Case: Today, Aunt Ge from Shandong collapsed at the doorstep while exercising in the morning and was urgently taken to the hospital by her family. It is understood that Aunt Ge, 54 years old, was diagnosed with high blood sugar six months ago, and this fainting spell was caused by a spike in blood sugar, indicating a serious deterioration of her condition.
The doctor made it clear that when Aunt Ge was taken to the hospital, her blood sugar level had reached 14.2mmol/L, already classified as type II diabetes. When analyzing Aunt Ge’s medical history, it was found that her high blood sugar had escalated to diabetes in just six months, which baffled the doctors.
WHO urges: Common kitchen condiments are harmful to the “self-destructing islets,” so quit early.
Inquiring about Aunt Ge’s daily diet, it was revealed that after being diagnosed with high blood sugar, Aunt Ge had been very strict in controlling her sugar intake, but could not have imagined that a simple kitchen condiment would be more harmful than white sugar.
It turns out that Aunt Ge loves to eat lard, whether mixed with rice, noodles, or stir-fried dishes, finding them delicious.
However, for individuals with high blood sugar, frequent consumption of lard increases the fat content in the body and blood vessels, adding burden to the islets and consequently increasing the risk of diabetes. A study published in the “Journal of Nutrition” also pointed out that long-term consumption of lard increases the risk of type II diabetes by 31%.
Doctor’s reminder: Besides lard, these two items should also be avoided by individuals with high blood sugar.
1. Processed Foods
Processed foods such as sausages, cured sausages, salted fish, contain excessive salt and additives. Regular consumption can lead to insulin resistance, damage to islet function, insufficient insulin secretion to sustain sugar metabolism, causing blood sugar fluctuations.
2. High Glycemic Index Staple Foods
For individuals with high blood sugar, caution is advised when consuming staple foods. It is recommended to reduce consumption of staple foods with a high glycemic index such as rice, noodles, steamed buns. Regular consumption increases blood sugar levels, thickens blood, speeds up blood sugar levels, leading to diabetes.
How can individuals with high blood sugar control sugar intake and prevent worsening of their condition? Doctor: These two practices must be adhered to.
1. Nutritional Supplements for Lowering Blood Sugar
Due to dietary restrictions for individuals with high blood sugar, there is a lack of certain nutrients in the body.
It is essential to choose safe and effective nutritional supplements, such as “Pube Double Essence” made from over ten types of natural Chinese herbs like Tianbei powder, Cordyceps, Ginseng, Cinnamon, and Gegen, which play a crucial role in stabilizing blood sugar when combined with diet.
Clinical research has shown that Tianbei powder contains Tianbei kinase and peptides that promote protein synthesis and glycogen breakdown to reduce glucose accumulation in the blood; Cordyceps contains various trace elements that cleanse harmful substances from the blood, promoting clear blood vessels, with a powerful effect on reducing blood sugar levels; Gegen contains Gegenin and flavonoids that alleviate various discomforts caused by high blood sugar, preventing organ damage caused by soaring blood sugar levels and stabilizing blood sugar.
Recommendation: Individuals with unstable blood sugar can take 2 capsules of “Pube Double Essence” after meals daily to gradually stabilize blood sugar, avoiding the torment of complications.
2. Increase Consumption of Whole Grains
Individuals with high blood sugar should replace refined rice and flour with fiber-rich whole grains. This not only enhances satiety and prolongs the digestive process, delaying rapid conversion of sugar in the blood;
Furthermore, whole grains lower levels of low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides in the blood, and appropriate consumption can prevent the onset of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Tip:
Regardless of the method of lowering blood sugar, consistent adherence is necessary for better control within safe levels. Prevention is key at this stage, and it is hoped that everyone will give it due attention.
