Six dietary misunderstandings that can cause blood sugar to rise

　　1. Many diabetic patients think that diet therapy is hunger therapy. Experts point out that long-term hunger will lead to malnutrition, and the consequences will be more serious. Therefore, starvation therapy is not advocated. You can eat more low-calorie, high-volume foods to achieve sixty percent fullness with small and frequent meals.

　　2. Some people with diabetes think that whole grains contain less sugar, so they can eat more. But in fact, although whole grains contain little sugar, uncontrolled intake may also lead to an increase in blood sugar. ； Moreover, the fiber content in whole grains is high, and excessive dietary fiber can also interfere with drug absorption.

　　3. In order to control blood sugar levels, many diabetic patients eat very little staple food every day but do not control non-staple food. This approach is also wrong. Although meat, eggs, and dairy products are not high in sugar, they are rich in protein and fat, which can be converted into Grape Sugar, eating too much will also increase blood sugar； Nuts (melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc.) contain little sugar and have become a recreational food for many diabetics. However, if eaten in large quantities without restrictions, they will also affect blood sugar due to their high fat and calories.

　　4. Due to exaggerated publicity or misleading by some advertisements, many people with diabetes believe that special foods for diabetes contain no sugar or only add sweeteners and will not increase blood sugar, so they do not need to be controlled. However, in fact, they are the same as rice and steamed buns. If not controlled, they will cause blood sugar to rise.

　　5. Many people with diabetes like to drink porridge. Experts point out that cooked porridge is quickly absorbed and can easily cause postprandial hyperglycemia. The eating habit of drinking large amounts of porridge should be changed.

　　6. Many diabetic patients attach great importance to drug treatment and ignore diet and exercise therapy. They believe that taking medicine is a natural thing and nothing else matters. In fact, diet and exercise are both necessary means to treat diabetes. Without dietary treatment, there will be no ideal control of diabetes. ； Exercise can lower blood sugar, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and promote blood circulation.
