What should I pay attention to if my blood sugar is a little high?

People with high blood sugar generally suffer from diabetes, a very prevalent disease in modern life, and it is becoming more and more serious. This is because diabetes brings many problems, which will cause major changes in the patient's body. The most obvious problem is obesity, followed by systemic health problems, such as diabetic foot and so on. Once you suffer from diabetes, you must constantly monitor changes in blood sugar to prevent problems with blood sugar being too high or too low. High blood sugar causes the most problems and is the most harmful. Therefore, patients must eat sugary foods in their lives. Let’s take a look at what issues should we pay attention to if our blood sugar is a little high?

1. The staple food is generally rice and noodles, but we prefer coarse grains, such as oats, cereals, cornmeal, etc., because these foods contain more inorganic salts and vitamins, and are rich in dietary fiber. Dietary fiber has the effect of lowering blood sugar and is beneficial to controlling blood sugar.

2. For patients with high blood sugar, soybeans and soy products are the best protein sources. On the one hand, they contain high-quality protein; on the other hand, they do not contain cholesterol and have a lipid-lowering effect, so they can replace some animal foods, such as meat.

3. During the calorie control period, if you still feel hungry, you can eat vegetables with low sugar content, boil them in water, and then mix them with some seasonings. Because vegetables contain high levels of dietary fiber and water, have low heat energy and have a filling effect, they are essential foods for diabetic patients.

4. Prohibited foods include: white sugar, brown sugar, glucose and sugar-based sweets, such as candy, cakes, jam, candied fruit, ice cream, sweet drinks, etc. In addition, potatoes, yam, taro, lotus root, garlic sprouts, carrots, etc. which are high in carbohydrates should be used less or the corresponding staple food amount should be reduced after consumption.

5. Use less lard, tallow, kerosene, cream, and butter that are rich in saturated fatty acids, and it is best not to use them. Vegetable oil can be used to replace part of animal oil. Peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds and melon seeds also contain a lot of fat. Try not to eat them or eat less or reduce your oil intake.
