The key is to control the total caloric diet:

"Many patients have asked me, what to eat and what not to eat. Diet is indeed the basis for the treatment of diabetes, some patients with mild diabetes by diet alone, you can put down to a normal level of blood sugar. But control is not prohibited, Even the high-sugar, high fat, high-calorie foods can also taste, but never too much. "

So, what is excessive? "Quantity" is the total daily consumption of calories, it is associated with the standard weight. Standard weight = height (cm) -105 (kg). For example, if a person is 170 cm tall, the standard weight is 65 kg. Average person at rest per kg standard body weight per day under the heat required should be 20 kcal to 25 kcal, manual workers and 30 kcal to 35 kcal. So, under normal circumstances, the standard weight of 65 kg of the total daily consumption of calories people is (20 ~ 25) 65 = 1300 ~ 1625 kcal, a greater amount of exercise or do manual labor is (30 ~ 35) 65 = 1950 ~ 2275 kcal.

"One day the two rice to eat 1 to 2, 3 and 6 two-meat, 3 to 4 spoons of oil, 6 grams of salt, is more appropriate intake of people with diabetes. If you do not eat, you can basically unchanged in the total on the basis of the heat to fruits, vegetables, oats and other Tiandu Zi, and then be increased exercise, increased consumption. "

Pay attention to food's "glycemic index"

To effectively control blood sugar, "eat" the word must bear in mind. In addition to eating high-sugar, high-calorie, high fat, high protein food, the high "glycemic index" foods should be kept in strict control. The so-called "glycemic index" refers to the food enter the body within two hours of the relative velocity of blood sugar. For example, rice, glutinous rice on the glycemic index than the higher, the same amount of porridge made of rice and rice porridge in the "glycemic index" is relatively higher. Oats and buckwheat low glycemic index.

Relatively low calorie fruits and vegetables, it does not mean you can eat. Like potato, sweet potato, lotus root, a high calorie foods such as roots, we must eat less. "Pumpkin contains a certain amount of starch, decomposition will cause blood sugar absorption, consumption of large amount of patients can lead to blood sugar fluctuations in the pumpkin." General 350g pumpkin to provide 90 kcal of heat, the pumpkin should decrease consumption of staple food components. Glycemic control in diabetic patients under good amount of fruit can be generally about 200 grams per day, but less sugar should be chosen, like guava, strawberry, pear, grapefruit, lemon, etc., but should be appropriate to reduce staple food food intake, about half of two with a staple fruit and exchange. Persimmon, dates, bananas, durian, pink apple will have to eat less.

Diabetes is best not to drink, especially when accompanied with obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and coronary heart disease patients. If hard alcohol, glucose and has been well controlled, moderate drinking may be about 1 or 2 times per week, each time allowing the alcohol content of wine 20ml, or beer 200ml, or wine (sugar) 100ml, alcohol when a corresponding reduction in fat intake.

How do want to eat sweets?

Many people with diabetes to eat sweets hobby, you can post but had to limit sweets sick, how this can be done? Patients can select the appropriate sweetener (sugar substitute) to meet the sweet tooth habit.

Non-nutritive sweeteners, nutritive sweeteners and sweetener types. Among them, the nutritive sweeteners like candy, will generate heat, such as crystalline fructose provides about 4 kilocalories per gram calories per gram of sugar and alcohol can provide 2.5 to 3.4 kilocalories, disease control can be a small amount of good diabetes consumption, but also need a corresponding reduction in the intake of other foods. Non-nutritive sweeteners, including stevia factors, saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame and functional oligosaccharide, compared with nutritive sweeteners, and its even sweeter, but safe and reliable, after ingestion does not cause blood sugar fluctuations. But note that it does not heat, it is recommended to join in the food cooked.
