New diabetic diet - a rational allocation of sugar, fat

New diabetic diet - a rational allocation of sugar, fat and protein percentage
Author: Anonymous Source: Diabetes Network Hits: 344 Update Time :2008-8-21
Medical scientists now generally agree that the new diet guidelines to control the total energy should be reasonable so that the total energy supply to maintain or slightly lower than the standard weight is appropriate. Control the total energy in a reasonable, based on the reasonable distribution of sugar, fat and protein percentage.

1. Sugar should be the total energy of 60% to 70%. Here the word "sugar" refers to the food, if some coarse grains are mixed better. At present, many patients still use the old "semi-starvation diet," too restrictive on the staple food, such practices should be corrected.

The results show that a reasonable increase in staple food, not only can improve glucose tolerance without increasing insulin requirements. Because the main factors affect the blood sugar is the total energy intake, in addition to sugar to supply glucose, fat and protein can also be converted to glucose.

Present ideas to eat food every day 300 to 400 grams, obesity control in 200 to 250 grams, the use of insulin may be appropriate to relax.

Honey, sugar and other refined sugar is a double sugar, easily absorbed in the intestine, should eat better.

More fruits and fructose on blood glucose control were careful not clothes, general recommendations can be in between meals or at night before going to sleep Try to eat small, random blood glucose may be measured again.

2. To limit the fat. The fat of the total energy of 20% to 25%, especially rich in saturated fatty acids to limit cattle, sheep, lard and butter and other animal fats, vegetable oils in coconut oil, palm oil also contains more saturated fatty acids; sunflower oil, corn oil, olive oil, peanut oil, soybean oil fatty acids are more than suitable for diabetics, fish oil is safe.

3. With the normal amount of protein is close to 15% of the total energy. Among them, animal protein should account for 1 / 3.

4. Not lack of vitamins. Diabetes is easy to lack of B vitamins, because people with diabetes complicated by nerve damage; and patients with poor disease control, the role of strong gluconeogenesis, B vitamins consumption increased. Focused on vitamin B1, B12, their food sources are whole grains, dried beans, offal, eggs and vegetables containing vitamin B12 Rufu lot.

5. Should not be drinking. The metabolism of alcohol while not need insulin, but it can produce more heat, heat 1 gram of alcohol for 29 kJ, equivalent to a medium height of the energy needed for diabetes day to 1 / 200, such as 50 Kelie of drinking wine roughly equivalent to the total calories a day 1 / 7. It can be seen, even a small amount of alcohol will also need to strictly control the total energy of the diabetic condition that caused the trouble.

Occur in old age the vast majority of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, organ damage are the main hazards. This "high-sugar, low fat diet" may improve glucose tolerance, delaying the positive role of organ damage.

Right now, it is red fruit and green melon Sheng season. Not to mention the tomatoes are soft and hard points of difference in size of watermelon, cucumber, there are different species, including our common origin of different head because of the variety of different sizes, ie large cucumber and cucumber.

We say that local production of cucumber and more slender, slim, green, top prickly cucumber flowers. Short body fat cucumber imported from abroad, the surface smooth, without thorns, also known as "Dutch cucumber", "mini cucumber."

According to the Qing dynasty Qianlong period of the "Materia Medica truth" records, cucumber "smell Ganhan, after serving Qingre water." Cucumber flavored leaves and trailing slightly cold, with heat, dehumidification, Hua Chang, analgesic and other effects; cucumber pulp with a heat detoxification diuretic effect. In addition, relatively bitter cucumber cucurbitacin constituents with anti-tumor effect.

Whether the size of cucumbers, have higher nutritional value, rich in fiber, carotene, a certain amount of vitamins and mineral elements, has antioxidant, anti-angular stomatitis and other effects, including vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 were higher than tomatoes.

However, the large cucumber taste more crisp, a lower sugar content and therefore more suitable for dieters and diabetics.

Diabetes diet tips dinner banquet

Diabetes diet tips dinner banquet
Author: Anonymous Source: Diabetes Network Hits: 372 Update Time :2008-8-21
Whether it is family reunion, or welcome guests, the banquet is always filled with food and wine. Face the temptation of delicious diabetic patients, relatives and friends of the hospitality dilemma. Do not eat it, accept their hospitality; eat, afraid of blood sugar. How to not hurt the feelings of that condition without affecting it? How to eat banquet, worth a try.

1, eat less and taste. As people's living standards improve, more and more sumptuous banquet meals. But the four high food (high calorie, high protein, high fat, high sugar) control of this diet is very unfavorable condition of diabetes. Reflect the number of diabetic patients blood sugar after dinner. Because patients with diabetes must control the total dietary calories, typically low-calorie, low fat, low sugar, high fiber diet. So feast on the face of the "four high-food" to eat less and try to avoid a food to excess. As diverse as the superficial to taste a little, eat less selective. In this way, eat the delicious food, you will not be excessive.

2, less meat and more factors. Poultry meat feast on more higher levels of animal fat, and fry cook in the use of deep-fried, high fat content so. High-fat diet will not only reduce the body weight gain and insulin sensitivity, elevated blood sugar, but also induced high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, so patients with diabetes is less everybody eats meat and fried foods. The best choice for steaming, boiling, stewing, boil, mix, halogen processed foods, such as boiled shrimp base, steamed fish. Eat vegetarian feast, such as vegetables, mushrooms, beans and so on. Because these foods with high fiber, low in calories and nutritious. The world's most respected health care vegetarianism is konjac, known as the "magic food", "meat partner." Because of its low-calorie, high fiber, with fullness, weight loss, constipation, stomach cleaning effect. And meat with food can maintain body acid-base balance, smooth postprandial blood glucose. Diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease on the table to share. But not too much time consumption.

3, less fine and more coarse. Most of the staple food of the banquet made of fine flour, and some even add the cream, sugar, honey, minced meat, jam and other glycemic substances. As a high glycemic index flour such as bread flour, bread, rice, glycemic index as high as 80%, and consumption increased rapidly after the blood sugar, so as little as possible. Should eat some rich in dietary fiber, low glycemic index of whole grains such as whole wheat flour, oat, buckwheat, corn and leafy greens such as boiled. These foods are rich in dietary fiber (seventh nutrients) with the appetite, delaying glucose absorption effects, can reduce appetite, eliminate postprandial hyperglycemia. It also has a bowel movement, weight loss, lipid-lowering effect. Unfortunately the current feast of food rich in dietary fiber less. Diabetes American Diabetes Association recommends a daily intake of 30 grams of dietary fiber, while the diet of residents in general less than 10 grams, 5 grams of even the banquet are inadequate. Therefore, before dinner or add some delicate peace is still very necessary dietary fiber. Fasting dietary fiber flush with the bag of fine, when the soft drinks is best of both worlds.

4, the permission may be a glass of red wine or beer to drink less, but it should be net of the two staple food. Is best tea instead of wine. As the saying goes: When visitors come to tea, wine, tea light friendship strong. Moreover, tea is the world's recognized health drinks.

Dinner with diabetes must control the total dietary calories, learn scientific meals, blood sugar and prevent complications.

Low insulin diet lose weight

Low insulin diet lose weight
Author: Anonymous Source: Diabetes Network Hits: 332 Update Time :2008-8-21
GI diet books more in promoting a healthy lifestyle, it considers only the low-carbohydrate eating is not enough, still with the low-calorie, low saturated fat foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, reduce caffeine intake to ensure good sleep, relieve stress - stress can promote the secretion of hormones, people want to eat something. It also requires users: determined not to sugar. Do not drink juice and eat fruit. Never eat fruit leathers, vegetables mud. Eat raw vegetables. Do not eat cheese. No caffeine. Can only do pasta dishes, can not do dinner. Eat once every three hours to avoid low blood sugar.

In each meal should have protein. Do not eat rice cakes. Plate in front of you should have 1 / 2 vegetable, 1 / 4 carbohydrates, 1 / 4 of the protein. The food cooked hard that your stomach send more to the point of living and the gospel come together to lose weight, and it is looking very healthy GI (GlycaemicInedx) diets, also known as low-insulin diet lose weight. Its followers say it is user-friendly way to lose weight, because it does not need a special campaign, much less hungry, you can achieve weight loss results. Things happened: the insulin secreted by the pancreas, when we eat carbohydrates, when blood sugar, glucose will rapidly rise, the pancreas secretes insulin it non-stop, the body needs glucose stored in the liver or muscle , the excess into fat storage to spare.

It's that simple, you eat too many carbohydrates, misled the insulin and metabolism. Therefore, we only need to adjust diet, reduce carbohydrate, reduced glucose, insulin effects, so that normal metabolism, burn fat until thin.

GI refers to the (GlycaemicInedx) glycemic index. Each food is digested into the blood will affect the blood glucose changes. Nutritionist according to the glycemic index of food an instant upgrade, the separation of 100 levels, can quickly raise blood sugar levels as high GI foods food and vice versa is low GI foods. School nutritionists in the GI, the evidence on weight loss simply do not have to care too much about calories, be considered clear enough after each meal GI is the key. High GI foods are digested, filled with the blood sugar, the pancreas will secrete large amounts of insulin, excessive decomposition of the blood glucose, blood sugar levels return to normal. Too much insulin secreted by the body will hinder fat burning, is conducive to fat storage, and so that excess glucose into fat, resulting in loss of appetite hyperthyroidism.

The result is getting better and better appetite, more and more body fat. The low-GI foods, even carbohydrates, digestion is slow, slow access to the blood, has little effect on blood glucose; accordingly, less insulin secretion in vivo will suppress appetite, so you often feel a full The. Reduced appetite, which means you do not rely on the will to diet; less food intake, the body needs energy from fat, reduced fat accumulation in the body, to the weight loss goals.

GI diet recipes weight loss diet is low insulin formulation, is to encourage users of the recipes as much as possible food to eat low GI index. Nutritionists to measure, set out the digestion of each kind of food is the speed and GI index, for example, Apple at 38, 53 whole-wheat bread, cereal 4, white bread 70 large rice 98. Generally speaking, finishing, high-sugar foods are high GI foods, the following 55 experts are highly recommended food is the food.

Read the rules of diet, you will find it completely changed the traditional concept of weight-loss diet. Low GI foods include a lot of fatty foods, such as fried crackers, and baked potato is "unhealthy" food. Because the fat on the digestion and the role of a slowdown, will remind the brain, you get enough do not eat things. As another example, peanut butter is a low-GI foods, whole milk, skim milk than the low GI index, fruit cake, low index than dry toast. Raw carrots is low GI, but difficult to eat the body after digestion and absorption of vitamins containing A; fry, easy to digest, GI is high. In other words, fried chocolate also can not eat more than carrots.

In accordance with the GI principle, can eat three meals a day; breakfast cereal, noon to destroy a pita stuffed with tuna, eat pasta at night; can eat chocolate a day and three snacks, allowing a small amount of alcohol. Low GI foods are common, nutritionally balanced, and more species, does not make people feel monotonous, than most weight loss diet easy to follow, much less to spend. Due to the low GI foods low in cholesterol, so reducing the consumption of those suffering from hypertension and diabetes risk, the burden on the kidneys are small.

Recent eat red meat and processed type II diabetes

Recent eat red meat and processed type II diabetes
Author: Anonymous Source: Diabetes Network Hits: 370 Update Time :2008-8-21
Long-term big mouth to eat meat, high protein diet has been questioned, some studies found that the diet will hurt the kidneys and lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer; Now, the latest research indicates that eating red meat (especially processed), and type II diabetes.

Eat less red meat than women, women who eat red meat nearly a third have a high risk of exponential type II diabetes; in large health research study, eat bacon, hot dogs and processed meat women, suffering from type II diabetes risk 43% higher.

This is from the Harvard Medical School study group's latest study found that published in the September issue of the "Diabetes Care" journal.

Processing products induced insulin resistance

The researchers followed more than 37,000 women over 45 years, the average observation time of eight years; all the women are joining before the experiment, fill out a detailed questionnaire, and all without heart disease, cancer, or type II diabetes.

In the follow-up after, there are 1,560 female suffering from type II diabetes, after adjusting for other related form of diabetes risk factors such as age, weight, and physical activity, researchers continue to find the amount of consumption of red meat processing, induced type II diabetes and the relationship between.

Tested once a week compared to only eat red meat the women, more than five times a week to eat red meat the women were found in the high diabetes risk index by 29%; while the same contrast in the processing of meat, the risk index surged to 43%.

Yiqing Song, MD, led the research team that used to process meat preservatives, additives, and other chemical components, including nitrate and nitrite, or even formed in the process of chemical substances, which may have induced insulin resistance.

In addition, iron may play a key role in red and processed meat is rich in iron, while previous studies have shown that high iron concentration and has been associated with type II diabetes; In this experiment, compared with the diet the small amount of iron women, the highest amount of iron intake of women with high risk of developing diabetes by 46%.

However, Song, MD, the team said it because the ingestion of red meat or processed meat, and the mechanism of type II diabetes remains uncertain, requiring further study.

Long-term studies of diabetes, said Frank Hu, MD, the latest research findings and his previous findings and other people the same; Hu, MD, of all kinds of different dietary factors have long to type II diabetes.

In his recent study published in last month, mainly specializes in sugary drinks, studies have shown that regular consumption of high fructose syrup to flavor the soda, the risk of diabetes 80% higher.

Hu, MD, refined sugar, refined flour, and hydrogenated lipids, increased diabetes risk appears to be the culprit; prevention and fight against diabetes, the most important food, is the nuts and fiber-rich foods such as whole grains.

He noted that the vision is very clear, but there are still many unanswered questions, dairy products are still very controversial; some studies show a protective effect it might, but its protective effect compared with nuts and whole grains, are still inferior to many .

Hu, MD, will cause a surge in blood sugar was those with high blood sugar factor (GI value) of food, which is worsening diabetes villain; low-carbohydrate, high protein diet also have to avoid the high GI value of food; However, Hu, MD, these are not a good choice for reducing the risk of diabetes.

He said that these dietary patterns, fiber and whole grains are low proportion, which are phytochemicals, minerals and an important source of antioxidants; these are rich in dietary patterns of the saturated fat; Hu, MD Harvard Medical School in Boston School of Public Health associate professor of nutritional epidemiology cum.

American Diabetes Association President Robert Rizza, MD, when the researchers identify a single food and diabetes risk is related, it is very important right, but the "weight control" and "movement", it was a long-proven low-risk enough to risk two ways.

He said that we can now find a lower risk of suffering from type II diabetes, the most powerful evidence is to maintain the body's activities, and maintaining a healthy weight, reduce saturated and hydrogenated fats, as, and to increase food vegetables important step for the process, we do not want people to overlook the importance of a comprehensive healthy lifestyle.

The study, published in the United States "in the scientific literature" on the issue. Researchers at Boston University to 44,000 for the study of black women to investigate their 1995 to 2005 between the diet.

Study found that daily consumption of more than 2 or 2 copies of those of ordinary soft drinks with no more than 1 drink per month were compared to soft drinks, the former suffering from type II diabetes risk 24% higher than the latter. Drink more than 2 or 2 parts sugar and fruit juice are no more than 1 drink per month sweetened fruit drinks were compared, the former suffering from type II diabetes risk 31% higher than the latter. Sugar-free soft drinks, grapefruit juice and orange juice does not increase the risk of diabetes.

The researchers said that although the pure grapefruit juice and orange juice contains natural sugar, but have different metabolic effects, can partially replace the meal. Ordinary soft drinks and sweetened fruit drinks are often consumed between meals, it is easy drinkin and eating snacks.

Zhu Lipaermo other researchers wrote in the report: "the public should be aware that the prevention of type II diabetes, the kind (sugar juice) drinks are not healthy alternative to ordinary soft drinks."

Reported that a previous study of thousands of white women as the object of study, a similar conclusion.

Another study shows that fruits and vegetables provide the body nutrients such as antioxidants, can prevent obesity and help prevent type diabetes.

Sugar-free yogurt will raise blood sugar

Sugar-free yogurt will raise blood sugar
Author: Anonymous Source: Diabetes Network Hits: 753 Update Time :2008-8-28
Manufacturers of sugar-free yogurt and called the real meaning of diabetes on the need to "sugar free" is different. Because yogurt is milk as raw material, dominated by microbial fermentation, itself contains a lot of lactose, and lactose in the fermentation process which, in part by the use of micro-organisms, into lactic acid and other metabolites.

Because of unstable blood sugar in diabetic people, the freedom to drink a bottle of yogurt is a luxury. Target market, businesses have launched a sugar-free yogurt, no sugar or of thought been fooled.

Nanjing Li has over twelve years of diabetes, usually his own special attention to diet and lifestyle, so sick for so long since he had it under control blood sugar. But recently, Lee has found that, since drinking a dairy production in Nanjing Yamada, sugar-free yogurt brand high calcium, the blood glucose began to rise up and unstable.

According to the company service department, a responsible person, Yamada licensing sugar-free yogurt with calcium is not ordinary sugar, but aspartame, aspartame in the metabolic process will not impact on blood sugar.

Endocrinology, 305 Hospital of PLA chief physician Zhu Kaisi said: "Aspartame is the rise of a new sweetener, which is mainly composed of two amino acids, we call it vulgar protein sugar, aspartame intake of the human body after through the normal metabolism of the body, broken down into two amino acids, amino acids into the amino acids the body circulation, metabolized can be said is safe for diabetics. "

Since metabolized by the body, why people with diabetes can also cause fluctuations in blood sugar it?

Zhu Kaisi doctors believe that the alleged manufacturers of sugar-free yogurt and diabetic patients need in the true sense of the "sugar free" is different. Because yogurt is milk as raw material, dominated by microbial fermentation, itself contains a lot of lactose, and lactose in the fermentation process which, in part by the use of micro-organisms, into lactic acid and other metabolites, as well as part of the lactose will residue, strictly speaking, this is the real sugar-free yogurt is not yogurt, it will affect blood sugar in people with diabetes.

Diabetic patients with liver disease diet conditioning, nutrition therapy through the damp and improve function in patients with liver cells to restore and maintain normal blood glucose levels, prevent low blood sugar reaction, to prevent other complications, drug therapy to help improve the body's resistance to disease capacity to promote patient recovery.

As the temperature gradually cooler, fall is near. Every this season, due to less rain, the air become more dry, dry mouth and tongue diabetic patients prone to pain, sore throat, dry cough, constipation and other symptoms, especially the combined liver disease, prone to repeated illness.
