Diabetes is a global problem today. In addition to the medications needed to control diabetes, dieting as well as maintaining a healthy body weight are essential. It can be said orally by anyone, but it is a bit difficult to implement in practice.
It is very important for a diabetic to choose a nutritious and quality diet as well as to eat a low fat and low calorie diet. The guidelines for this are to choose foods that are low in starch and low in fat. In addition, the use of vegetarian food is very advisable. The 50 - 25 - 25 food classification system used in the developed countries of the world is very suitable for this. About 50 percent of your diet should consist of starch-free vegetables, such as spinach, green leafy vegetables, and bell peppers. In addition, about 25 percent of the diet should consist of protein. You can add fish, soy meat and tofu. The remaining 25% of whole grains can be included in the diet, including whole grain whole grain rice, whole grain rice, as well as potatoes and beans. In addition, you can add one or two fruits a day to your diet, and there is nothing wrong with adding milk, yogurt, as well as small amounts of fat, butter, margarine or cheese.
If you have diabetes, insulin, which is injected to control glucose levels, cannot be taken at will. Often a doctor will prescribe insulin injections based on the duration of the meal. Therefore, it is important to eat all three meals at the same time each day. Just as it is important to eat at the same time every day, it is also important to eat the same amount of food each day. Avoiding main meals during the day, breakfast and lunch, and overeating at night can adversely affect your blood glucose levels as well as the effectiveness of your medications. Therefore, it is important to discuss with your doctor or nutritionist when and how much food to eat. Do you miss your main meal? If you miss a meal or take medication for diabetes, your blood sugar level can drop dramatically. Also, the high appetite and loss of appetite caused by skipping breakfast daily can lead to high blood sugar, which in turn leads to obesity, which in turn leads to overeating and high calorie intake.
People with diabetes have more eye damage than people without diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes causes irreversible damage to the kidneys and eyes of many people. If blood sugar is not properly controlled, the delicate blood vessels in the retina inside the eye can be damaged. Also, if the disease is not properly controlled, conditions such as "glaucoma" can occur. For this reason, it is important for the diabetic to have an eye examination every 6 months. Then the damage to the inside of the eye can be largely avoided.
The amount of food consumed daily is very important for dieting. When hunger is severe, even a dieter may have an estimate of the amount to be eaten, but will naturally be tempted to eat more. Therefore, it is advisable to eat no more than the size of your palm when eating, especially chicken. In addition, it is important to determine the size of the cup, the weight of the food, and the amount of spoon to be taken during food preparation and eating. Excessive glucose uptake into our body during physical activity increases glucose uptake and insulin use. Therefore, exercise can help control high blood sugar levels automatically. In addition, it has an effect on how much food we should take daily as well as the medicines we take daily. As a result, a person who exercises excessively may not eat properly and may be prescribed high doses of the drug, as well as exercising without taking the proper amount of medication and exercising. Therefore, it is important to see your doctor and get a good understanding of the duration of daily exercise, the amount of food, and the dosage of medication.
