After entering the summer, it is the most difficult season for diabetic patients because the temperature rises in summer, reducing the secretion of adrenaline in the body, which affects the function of insulin and is not conducive to controlling blood sugar levels.
Therefore, once entering the summer, diabetes will become more rampant. If not controlled and regulated in time, it may trigger various complications.
For diabetic patients, it is necessary to strictly control their diet in daily life. Some foods must be avoided in order to maintain stable blood sugar levels in the body.
For those whose blood sugar levels are “out of range,” please avoid the following four items early on to maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevent complications:
Animal organs
If you find that your blood sugar level is high, like animal organs, please add it to your blacklist early on because animal organs contain a lot of cholesterol.
If consumed in excess, it will cause fats to be converted into sugar, leading to a continuous rise in blood sugar levels, as well as obesity and disruption of the body’s internal environment, making blood sugar unstable and easily leading to complications.
Steamed buns
Steamed buns are a very common staple food in our daily life. However, for diabetic patients, it is better to avoid them because although steamed buns do not taste sweet, their glycemic index is very high.
They contain a large amount of carbohydrates, which, when entering the body, will rapidly raise blood sugar levels, causing blood sugar disorders and various complications. Therefore, diabetic patients should add steamed buns to their blacklist early on so that blood sugar levels in the body can be maintained stable.
Carbonated drinks
After entering summer, many people prefer to drink carbonated drinks rather than water. However, carbonated drinks contain a high amount of sugar and various additives.
If you cannot control your intake, it may cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels in the body, making various complications likely. For those whose blood sugar levels are high, it is advisable to avoid them in order to significantly reduce the risk of complications.
Glutinous rice
Glutinous rice is a food with a high glycemic index, so diabetic patients need to control their intake.
If you overeat, it will cause significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels in the body, making blood sugar control much more difficult and increasing the risk of various complications, threatening one’s life safety.
3 foods known as “stabilizers” for blood sugar levels, can be consumed more:
Buckwheat
Buckwheat is a very common whole grain in our daily life, with high nutritional and health value, containing various nutrients that can effectively help strengthen the body’s resistance and immunity.
Buckwheat is also known as a blood sugar stabilizer because it can effectively help activate insulin in the body, accelerate the consumption and breakdown of blood sugar, maintain stable blood sugar levels, prevent various complications. If you consume it more often in your daily life, diabetes may not dare to act up.
Okra
Many people cannot resist the greenness of okra and love to eat it. In fact, it is an ideal ingredient for diabetic patients.
Okra not only has high nutritional value but can also help repair damaged pancreatic cells and inhibit the rise in blood sugar after meals. It is also a stabilizer for blood sugar, helping to effectively prevent complications.
Bitter melon
Bitter melon contains abundant bitter melon compounds, and bitter melon saponins are known as natural insulin, effectively promoting the secretion of insulin in the body, maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
So, don’t mind the bitter taste of bitter melon; serve it on the table more often. It has a very good effect on maintaining stable blood sugar levels in the body, helping to prevent complications. It is also an ideal ingredient for diabetic patients.
Doing these two things will help stabilize blood sugar:
Timely replenish fluids
After entering summer, with the hot weather and increased sweating, remember to replenish fluids for the body timely. Dehydration can also cause blood sugar disorders, which may lead to various complications, greatly disadvantaging your health.
Maintain moderate exercise
Exercise is a very effective way to lower blood sugar because during exercise, it can help accelerate blood circulation and metabolic rate in the body, directly consume sugars in the blood, and maintain stable blood sugar levels in the body.
If you can persist in moderate physical exercise every day, blood sugar levels in the body will steadily decrease, preventing complications, and also helping to quickly eliminate toxins and waste from the body, ensuring your health.
Diabetes is a controllable but incurable disease. Please develop good habits in daily life in terms of schedule and diet and maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude. Only in this way can you maintain stable blood sugar levels in the body.
