As a nutritionist, I deeply understand the troubles and worries of diabetic patients about diet. Dietary control of diabetic patients plays a crucial role in stabilizing the condition. Today, I will share some knowledge about the impact of pumpkin and other foods on blood sugar with everyone to help better control blood sugar.
First, let’s discuss the impact of pumpkin on blood sugar. Pumpkin is a highly nutritious food rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. However, pumpkin has a relatively high sugar content, and excessive consumption by diabetic patients may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. Therefore, pumpkin is not an accelerator of diabetes, but patients still need to consume it in moderation.
So, for diabetic patients who want to maintain stable blood sugar levels, what foods should they eat more of? I recommend diabetic patients to eat more of these 4 types of yellow foods:
Corn: Corn is rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, can lower the speed of postprandial blood sugar rise, and help stabilize blood sugar.
Soybeans: Soybeans contain rich high-quality proteins, dietary fiber, and soy isoflavones. For diabetic patients, moderate consumption of soybeans helps control blood sugar.
Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, can lower the speed of postprandial blood sugar rise, and help stabilize blood sugar.
Carrots: Carrots are rich in carotene and dietary fiber. For diabetic patients, moderate consumption of carrots helps control blood sugar.
In addition to eating more of the above 4 yellow foods, diabetic patients can also help control blood sugar by drinking tea. Here are 3 teas I recommend:
Green Tea: Green tea contains rich catechins, can lower blood sugar and insulin resistance, and help control blood sugar.
Oolong Tea: Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea, containing rich tea polyphenols and tea polysaccharides, can lower blood sugar and insulin resistance, and help control blood sugar.
Black Tea: The tea polyphenols and tea polysaccharides in black tea can lower blood sugar and insulin resistance, and help control blood sugar.
Of course, besides dietary control, diabetic patients also need to pay attention to the following:
Regular Moderate Exercise: Moderate aerobic exercise can help lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.
Maintain Good Sleep Patterns: Maintain adequate sleep and good sleep habits to help stabilize blood sugar.
Regular Blood Sugar Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar to detect blood sugar fluctuations in a timely manner and adjust treatment plans.
Follow Medical Advice on Medication: Follow the doctor’s guidance, correctly use hypoglycemic medications, do not change medication dosage or stop medication arbitrarily.
In conclusion, for diabetic patients to maintain stable blood sugar levels, they need to arrange their diet reasonably, eat more foods that help control blood sugar, consume tea in moderation, pay attention to lifestyle habits and medication. I hope my sharing is helpful to everyone, wish you all good health!
