Diabetes affects the way the body metabolizes carbohydrates and carbohydrates into energy, which means that the patient should monitor the amount of carbohydrates he is eating every day. Although the basic rule is that humans eat moderately always, there is more scrutiny the patient can do to protect himself from any complications, and the same scrutiny helps pre-diabetics control the disease before the disease develops.
Almost all foods contain a lot of carbohydrates, so you need to know the nutritional data for each food you eat.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that adults with diabetes have a carbohydrate intake of between 45 and 60 grams, which means that the daily dose is between 135 and 180 grams if you eat only 3 meals a day, but the diabetic is usually advised to divide the food into 5 or 6 meals , Without exceeding the indicated maximum daily limit.
Types of carbohydrates
To ensure that the body gets the vitamins and minerals without the need to increase the amount of food advised diabetic to eat complex carbohydrates in moderate amounts, such as whole wheat pasta, brown rice, barley bread, oatmeal, pulses, nuts, fruits and vegetables.
The recommended foods contain a large amount of fiber that helps the body not absorb all the carbohydrate content contained in the food, and urges the health recommendations to eat between 25 and 30 grams of fiber a day.
Complex carbohydrates do not release glucose at once, and it takes time to avoid the sudden rise in blood sugar.
You can reduce the carbohydrate intake in your food and compensate for that by increasing the protein slightly because it does not affect the high blood sugar level. For example, take half a cup of frozen fruit or a fruit to get a maximum of 15 grams of carbohydrate, and do not eat crackers, ice cream and yogurt.
Remember that a small spoon of honey contains the equivalent glucose found in 15 grams of carbohydrates, while the same amount of carbohydrates in half a cup of beans or two thirds of a cup of sugar-free milk.
