The Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are many meals during the Spring Festival, and diabetics can consider using the "food exchange" method to flexibly control their diet. A common approach is to classify foods according to the nutrients and calories they provide, with different types of food exchange units providing the same unit of calories. Moreover, different foods can be substituted with each other, so that diabetic patients can achieve a reasonable dietary balance and food diversity on the basis of controlling their total calorie intake.
Diabetics should not exceed 250 grams of staple food per day. If you feel hungry again, you can add vegetables that are high in fiber and can lower blood sugar, such as onions, celery, kelp, spinach, etc. Protein non-staple foods such as soy products, milk, lean meat, etc. can be eaten, with an intake** of 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day; Pregnant women, lactating women, malnutrition, and co-infected women should receive 1 per kilogram of body weight per day2 to 15 grams; For children, it is 2 to 3 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. Fat intake should be tailored to the patient's specific situation, generally 0. per kilogram of body weight per day6 to 1 gram, the total is about 50 to 60 grams. Obese patients should eat less fatty food, not more than 40 grams per day, emaciated patients can increase the amount of fat correspondingly, but in principle, not more than double the sugar. In addition, a variety of vegetable oils should be used as cooking oils. Limit the intake of foods high in cholesterol such as cerebrospinal cord, egg yolk, fish eggs, and animal offal to reduce blood lipid content, improve blood viscosity, and prevent hypertension and coronary heart disease. Because after the reduction of staple food, vitamin B1 intake will be insufficient, and it is easy to produce symptoms such as numbness of hands and feet, so coarse grains, beans, brown rice and other foods rich in vitamin B1 can be given.
Diabetics should keep the following precautions in mind during the holiday season to steadily control blood sugar fluctuations.
The first point is not to stop the drug, it is very dangerous for diabetic patients to stop the drug, which can cause and aggravate large fluctuations in blood sugar, and in severe cases, it can form acute complications such as ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar coma.
The second point is to drink alcohol in moderation, the Spring Festival is coming, diabetic patients can also drink a small amount of alcohol if necessary based on stable blood sugar control; It is recommended to drink only 1 to 2 times a week, and the amount of drinking should be strictly controlled, and a small amount of rice wine and wine with health effects can be appropriately drunk.
Cigarettes contain nicotine, nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar and other chemicals that are harmful to the human body, which have direct damage to diabetics and patients with chronic diseases, and are easy to induce various complications of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, nervous system and respiratory system.
During the Chinese New Year, some diabetic patients think that they can "neutralize" the effect of elevated blood sugar by increasing the dose of hypoglycemic drugs after eating and drinking, but in fact, this idea and practice are wrong. Because increasing the dose of hypoglycemic drugs without the consent of the doctor can cause blood sugar fluctuations, and even lead to hypoglycemia or other *** occurrence.
The fifth point is that you can't stay up late to sleep, the TV station has a lot of dramas during the Chinese New Year, and diabetics must be able to withstand "** Don't stay up late to chase dramas." Don't play mahjong and cards all night at the party. Festive entertainment is indispensable, but sleep must be ***
Sixth, the movement cannot be stopped, and the movement should be increased appropriately. Diabetic patients should consciously increase the amount of exercise, the simplest is to take a walk every morning and evening. No matter how many "programs" there are every day during the Spring Festival, you should also remind yourself to take at least 30 minutes for a walk in the morning and evening.
The seventh point is to drink plenty of water and eat more fruits. Diabetics should drink plenty of water, both during normal times and during festivals. If the water in the human body is insufficient, it will cause blood concentration to rise, and the fruit is rich in soluble cellulose pectin, which forms mucosity with glucose after touching water in the gastrointestinal tract, which can slow down the absorption of sugar and reduce blood sugar and insulin levels after meals.
The eighth point is to strengthen blood sugar monitoring to prevent accidents, when traveling or visiting relatives and friends in other places during the Spring Festival, you should prepare common medicines in advance, check blood sugar and blood pressure in the morning, and monitor blood sugar values regularly after meals. Observe your hands and feet every day for abnormalities, and if you find a sudden increase in blood sugar, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
