What snacks can diabetics eat?

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with high incidence in China. Because the incidence of this disease is getting higher and higher in recent years, the harm to patients is getting bigger and bigger, and diabetes has attracted great attention. As a chronic lifelong disease, there is no radical cure at present. If the patient's blood sugar is not well controlled, it will cause many complications and endanger the patient's life and health. Therefore, it is very important for diabetic patients to actively control blood sugar. The onset of diabetes and its blood sugar control are closely related to diet. For diabetics, only reasonable diet control can achieve the ideal blood sugar control effect, but what snacks can diabetics eat if they want to add meals?

You can often eat low-sugar fruits such as cucumbers and tomatoes. Of course, you can also prepare some protein snacks or carbohydrate food for dinner.

1. protein snacks?

This kind of snacks are commonly dried meat, milk and its products, bean products and so on. And diabetics can choose in moderation. General beef jerky common beef jerky, dried fish, dried pork, etc. Usually, the sodium content is high, which is not suitable for eating more. Bean products also have such problems.

You can choose a small package. It is convenient to control intake. In addition, some ingredients in dried pork are rich in sugar and flavored with a lot of white sugar. Diabetic patients should eat less of this snack at ordinary times.

Milk is a suitable drink, and you can also eat some chicken wings and eggs preserved in advance as snacks in protein.

Second, carbohydrate snacks?

This kind of snack usually includes biscuits, noodles, cakes, potato chips, sweets and so on. Diabetic patients can prepare a few sweets in their pockets and carry them with them as emergency food for hypoglycemia. ?

Other snacks can be bought in the supermarket. Cookies can choose soda varieties, bread is best whole wheat or with some coarse grain ingredients, while diabetics such as cakes and potato chips are best not to choose snacks. Most cakes contain a lot of refined sugar. Even if the raw material is sweetener, a small cake contains a lot of refined powder and oil, which is quite high in energy and has a great influence on blood sugar.

Potato chips are high-energy foods, and potato chips in supermarkets are divided into fried and non-fried. Non-fried snack seems to be more popular. In fact, non-fried starch foods mainly use drying technology. In order to keep the crisp taste, this kind of snacks also need some oil raw materials. Regardless of the production process, both fried and non-fried starch foods contain acrylamide, but the non-fried varieties have higher carcinogen content, so non-fried potato chips are not recommended.

In addition to buying biscuits and bread, you can also prepare boiled corn and egg cakes. These homemade snacks are healthier. ?

No matter what kind of snack you choose, you should estimate its energy value and not eat too much. In addition to the ingredients prepared by yourself, the packaged food bought in the supermarket also has an ingredient list and a nutrient composition list, so that you can easily control your energy intake at a glance [1].

Because controlling blood sugar and weight is a lifelong topic for diabetics, there is no need to panic if you have diabetes. In recent years, surgery has become a new method to treat diabetes. A large number of clinical follow-up data and clinical randomized controlled trials show that the clinical effect of surgical weight loss surgery in treating diabetes is obviously better than that of traditional treatment methods [2]. However, weight loss surgery is not suitable for everyone. Like other operations, bariatric surgery has strict indications and contraindications and is only suitable for a small number of patients who meet the requirements. In addition, this is a traumatic, irreversible and risky treatment, and many young people are reluctant to try it.

However, with the progress of endoscopic medical technology, minimally invasive interventional surgery has made great breakthroughs. At home, the minimally invasive endoscopic intervention technology represented by "gastric bypass stent system" has the characteristics of simple operation, no damage to human structure and minimally invasive gastroscopy intervention, which reduces the acceptance threshold of doctors and patients and has the potential of rapid popularization. With the development of these advanced technologies, I believe that diabetes will soon be overcome and bring good news to patients with metabolic diseases ~
