Chao News client reporter Zheng Jiaying correspondent Zheng Shanshan.
Doctor, is blood sugar measured here? I felt 'high' again, my whole body was weak, and my brain couldn't move. This Spring Festival is coming again, and my blood sugar problem is really annoying.
Recently, in the nursing room of the Chao News Health Station and the Community Health Service Center of Zhuantang Street, Xihu District, Hangzhou, a young man said worriedly, his face was a little pale.
When blood sugar is measured, the postprandial capillary blood glucose is as high as 14mmol L, and the glycosylated hemoglobin is also 111%, indicating very poor glycemic control.
With the Chinese New Year approaching, it has become a challenge to maintain a healthy diet while celebrating the festive season.

During the Spring Festival, every household will prepare sumptuous New Year's goods and delicacies, such as sweets, pastries, nuts, meat, etc. Most of these foods are high in sugar, fat, and calories, which can easily cause blood sugar fluctuations. In addition, frequent gatherings during the Spring Festival make people prone to overeating, which further increases the dietary burden of diabetic patients.
Doctors from the Chao News Health Station and the Zhuantang Sub-district Community Health Service Center in Hangzhou's Xihu District have provided some practical advice to help residents easily cope with a series of dietary problems with diabetes during the Spring Festival.
In general, it is necessary to control the total calories, low sugar, low fat and low calories, and appropriately increase the intake of dietary fiber. Balanced nutrition, eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as fish, lean meat, legumes, etc. Eating habits should follow the principle of "eat well in the morning, eat enough in the afternoon, and eat less in the evening", regularly and quantitatively. During the Spring Festival, the diet is mostly greasy and heavy, and drinking plenty of water can help digestion and prevent constipation.
Nuts and sweets should be in moderation.
Choose strawberries, grapefruits, and low-sugar fruits.
1. Sweets, pastries and other sweets are frequent guests on the Spring Festival table, and diabetics should try to eat less or no food. If it is unavoidable, you can subtract the intake of the corresponding staple food after tasting it in moderation.
2. Nut foods such as peanuts and melon seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which can be eaten in moderation. However, it is important to control your intake as it is higher in calories.
3. During the Spring Festival, there are more entertainments, try to avoid dishes with high salt and oil, such as fried food, pickled food, etc. Choose healthy cooking methods such as steaming and stewing.
4. Fruits are rich in vitamins and fiber, and can be eaten in moderation by diabetics. But be careful to choose low-sugar fruits, such as grapefruit, strawberries, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to control your intake.
5. Maintain a regular schedule and avoid staying up late and overwork. Moderate exercise and enhanced blood sugar monitoring can also effectively control blood sugar.

Avoiding meat and staple foods is not conducive to blood sugar control.
Many sugar friends think that they can control their blood sugar by not eating staple foods, but they are actually wrong. "Although staple foods are the main blood sugar main**, not eating staple foods at all is not conducive to diabetes control. ”
Doctors remind diabetics to choose staple foods with a low glycemic index (GI), such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, etc., and eat them in moderation.
In the outpatient clinic, there are also patients who have the misconception that "you can control blood sugar without eating meat", meat is the main ** of high-quality protein, and not eating meat at all will lead to malnutrition. Diabetics should choose low-fat meats such as lean meat and poultry and eat them in moderation.
In addition, alcohol consumption may interfere with the normal diet and medications** of people with diabetes, which can be detrimental to blood sugar control. People with diabetes should try to avoid drinking alcohol or drinking small amounts of low-alcohol alcohol.
The Spring Festival is a time of reunion and a feast of food. I hope that every sugar friend can enjoy the food while keeping blood sugar stable and have a healthy and happy Spring Festival.
