Sugar Friend Lao Zhang (https://m.toutiao.com/is/YWWr4dy/?=Eating white rice does not go with whole grains and does not raise sugar levels. He teaches sugar lovers how to make white rice that is safe to eat and does not raise sugar levels - Today Headlines) After the discovery of diabetes , common doctors posted on the Internet that people with diabetes should not eat red dates, mainly because they contain high sugar content (see Figure 1). According to the food sugar content, any food with a total sugar content of more than 10% is classified as high-sugar food (see Figure 2). Once eaten, blood sugar will overturn, and previous efforts to control sugar will be in vain. Previously, his neighbor Lao Li, a sugar lover, ate a few red dates in order to replenish his blood and qi. His blood sugar spiked to 13.6mml/L, which scared him so much that he did not dare to touch it again.
Figure 1: Doctors answer patients’ questions about the total sugar content of jujubes and taboos for diabetic patients.
Figure 2: The sugar content of red dates exceeds the definition of high-sugar fruits by more than 4 times.
What is strange is that sugar lover Lao Zhang eats not red dates, but snack food made from red dates---sesame and red dates with preserved walnuts. It stands to reason that the total sugar content of red dates before being processed is already very high (see Figure 1-2). After being processed into preserved fruits, the total sugar content is even higher. And after Lao Zhang ate two sesame red dates with about 30 grams and sandwiched walnuts, the total sugar content was already high. , his blood sugar should have turned upside down like his neighbor Lao Li, a sugar friend, but the result was the opposite - his blood sugar was as normal as normal sugar control (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: The "Diet and Blood Sugar Record" made by Lao Zhang at that time recorded the normal blood sugar situation after eating red dates.
Why do sugar lovers Lao Li and Lao Zhang both eat high-sugar red dates? Lao Li’s blood sugar is overturned, but Lao Zhang’s blood sugar is normal? It turns out that Lao Li eats red dates alone, just like eating rice or pasta alone without combining it with vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, blood sugar will naturally rise; while Lao Zhang eats it with a mixed meal, even though the total sugar content of red dates itself is high , after making preserved fruit, the total surface sugar content is higher, but after combining , sesame, and walnuts, which are non-glycemic foods, and eating them in moderation as a snack, blood sugar will naturally not rise and remain normal.

The above explains that on the basis of adhering to "you can eat anything, and you can't eat too much of anything", people with diabetes must eat mixed meals. Even if you encounter food with high sugar content, as long as you eat it in moderation, you will not only feel satisfied , and it will not raise blood sugar. https://m.toutiao.com/is/Y7J9TQX/?=Eating white rice does not go with whole grains and does not raise sugar levels.
