Over the past decade, WHO has been actively discussing whether diabetes is considered a disease or classified as a “lifestyle”. Where did such a strange sentence come from? After all, it is well known that with every year the number of patients is only growing, the disease is rapidly becoming younger: now even infants suffer from diabetes, and it is just right to beat the planetary alarm, and not exclude the disease from among them. There are two explanations for this “scientific frivolity”: either medicine recognizes its own impotence and relieves itself of all responsibility, or the fact that the diet with elevated blood sugar in some cases successfully supports patients in normal conditions has become a priority.
Be that as it may, no one will deny the decisive importance of proper nutrition. There is many years of experience in developing diets for diabetics, moreover, each patient has his own, “branded” diet. It is worth noting that many relate to themselves rather lightly, and for them, a diet with high blood sugar is a kind of regimen that can be followed, or can be violated. And here we cannot disagree with the opinion of scientists about a lifestyle that changes dramatically as soon as a blood test for sugar shows - the norm is exceeded.
One can not say another misconception. Someone thinks that diabetes is when you need to give up sweets. If only that! It is now necessary to refuse a lot: fatty, fried, flour using yeast, alcohol, a number of sweet fruits. An active lifestyle is becoming a necessity . Sugar is perfectly burned from physical exertion, running, walking. By the way, walking should become a habit.
You often hear that diabetes is not a sentence. Yes, not a sentence; it is not even dangerous in itself. Its consequences are dangerous, since with the perfidy of a scout, it infects all vital organs: heart, liver, pancreas (it suffers first), eyesight, blood vessels. And therefore, in order to maintain normal blood sugar, you need to take yourself very seriously. Eat on time, monitor blood sugar, monitor weight. It concerns patients with both types of diabetes mellitus - I and II.
But back to our diets. In addition to general recommendations, there are a number of useful, and most importantly, well-composed diets that, in principle, are universal. There is nothing inappropriate for a patient with any type of diabetes. Buckwheat, cabbage, fresh cucumbers, boiled poultry, low-fat fish, sour-milk products are ideal for each diet. In the arsenal, the author of the article has a special diet with high blood sugar, due to which a family member has lost weight well in a month and sugar has returned to normal. Use it for health.
Breakfast:
- 150 g of boiled buckwheat without salt and oil (can be varied with oatmeal in the water);
- half a glass of 1% kefir;
- after half an hour you can drink tea without sugar;
- after another two hours - eat two apples.
Dinner:
- 200 g of sea fish baked in foil (without salt);
- a large portion of a fresh salad of cabbage, carrots, fresh cucumbers, 1 tablespoon of green peas and greens (season with a tablespoon of olive oil);
- after half an hour - tea without sugar, after another two hours - two kiwis.
Dinner (no later than 19 hours):
- half a liter of 1% kefir or fermented baked milk, you can with a slice of black bread.
That's the whole diet.
And yet, a repetition of well-known tips can not do. If everyone agrees that diabetes is a way of life, then we must live appropriately. The disease aggravates the feeling of hunger, but you need to keep yourself in control, not overeat and not gain excess weight. Diabetes makes the patient nervous and sometimes unbearable, but we must remember this ourselves and think about the spiritual comfort of family members, because they often need help no less than the patient himself. And, of course, do not harm yourself, remember that a diet with high blood sugar is the most important thing.
And finally: you need to look at this world philosophically. Then you can deal with any problem.
