Type 2 Diabetes Food
Menu with type 2 diabetes, so that sugar does not rise
The basic control over the level of sugar in the blood in type 2 diabetes, or as it is also called an insulin-independent type, is a low-carbohydrate diet.
Also, such nutrition reduces almost to zero the various risks of complications from the "sweet" disease.
Unfortunately, many patients pay little attention to their menu, neglecting the recommendations of the endocrinologist.
In a consequence, this entails taking hypoglycemic medications, and in neglected cases, lifelong insulin therapy.
The peculiarity of the second type of diabetes is that cells and tissues lose sensitivity to the hormone insulin, but nevertheless, it is partially absorbed.
That is why the main task of the patient is to reduce the intake of glucose into the blood so that the available amount of insulin can absorb it.
Below, it will be described what should be nutrition for type 2 diabetes, an exemplary menu, useful recipes for dishes, as well as recommendations for choosing foods for the daily diet.
Diets from diabetes should be low-carbohydrate, that is, contain extremely hard-to-digest carbohydrates. These can be cereals, fruit and rye pastries.
The daily menu includes products of vegetable and animal origin. It is important that every day the patient eat porridge, vegetables, fruits, meat or fish, as well as sour-milk products.
Often, one of the causes of this ailment is obesity, mainly of the abdominal type. So it is necessary to stabilize the weight of a diabetic and eat only low-calorie food.
We can distinguish the following basic rules of eating:
small portions;
it is forbidden to overeat and feel hungry;
Drink a day at least two liters of purified water;
Try to plan meals at regular intervals and at the same time;
Do not cook meals by roasting;
All foods should be low-calorie, with the exception of nuts (a daily intake rate of up to 50 grams);
it is necessary to compile a varied daily menu for the patient so that he does not have a desire to eat a "forbidden" product.
Not always endocrinologists tell patients about how to choose food for a diet. Restricting themselves only to the story of forbidden food.
This approach is fundamentally wrong because a diabetic does not even presume what a vast amount of food he is allowed.
Below is a list of the most common foods in the diet of a healthy person that has a high index. These include:
1- Potatoes in any form.
2- Any fruit juice.
3- Carrots and beets.
4- Pumpkin.
5- Mango.
6- Watermelon.
7- Butter and sour cream.
8- White rice.
9- Corn and porridge from it.
10- Wheat flour.
There are a number of products whose index is zero. It would seem that they can be eaten in unlimited quantities because glucose does not rise in the blood. Such foods include, for example, lard and vegetable oil. But even here there are pitfalls.
For example, lard does not contain carbohydrates, however, it is high in calories and has an overabundance of bad cholesterol, which causes blockage of blood vessels. This is quite dangerous, especially those who are prone to this disease, diabetics.
