The "four rules of diet" that diabetes should pay attention to

 The "four rules of diet" that diabetes should pay attention to

1. Less processed food:

Eating too much salt will increase blood pressure and increase the burden on the kidneys. Therefore, in terms of food choices, don't emphasize the taste. Light is the best.

Pickled or processed foods, such as ham and canned food, should be eaten as little as possible.

2. Low oil, low cholesterol:

Avoid foods that are high in oil and cholesterol, such as saturated fats and viscera, which will increase blood cholesterol and easily lead to the risk of complications.

3. Adjust the amount of starch:

To be able to control the amount of starch in a day (for example, eat half a bowl of rice for lunch and dinner, or eat pumpkin, yam and other starches to reduce meal intake), and choose less refined starches, including bread, cakes, etc. If you want to eat some sweets or drinks occasionally, it is recommended to choose sugar substitutes or sugar-free drinks.

4. Avoid alcoholic beverages:

Alcohol inhibits the effect of glycogenogenesis, so drinking on an empty stomach can easily cause hypoglycemia. Diabetics should not drink alcohol, and those with high triglycerides and poor blood sugar control should refrain from alcohol.
