Type 2 diabetes has too much to do with "eating". However, on the issue of "eating", many sugar friends still have many misunderstandings. They mistakenly think that if they refrain from eating some foods they shouldn't, they can stabilize their blood sugar, but is that really the case? For this reason, today I will explain to you the "three don't eat" of sugar friends, do this, blood sugar can really be stabilized?
1. Don't eat sugar.
Sugar friends always ask me, I never eat sweet, why is my blood sugar high? In fact, there is no necessary link between eating sugar and diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that is genetically linked to the environment. Therefore, eating more sugar does not necessarily mean that you will not have diabetes, and not eating sugar does not necessarily mean that you will not have diabetes. Of course, sugar is really not something to eat, and eating too much will cause obesity and a series of others.
Obesity can lead to a significantly higher incidence of diabetes.
If you are already diabetic, of course you can't eat too much sugar. Special attention needs to be paid to so-called sugar-free foods. Sugar-free foods only do not contain direct sugar, but it does not mean that people will not convert to sugar after ingestion. In fact, sugar-free foods are mostly starchy foods that are converted into glucose very quickly after ingestion.
2. Don't eat staple foods.
Staple foods are easy to raise blood sugar, so sugar friends make their own decisions not to eat staple foods, thinking that in this way blood sugar will be "obedient". Protein, fat, and carbohydrates are the three major types of nutrients that the human body needs, among which the main energy supply substance is carbohydrates, and the main component of staple food is carbohydrates. Not to mention that not eating staple foods can lead to malnutrition. Proteins and lipids.
After the fat is absorbed by the body, it will eventually be converted into glucose for energy. Therefore, it is a complete fallacy to think that eating only protein and fat without eating staple foods will not raise blood sugar. In fact, the same weight of protein and fat is higher in calories than carbohydrates.
3. Don't eat fruits.
Some sugar friends think that fruits are sweet, so they can't be eaten. Even the cause of diabetes is blamed on the fruit.
In fact, there is no absolute relationship between whether a fruit is sweet or not and the sugar it contains, and sugar friends do not need to be "lifelong immune" to the fruit. In fact, fruits are rich in nutrients, many of which are necessary for the human body, and if they are missing, they can suffer from various diseases.
It is recommended that sugar friends try to choose low-GI fruits, such as strawberries, apples, pears, oranges, and other common fruits that can be eaten. When blood sugar is high, cucumbers and tomatoes can also be chosen instead of fruits. The amount of fruit is about 200g per day, and it should be eaten in the middle of two meals.
The doctor concluded: sugar friends often have some misunderstandings in terms of diet. You know, it's not that if you don't eat sugar, staple foods, or fruits, your blood sugar won't rise.
