Wang Shugang found out diabetes not long ago, so he still knows little about the diet secrets of sugar lovers. He has always liked to drink millet porridge. He drinks a bowl every morning and feels very comfortable. But a few days ago, he heard from a sugar friend that he could not touch millet if he had diabetes, and he could no longer drink millet porridge because it would make blood sugar rise. Uncle Wang was also dubious, and came back to find a lot of books, and also went to the Internet to find some articles.
Although there is also an article saying that diabetes can not drink millet porridge, he also saw an article saying that millet not only does not raise blood sugar, but also lowers blood sugar. Now Uncle Wang was at a loss. Can this millet porridge be drunk?
Does Xiaomi raise blood sugar or lower blood sugar?
1. Xiaomi's view on raising blood sugar.
We usually say that millet will raise blood sugar, mainly referring to millet porridge. Because millet itself is a grain, although it is a coarse grain, it is also rich in starch and has a relatively strong ability to raise sugar. Moreover, people usually eat millet to make porridge, and it will cook very badly. This kind of operation makes coarse grains "fine grains."
The reason why rice and white noodles are fine grains is that they are all refined processing, and processing is not limited to rolling and grinding, but also boiling and steaming. Take millet as an example. After adding water to boil the porridge, the starch contained in it will be gelatinized. The longer the boiling time, the more serious the gelatinization of is, the stronger the sugar-increasing ability will be. Therefore, millet porridge is indeed a type of food with a high sugar-increasing ability.
Not only that, many people drink millet porridge and also like to put brown sugar, which is even more remarkable. There was once a patient whose blood sugar soared from 5.6mmol/L to 25.6mmol/L due to drinking millet porridge mixed with brown sugar for a long time, which almost caused a catastrophe. It can be said to be a lesson of blood.
2. Xiaomi's view on lowering blood sugar.
Regarding Xiaomi's hypothesis that it lowers blood sugar, a new study just appeared some time ago, which once again proves this conclusion. Studies have pointed out that millet can better control blood sugar compared to other grains. Long-term consumption of millet has positive significance for reducing fasting blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin , etc. Therefore, Xiaomi has a very good effect in preventing and treating diabetes.
Previous studies have also pointed out that millet is rich in dietary fiber and the formation of resistant starch , which can help delay the digestion and absorption of starch and help control blood sugar. Therefore, millet is more suitable as a staple food for diabetic patients than rice and wheat.
So, should Xiaomi eat it?
Of course you can eat, but the premise is to eat right! If they are like the patients who drink millet porridge with brown sugar above, this way of eating is definitely not acceptable. How to eat in the end, look at the experiment of a sugar friend.
Experiment 1: Drink millet porridge.
Patient Lao Wang, suffering from diabetes for 7 years. He measured his fasting blood glucose in the morning, and the result was 6.8mmol/L. Then he drank a bowl of millet porridge and added two eggs. As a result, half an hour after drinking the porridge, the blood sugar rose to 9.6mmol/L, and one hour later it rose to 10.1mmol/L. In other words, the blood sugar fluctuates by 3.3mmol/L within one hour. Except for the influence of eggs, the main thing that raises blood sugar should be millet porridge. This is not a small fluctuation.
Experiment two: millet rice with vegetables.
Lao Wang measured his fasting blood glucose before eating at noon, the result was 7.0mmol/L, and then he started to eat. He first ate some vegetables, mainly cauliflower and beans, and then ate a small bowl of rice, pure dry rice, without adding anything else. The blood sugar was measured half an hour after eating, the result was 7.8mmol/L,One hour later, the blood sugar was 8.1mmol/L. In other words, after eating a meal, the blood sugar fluctuation is only 1.1mmol/L, which is an ideal result.
The answer is obvious. Diabetics can eat millet, and millet is still a staple food suitable for sugar lovers. As long as it is eaten right, it is good for blood sugar management.
So, how should diabetics eat millet correctly?
1. Millet rice is preferred. Compared with millet porridge, millet rice has a weaker sugar-increasing ability, and the drier the rice is, the better. When cooking the rice, add less water and cook for a while. The dry rice produced in this way is easier to control the blood sugar after the meal.
2. Drink less millet porridge. Sugar friends want to drink millet porridge, it is not absolutely impossible, but you must control to drink less, a small bowl at a time, and reduce the intake of other staple foods by the same amount. It is best to eat some vegetables, poultry, fish, etc. before drinking millet porridge to increase the feeling of fullness and help you drink less porridge. In addition, when cooking millet porridge, do not add brown sugar, white sugar and other fast-increasing foods. You can add some vegetables, oats, buckwheat and other slow-increasing foods. Finally, if necessary, the medication can be adjusted to help control postprandial blood sugar.
