In the cognition of many people, the most important thing for people with diabetes is sugar intake. Only sugar can have a bad effect on blood sugar. But in fact, there is an important indicator to measure the impact of food on blood sugar, that is, the glycemic index GI.

We usually eat white rice, white steamed buns, noodles and other staple foods. The glycemic index is usually between 81-88. The results of a study published by researchers at the University of Sydney in the British Journal of Nutrition show that the blood sugar production of certain beer The index is as high as 89, such as pilsner beer.
beer has a lower degree than other alcoholic beverages, but because the carbohydrate in beer is mainly maltose, beer is also a liquid beverage. Without chewing, maltose will quickly enter the body for digestion and absorption, thereby increasing blood sugar. .
Although the maltose content in beer is only about 4-5%, it is difficult for beer drinkers to control their intake. If two bottles are accidentally drunk, it is about 1000 ml, which is equivalent to 40-50 grams of carbon water. The amount of the compound. In addition, the ability of maltose to raise blood sugar is equivalent to that of glucose, which is why drinking beer can also raise sugar quickly.
Some people have to ask, can liquor be drunk? In fact, both beer and liquor are alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is metabolized through the liver, and sugar metabolism is also through the liver. If a lot of alcohol causes liver damage, glucose metabolism is bound to be disordered.
If you are taking metformin and other hypoglycemic drugs, you should strictly limit alcohol, because alcohol is likely to be mixed with drugs to enhance or weaken the drug, and at the same time increase the risk of poisoning.

If you really want to drink it, under the condition of controlling the condition, the "Chinese Residents Dietary Guidelines" recommends that men's beer should not exceed 450ml each time, liquor should not exceed 50ml, and wine should not exceed If it exceeds 150ml, it is advisable to drink no more than 2 times a week.
