Why don't many people recommend that diabetics eat mutton?

People with diabetes can eat mutton. I don't know why some friends think that mutton is not for diabetic friends.

Diabetes is an endocrine disease, and the problem lies in glucose metabolism. The reason is that insulin cells can't secrete insulin normally, islet cells are damaged, insulin sensitivity is decreased, insulin resistance and so on. Because insulin can't work normally, the glucose in the blood is always in a high state, so in order to provide a certain buffer range for the insulin of diabetic friends, diabetic patients should choose low-sugar foods, but the carbohydrate content of meat foods is basically zero, and they are all low-sugar foods. Why not eat them?

Besides mutton, what other meat foods can diabetic friends eat? In addition to mutton, diabetic friends can also choose a variety of meats, such as pork, beef, chicken, duck and so on. Maybe many diabetic friends think that meat is high in fat and worry about whether they can eat it. Indeed, the fat content of meat is higher than that of plant food, and if obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other phenomena increase insulin resistance, it is more difficult for insulin to play its role and blood sugar to be stable. But in fact, the fat content in lean meat is not high. If eaten properly, it will have no effect on diabetic friends.

Dietary guidelines recommend that each person's daily meat intake is 45-70g, which is about the weight of a palm. It is no problem for diabetic friends to eat these. If there are patients with hyperlipidemia, hypertension and obesity, they can be appropriately reduced. It is recommended to choose lean meat within one or two, avoid eating too much fat meat and pork belly, and eat more fish and shrimp meat within 200g g.

But it is best not to drink broth, which is easily mixed with fat, purine and cholesterol. If you drink too much, it may really increase insulin resistance. Friends who love mutton soup can eat some mutton and mutton offal properly and drink less mutton soup, which is no problem at all.

Mutton is good in meat quality, low in fat and cholesterol. Diabetic friends need not be afraid to eat mutton. If they eat properly, they can supplement a variety of beneficial ingredients, such as high-quality protein and minerals. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It should be noted that diabetic patients should pay more attention to eating meat, considering the risk of cardiovascular diseases and other complications. Thin? Less? Fat? Especially livestock meat, you should avoid white fat meat, because this kind of meat has high fat content and relatively high cholesterol, while the red part of lean meat has low fat content and less cholesterol. Specifically, it is juicy and tender, such as pork belly, fat beef, fat sheep, chicken wings with skin, fat goose and fat duck, so don't choose it. The juice is less fragrant.

Therefore, not only mutton, fish and shrimp, beef and chicken, but also diabetics should be encouraged to eat in moderation.
