As the saying goes, “People take food as their heaven”. For diabetics, many things are not edible because the control of the diet is good and it directly affects the development of the disease. Therefore, controlling the diet occupies a very important position in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. However, many patients have misconceptions about diabetes diet. The following are the most representative of the 10:

Misunderstanding 1: Eat less staple food. Many patients believe that the less the staple foods are eaten, the better the food will be controlled for only a half or two or two meals per meal for several consecutive years. This will have two consequences: First, due to insufficient intake of staple foods, the total calories will not be able to satisfy the body. Metabolic needs lead to excessive body fat, protein decomposition, body weight loss, malnutrition, and even hunger ketosis. The second is to control the amount of main food, but not control the oil, snacks, meat and eggs, so that the total daily calories far exceed the standard, and excessive fat intake, so easy to complicated hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease, so that Diet control failed. In fact, the diabetes diet mainly controls total calories and fat. The staple food containing more complex carbohydrates, the rate of increase in blood sugar is relatively slow, it should be guaranteed to eat enough.

Misunderstanding 2: No sweet will be able to eat. Some patients mistakenly believe that diabetes should not eat sweet foods, salted bread, salted crackers, and a large number of diabetes-specific sweeteners on the market. Foods that do not contain sugar can be used when they are hungry and need not be controlled. In fact, all kinds of bread and biscuits are made of food. Like rice taro, eating them will also convert into glucose in the body, which will lead to elevated blood sugar. Therefore, such foods can be used to improve monotonous tastes and improve the enjoyment of life, but the total calories must be calculated.

Misunderstanding 3: Eat more medicine on the line. Some patients feel that hunger often can not help but eat too much, they feel that the original dose of medication can offset more food. In fact, this not only makes the dietary control useless, but also increases the burden on the islet, and increases the possibility of hypoglycemia and drug side effects, which is very unfavorable to the control of the disease.

Misunderstanding 4: Control dinner, snacks are not limited. Some patients have better control of three meals, but because of hunger or other reasons to develop the habit of eating snacks such as peanuts, seeds, snack foods. In fact, this also undermined diet control. Most snacks are foods with high fat content or high calorie content. Any food consumption will result in excessive calories.

Misunderstanding 5: Can not eat oyster sauce, vegetable oil eat nothing more. Although vegetable oils contain more unsaturated fatty acids, both animal and vegetable oils are fats and are high-calorie foods. If not controlled, it is easy to exceed the total amount of heat specified daily. Therefore, vegetable oils cannot be eaten casually.

Misunderstanding 6: Do not eat whole grains without eating coarse grains. Coarse grains contain more dietary fiber, which has the effects of reducing blood sugar, reducing lipids, and passing stools. It is beneficial to the body. However, if you eat too much coarse grains, you may increase the gastrointestinal burden, affect the absorption of nutrients and cause malnutrition in the long run. Therefore, no matter what food you eat, it should be moderate.

Myth #7: Eat a meal if you eat less. In order to control their blood sugar, some patients volunteered to eat less, especially breakfast, thinking that they could save a drug. In fact, taking medicine is not only to fight the high blood sugar caused by diet, but also to reduce the body's metabolism and other hyperglycemia caused by blood glucose. Also, eating out of time can easily lead to pre-meal hypoglycemia and danger. In addition, eating less of this meal will inevitably increase the amount of next meal, which in turn will lead to unstable blood sugar control. Therefore, it is important to regularly and regularly use medicine and eat.

Misunderstanding 8: You can just eat with insulin. Some patients have switched to insulin therapy because of poor oral blood glucose control. They believe that with insulin, “the world is peaceful”, it is no longer necessary to control the diet. In fact, the purpose of insulin therapy is to stabilize blood glucose control, and the amount of insulin used must also be adjusted based on a fixed diet. If the diet is not controlled, blood sugar will be more unstable. Therefore, insulin therapy not only needs to be combined with nutritional therapy, but also very necessary.

Misunderstanding 9: Use urine test strips to evaluate food. In order to monitor whether the foods eaten, especially sweeteners, contain sugar, some patients dropped the food solution on the urine test paper, and found that the discoloration was very scary and considered to be high sugar. In fact, as long as the food containing sugar (including refined sugar and polysaccharides) is dissolved, glucose will be produced and the test paper will be discolored; sugar-free foods will have no sugar, and other forms of sugar will discolor the test paper, but they will not cause the blood sugar to rise too much. Fast or too high. This approach will only make you more trouble.

Misunderstanding 10: Hawthorn and other blood-sugar hypoglycemic methods can all reduce blood sugar, without restriction. The golden rule of diabetes diet treatment tells us that all diets must be controlled within the total calorie range. Hawthorn has the effect of softening blood vessels and anticoagulation on the elderly, but it also contains high levels of fructose, which may affect glycemic control. Dietary remedies can also affect blood sugar if calories are too high or fat is too high. Therefore, it should be carefully chosen.
