Diabetics must eat the right amount of vegetables. Vegetables rich in
cellulose, such as with staple food consumed in a meal at the same
time, can reduce hunger, but also play a role in reducing postprandial
hyperglycemia in diabetes, nutrition therapy plays an important role.
Suitable for diabetics to eat vegetables and low sugar content as
well. Sugar content of several vegetables, only 1% to 3%: cabbage,
bitter gourd, spinach, rape, celery, leeks, cabbage, chicken feathers
vegetables, cucumber, melon, eggplant, tomato, gourd, wild rice,
bamboo shoots, cauliflower, zucchini, green bean sprouts, fresh
mushrooms.
The following is about 4% sugar content of vegetables: carrot, bell
pepper, pumpkin.
Slightly higher than 4% of sugar are: beans, lentils, carrots, garlic.
Sugar content of potatoes up to 20%, such as eating potatoes, the
staple food of the amount must be deducted proportionally.
In a variety of vegetables, is particularly worth mentioning is that
cabbage, bitter gourd and pumpkin.
Cabbage is very low sugar content, but slightly sweet, and many
patients can not eat cabbage, which is a common misconception.
Slightly bitter gourd, which contain particularly rich in vitamin C
per 100 grams in the content as high as 84 mg, much higher than other
vegetables, enough for a day's requirement of ordinary people. The
researchers isolated from bitter melon insulin-like substances, animal
experiments have hypoglycemic effect. So, bitter melon is often used
as a diabetes diet food, but its hypoglycemic effect of the human body
remains to be further studied.
Pumpkin, also known as pumpkin is one of the vegetables. It is rich in
dietary fiber (including hemicellulose, pectin, etc.), is suitable for
diabetic patients to eat vegetables. However, a considerable number of
diabetic patients to eat pumpkins can be turned into a "diabetic
patients should eat pumpkin," and even Yan into "eat pumpkins can
treat diabetes," which is obviously a misunderstanding. Pumpkin is not
the treatment of diabetes, "special food", like the pumpkin and other
vegetables, but also can produce heat with the sugar and protein and
other substances, so when you have to calculate the consumption of
heat, follow the "diabetic food exchange copies of law" principle, can
be with other vegetables, "exchange", so as not to eat pumpkin leaving
the total calorie intake too much, affect blood sugar control. How to
exchange? Roughly speaking, such as 100 Kernan eat melon, it was minus
100 Keluo Bo or bell pepper; or minus 50 grams of carrots or garlic;
or minus 200 grams of cabbage or a cucumber ... ... according to the
sugar content of various vegetables and so on.
