Sausages were in the list of undesirable products for diabetes in St. Petersburg

In diabetes, it is important to monitor nutrition to avoid sharp fluctuations in blood glucose levels. The basis of the diet should be vegetables, protein products and complex carbohydrates. Nutrition recommendations were published by RIA FederalPress.

People with diabetes are advised to include cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, lean meat, fish, eggs, buckwheat and whole grain products in the menu. Fruits, berries, nuts and vegetable oils in moderation are also allowed. When choosing food, it is important to consider its effect on blood sugar levels and portion size.

It is recommended to limit sweets, soda, packaged juices, white bread and pastries. Hidden sugar can be found in prepared breakfasts, sauces, ketchups and sweet yogurts. In addition, it is worth reducing the use of sausages, smoked foods and fast food due to the high content of saturated fats and salt.

Experts remind that people with diabetes at risk of hypoglycemia need to have a source of fast carbohydrates in case of a sharp decrease in blood sugar levels.
