Believe everyone should not be unfamiliar with diabetes, there are hundreds of millions of people in our country suffering from diabetes. The results of recent surveys show that the number of patients is still increasing, and the high-risk group is gradually getting younger. As an invisible killer that affects our health, diabetes is lurking around us. If a person is diagnosed with diabetes and does not care, neither controls diet habits nor pays attention to lifestyle habits, this chronic disease may become the reason for you to leave this world. Therefore, to prevent complications, pay attention to controlling blood sugar after being diagnosed.
Speaking of controlling blood sugar, how can you maintain the balance of blood sugar in the body as much as possible? In addition to actively cooperating with doctors’ treatment, diabetic patients should also pay attention to dietary changes in daily life and timely understand what taboos diabetic patients have in their diet. Are you afraid of high blood sugar, so you skip breakfast? Three meals a day are a channel for the body to take in energy; breakfast should be eaten reasonably and healthily.
Can’t diabetic people eat breakfast? Remember “2 eat 2 don’t eat,” stabilize blood sugar, prevent complications.
2 eat:
1. Drink milk.
Many people think that milk, as a dairy product, contains lactose, which might disrupt the stability of blood sugar in the body if consumed regularly. In fact, milk is rich in nutrients that are beneficial for improving the body’s immunity and resistance, and some nutrients in milk also help stabilize blood sugar. Diabetic patients should choose skimmed milk before drinking. Some milk may contain a lot of sugar during processing, so attention should be paid to the type of milk and various flavors added.
2. Eat oats.
Oats are often consumed as breakfast and are liked by many people. They are rich in nutritional value, low in calories, and rich in soluble dietary fiber. They are helpful for women in weight loss and can increase the feeling of fullness without worrying about exceeding the calorie intake. For diabetic patients, oats are beneficial for maintaining stable blood sugar. It is important to note that diabetic patients should choose whole grain oats as much as possible when consuming oats.
2 don’t eat:
1. Do not drink white congee.
If diagnosed with diabetes, it is advisable to avoid drinking congee for breakfast, especially white congee. A seemingly ordinary bowl of white congee contains a lot of starch, which is easily absorbed by the body after cooking. Drinking a bowl of white congee can quickly raise blood sugar, which is not conducive to controlling the condition and disrupts the balance of blood sugar in the body for diabetic patients.
2. Do not eat fried dough sticks.
Many people in China enjoy having fried dough sticks for breakfast with white congee or soy milk. Although fried dough sticks are delicious, they lack nutrition. As a deep-fried food, the fat content and calories in fried dough sticks exceed the standard. Consuming them regularly is not only detrimental to maintaining the balance of blood sugar in the body but may also increase the risk of developing “three highs.”
