Penza reminded about the products that should be excluded in diabetes
As part of the Week of combating diabetes, endocrinologist Marina Arsenova explained the principles of nutrition in this disease
Within the framework of the Diabetes Week, endocrinologist Marina Arsenova explained the principles of nutrition in this disease. There is no universal menu - the diet is always selected for a specific patient. The main goal is to maintain weight, control glucose and protect the heart, blood vessels, nerves and kidneys from complications.
In diabetes of the first type, caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic cells, it is impossible to do without an accurate calculation of bread units. An adult person usually needs no more than 17 XE per day. One unit is 20-25 g of bread or 10-12 g of carbohydrates. Applications and tables help to facilitate calculation. Fractional nutrition (5-6 times a day) with an even distribution of carbohydrates helps to comply with this principle.
In the second type of diabetes, the task is different - to reduce insulin resistance. Here help sugar-lowering drugs, rejection of fast carbohydrates and calorie control. The doctor advises leaning on non-starchy vegetables (cabbage, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes), low-fat meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, oatmeal and buckwheat.
Universal support – “the method of healthy plate”. Half are vegetables, a quarter are protein and complex carbohydrates. Sugar, white flour, sugary drinks and saturated fats limit. Prepare food for a couple, boil or bake. Diet will not cure diabetes, but will help keep sugar normal.
