugar to rise, he would have to touch these 3 foods less in his daily life.
The daily care of diabetic patients has a lot to do with diet, if the diet is not strictly controlled, then it will be difficult to control blood sugar, so if diabetic patients do not want to raise blood sugar, the following 3 foods must be touched less.
1) Sweetened Drinks:
After being diagnosed with diabetes, many diabetics will try to reduce their intake of beverages, or simply buy "sugar-free" drinks, but there are themMany "sugar-free" beverages launched by manufacturers are not really sugar-free drinks, but drinks with added artificial sweeteners。This drink may seem healthy, but it is actually very harmful, especially when it comes to the risk of type 2 diabetes.
After analyzing and comparing multiple data, Drouin-Chartier researchers found that the sugar-sweetened drinks we drink can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by about 28%, while "sugar-free" drinks that appear to be sugar-free but have artificial sweeteners can increase the risk of diabetes by 29%.
Therefore,Doctors recommend that diabetics should not drink sweetened drinks, whether they are labeled "sugar-free" or not, because this may lead to high blood sugar and diabetes complications. Even if it is 100% pure fruit juice, drinking too much can cause blood sugar fluctuations because pure fruit juice has a high sugar content and the juice has a high glycemic index
There are also some canned fruits, which are also best avoided by diabetics. In the process of making canned fruit, in order to retain the taste of the fruit, a large amount of sugar will be added, and eating canned fruit will also cause blood sugar to rise, which is not good for the body.
Seeing this, some people may ask, so can diabetics drink dairy products?
The Drouin-Chartier study showsDairy products can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes, and inadequate intake of dairy products can increase the risk of developing diabetes. Therefore, doctors suggest that everyone can eat some sugar-free dairy products appropriately, such as sugar-free yogurt, low-fat milk, and so on
2) Foods that are too salty:
Such as bacon, sausage, salted fish, etc., many people only know that patients with high blood pressure can not eat too much and too salty food, but in fact, diabetics cannot eat too much and too salty food. A large amount of salt is added to too salty food, and if the human body does not drink water in time after ingesting a large amount of salt, it will lead to an increase in sodium content in the human body, a disorder of salt metabolism, and a sign of dehydration in diabetic patients, which is not good for health
Many diabetic patients will be accompanied by symptoms of renal insufficiency, if you eat too much salty food, it may lead to complications of glomerulosclerosis in the kidneys, which will increase the burden on the kidneys and lead to other kidney diseases. In more severe cases, hyperosmolar nonketotic coma may occur, which can be life-threatening.
Therefore, doctors recommend that diabetic patients should never eat too much salty food, and when they really want to eat, they can occasionally eat a little bit to relieve their cravings, but they should never eat it every day.
3) High-fat and high-calorie foods:
There are many high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as barbecue, skewers, fried skewers, fried foods, etc., which have always been the favorite of the people. However, high-fat and high-calorie foods should not be eaten much by diabetics. High-fat and high-calorie foods contain a lot of fat, and excessive intake can easily lead to obesity. At the same time, fat can also reduce the body's sensitivity to insulin, aggravate insulin resistance, and cause blood sugar to fluctuate violently
Some people prefer to eat animal offal, but for diabetics, animal offal should also be eaten less, because animal offal is rich in cholesterol, and eating too much is not conducive to blood sugar stability. Diabetic patients should eat more fresh vegetables and low-sugar fruits in their daily life, and they should pay attention to balanced nutrition and not be picky eaters.
Of course, in addition to this, it is also necessary to maintain a regular daily routine. Eat regularly and quantitatively, eat small and frequent meals, do not overeat, or eat a full meal and a hungry meal, which is not good for the stomach and is not conducive to blood sugar control. Exercise should also be regular and quantitative, and it is best to fix a fixed exercise time every day to form a habit, which will help lower blood sugar.
Diabetic patients should also maintain emotional stability, as excessive emotional changes can easily cause violent fluctuations in blood sugar, so do not usually have too large emotional fluctuations. When encountering things, you should first adjust your mentality to avoid emotional excitement and other situations. It is also necessary to maintain an adequate sleep, if you do not get enough sleep, it will also lead to mood swings.
One of the most important aspects of diabetic life is the need for enhanced blood glucose monitoring. If there is an opportunity, it is recommended that every diabetic patient should bring their own blood glucose meter, monitor their blood sugar on time and point every day, and record the blood sugar value, especially the blood sugar value at about 2-3 o'clock at night, which is more important.
Diabetics can eat eggs, but they must eat them in moderation, don't eat too much, and pay attention to the practice of eggs. Sweetened drinks, high-fat and high-calorie foods, and foods that are too salty are the foods that diabetics should eat less in their daily lives. If you are like Uncle He and encounter unclear problems, you can consult a doctor in time and seek help from a doctor, and don't think about it alone.
