As early as 198 1, Dr. David Joggins, a professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto, Canada, found that some staple foods can lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar, while some foods that feel sweet have a relatively slow increase in blood sugar. Based on this, he proposed a set of Glycemic index? Index, GI) to study the ability of food to improve blood sugar. ?
20 13 the data in the appendix of experts on diabetes medical nutrition treatment show that the better the food is digested and absorbed, the easier it is to make the blood sugar rise rapidly, and such drastic changes will do great harm to the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid eating too many foods that will suddenly raise blood sugar, that is, foods with high glycemic index (GI). How high? More than 70 kinds, such as toast, rice, white flour for three meals and glutinous rice for festivals. They are all foods with high index. Therefore, when eating these staple foods, you can add some side dishes with low index, such as snow konjac, soybeans and mung beans; Or with fresh vegetables and low-fat meat; Or eat more black rice porridge and sweet corn with low index as staple food. This way you can eat with peace of mind and don't have to worry about blood sugar.
The correct dietary pattern of diabetes is quite different from the common folk saying "you can't eat anything". In fact, it should be "you can eat everything". Under the condition of satisfying the body's required calories, we should eat whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat meat and high-quality nuts in a balanced way, and wisely choose appropriate diet and cooking methods of scalding and steaming, and reasonably control the consumption to keep blood sugar within a stable range, so as to reduce the damage of high blood sugar to blood vessels and nerves.
Diabetes is like a supervisor, urging you to develop healthy living habits. There is no radical cure at present. In recent years, surgical treatment of diabetes has become a new way. A large number of clinical follow-up data and clinical randomized controlled trials show that the clinical effect of surgical weight loss surgery in treating diabetes is obviously better than that of traditional treatment methods [2]. However, weight loss surgery is not suitable for everyone. Like other operations, bariatric surgery has strict indications and contraindications and is only suitable for a small number of patients who meet the requirements. In addition, this is a traumatic, irreversible and risky treatment, and many young people are reluctant to try it.
However, with the progress of endoscopic medical technology, minimally invasive interventional surgery has made great breakthroughs. In China, minimally invasive endoscopic intervention represented by gastric bypass stent system has the characteristics of simple operation, no damage to human structure, minimally invasive endoscopic intervention and wider indications, which reduces the acceptance threshold of both doctors and patients and has the potential of rapid popularization. I believe that diabetes will usher in a new cure path in the near future ~
