In modern society, diabetes has become a common chronic disease, and more and more people are troubled by it. Patients with diabetes should take diet control. A reasonable diet can help stabilize the blood sugar level and reduce the risk of complications. But many patients are often unclear about which foods to avoid, leading them to unknowingly fall into the ‘sweet trap’. Today we are going to talk about the food that people with diabetes cannot eat.
1. Refined sugar and sweets
Firstly, refined sugars and various desserts must be strictly restricted. Foods containing a large amount of added sugar, such as candies, cakes, cookies, etc., can rapidly increase blood sugar levels when they enter the human body. Even foods that claim to be low sugar or sugar free should be carefully selected as they may contain ingredients that can affect blood sugar levels. In addition, many beverages on the market contain high concentrations of fruit syrup, which should also be avoided as much as possible.
2. High starch staple food
In addition to direct intake of sugar, high starch staple foods are also objects that need to be controlled. For example, white rice, noodles, Mantou, etc., will be converted into glucose after digestion and decomposition in the body, resulting in large fluctuations in postprandial blood sugar. It is recommended to replace some refined grains with whole grains as the main source of staple food, such as brown rice, oatmeal, and other foods rich in dietary fiber and with low glycemic index, which can help slow down the absorption rate of carbohydrates.
3. Fried foods and fatty meat
Fried food and fatty meat are also bad for the health of diabetes patients. They are not only high in calories and easy to cause obesity, but also contain a lot of saturated fatty acids. Long term consumption may lead to abnormal blood lipids and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, when cooking, try to use methods such as steaming and stewing, and eat less meat and fishy ingredients such as animal organs and pig trotters.
In daily life, diabetes patients should pay attention to keeping away from the above foods that are easy to cause uncontrolled blood sugar. Of course, everyone’s physical condition is different, and on the basis of following general principles, it is necessary to adjust the diet structure according to one’s own actual situation, and regularly monitor changes in blood sugar to ensure safe and effective management of the condition.
