Diabetes , diet control is the key
Many people get sick and blindly believe in medicine instead of improving their bad living habits that cause the disease. Take diabetes as an example. The most important and primary treatment method is diet control. By reducing the consumption of some foods with high sugar content and high glycemic index, the effect of reducing glucose intake can be achieved, lowering blood sugar, and ultimately achieving normal blood sugar. However, there are also some diabetic patients who usually pay more attention to the control of staple foods, actively participate in physical exercises, and take hypoglycemic drugs on time; however, their blood sugar never reaches the standard, just like the uncle below.
56-year-old uncle’s doubts
Uncle Zhang (pseudonym) is an old patient of mine. He was diagnosed with diabetes last year. He has been paying more attention to his condition and actively cooperated with the treatment. His blood sugar control has been ideal this year. However, Uncle Zhang has been to the outpatient clinic for a review of his blood sugar in the past month. His fasting blood sugar often exceeds 12mmol/L, and his postprandial blood sugar is as high as 20 mmol/L. asked him if he had any changes in his diet recently? He said that in the past month, he had paid more attention to controlling his staple food than before, exercised about the same amount as before, and took medicine on time. This sudden increase in blood sugar made Uncle Zhang particularly puzzled and puzzled. The problem of
was finally found.
During the conversation with Uncle Zhang, I heard Uncle Zhang say: Pay more attention to controlling staple food than before. He asked: "How do you pay more attention to controlling the staple food?" Uncle Zhang replied: "I stopped all the staple food you ordered for me before, and replaced all three meals a day with millet porridge, which can not only replace the staple food , this millet porridge is also more nutritious and saves you from getting angry.” After hearing what Uncle Zhang said, finally found the root of the problem: the uncle rarely eats staple food and his post-meal blood sugar is 20, all because of a habit. Diabetics often make this mistake.
High-starch millet porridge
Many people may wonder, millet porridge is a "porridge", how can it become a "big sugar-raiser"? itself, whether it is , millet, , or rice, is rich in starch and is a high-starch food. During the process of making porridge, after soaking and boiling, a large amount of starch in millet and rice is boiled into the rice soup. A bowl of rice soup that doesn't look too thick will form a solid state like "jelly" after being left overnight. This is because the high starch in the millet porridge plays an important role.
Gelatinized starch is easier to digest and absorb
After cooking, a large amount of starch in millet and rice enters the rice soup and gelatinizes after high temperature. After the gelatinized starch enters the gastrointestinal tract, it is easier to be digested and absorbed by the human body. Under the action of amylase in the body, it is quickly converted into glucose. This is also an important reason why drinking millet porridge is particularly easy to increase postprandial blood sugar. Therefore, some people compare drinking millet porridge to drinking sugar water, which is not an exaggeration at all. Secondly, people always think that millet porridge and rice porridge are porridge, which also aggravates people's paralysis, and it is easy to drink too much if you are not careful. Although it is porridge, the sugar intake is no less than the staple food.
There are many diabetic patients who like to drink porridge.
Uncle eats less staple food and has a blood sugar level of 20 after a meal. It is all because of this habit that some diabetics often make it. Because of the lack of this kind of common sense, many diabetic patients especially like to drink millet porridge and rice porridge, so that their blood sugar is never fully up to standard. In fact, millet itself is a nutritious cereal. If a diabetic patient particularly likes to drink millet porridge, he can use a colander to filter the millet porridge and simply eat the "clean millet" inside. And according to the nutritional therapy for diabetes, use millet in porridge to replace part of the staple food. This is a more scientific way to eat millet, but you must control the amount of consumption.
