Diet recipes that diabetics must read to help you stay away from the "sweet burden"

How to eat may be the most headache-inducing problem for diabetic patients. The habits that have been maintained for more than ten years or even decades seem to collapse at the moment of diagnosis. In fact, the diabetic diet pattern is not much different from the healthy diet pattern we advocate. It is generally recommended that the intake ratio of carbohydrates is 45% to 60% of the total energy, the protein energy supply ratio is 15% to 20%, and the fat energy supply ratio is 25% to 35%. For people with poor postprandial blood sugar control, the energy supply ratio of carbohydrates can be appropriately reduced, but it is not recommended to adopt an extremely low-carbohydrate diet pattern for a long time.

A scientific diet is essential for diabetic patients. The three meals a day of diabetic patients can be diversified. If you determine that you need 1800 kcal of energy a day, you can refer to the following diet pattern to plan three meals a day:

Breakfast: cornmeal buns (40 grams of flour, 35 grams of cornmeal), 300 ml of milk/soy milk, egg custard (1 egg), mixed cucumber (50 grams of cucumber).

Lunch: Rice (60 grams of rice, 40 grams of millet), shredded pork and celery (50 grams of lean pork, 150 grams of celery, 5 grams of oil), mushrooms and cabbage (10 grams of mushrooms, 200 grams of cabbage, 5 grams of oil).

Dinner: Buckwheat rice (80g rice, 20g buckwheat), boiled chicken meatballs and winter melon (75g chicken breast, 150g winter melon, 5g oil), diced tomatoes and eggplant (100g eggplant, 50g tomatoes, 5g oil).

It is particularly important to note that milk is a food that many diabetic patients fear and think should absolutely be given up. However, this will cause the patient's body to lack essential nutrients (especially calcium), which may lead to osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease in the long run. While controlling the total energy, 300 to 500 grams of dairy products should be consumed every day. Low-fat, skim pure milk or low-fat yogurt are preferred to avoid excessive fat intake. Drink less or no milk drinks and milk tea. Yogurt contains more sugar, so you can choose low-sugar or xylitol yogurt to avoid excessive sugar intake. People who are lactose intolerant can choose fermented milk (note less sugar) or eat dairy products in small amounts and multiple times.
