Diabetes, this silent killer, quietly sneaks into our lives, bringing heavy burdens to countless families. My father is a warrior in this battle, and he tells me through his experience that diabetes is not unbeatable; the key lies in how to choose and persevere.
On the day my father was diagnosed with diabetes, I remember the atmosphere at home was unusually heavy. The harm caused by diabetes is not only physical but also psychological. As the condition worsened, my father had to give up many foods he once enjoyed, and the care and understanding of relatives and friends became particularly precious. Many times, he had to face loneliness and misunderstanding that only diabetes patients can truly understand.
During the long battle against sugar, my father learned how to coexist peacefully with diabetes. He told me that some “snacks” are essential for him daily, not only satisfying his craving for food but also helping stabilize blood sugar. Here, I want to share his story and those “snacks” that accompanied him through difficulties.
First, there are sugar-free nuts. My father eats a small handful of sugar-free nuts every day, such as almonds, walnuts, etc. These nuts are rich in healthy fats and proteins, providing energy without causing drastic blood sugar fluctuations. He always says nuts are his “energy station,” allowing him to maintain vitality even in sickness.
Next, there are low-sugar fruits. Although diabetes limits my father’s fruit choices, he found some low-sugar fruits, such as berries and apples, with low sugar content suitable as snacks. He eats some between meals to satisfy hunger and replenish vitamins.
Then, there are whole grain sugar-free biscuits. Although these biscuits may not be as sweet as regular ones, their whole grain ingredients provide rich fiber, helping control blood sugar. My father always keeps a few pieces in his bag for emergencies.
Lastly, there are free tasting activities for sugar-free or low-sugar foods in the mall. This activity gives my father more choices, allowing him to try various sugar-free snacks and find flavors he likes. These foods not only taste similar to regular snacks but also offer peace of mind, allowing him to enjoy food without worrying about blood sugar issues.
During this process, a tool called the Blood Sugar Management Assistant has also greatly helped my father. It can record blood sugar data, analyze the effect of diet on blood sugar, enabling my father to manage his diet more scientifically. Although its role is limited, it is an indispensable aid in this battle against sugar.
Diabetes has brought my father a lot of troubles, but he has never given up. He always says that although diabetes is scary, as long as we treat it with care, it is not an insurmountable obstacle. His perseverance and optimism have deeply moved me, making me believe that with the right approach, diabetes can be conquered.
In summary, these four “snacks” not only helped stabilize my father’s blood sugar but more importantly, they have filled his life with color once again. He no longer feels constrained by diabetes but instead is more confident because he has found a lifestyle that suits him. If you or your family are also fighting against diabetes, consider trying these “snacks”; they might bring you unexpected surprises. Remember, diabetes is not scary; what’s scary is losing the courage and confidence to conquer it.
