Diabetics need to know how they should add foods accordingly, what to eat and what not to eat. Accordingly, the foods that diabetics should eat include:
Powdered sugar group: Whole grains, beans, rice with bran on, vegetables... are processed by steaming, boiling, baking, minimizing frying, stir-frying... Root vegetables such as tapioca are also provide quite a lot of starch, so if people with diabetes eat these types, they need to reduce or cut rice.
Meat and fish group: People with diabetes should eat fish, lean meat, skinless poultry, fat-removed meat, legumes... which are simply processed such as steaming, boiling, pan-frying to remove fat.
Fat and sugar group: Foods with unsaturated fats are preferred in the diet of diabetics such as soybean oil, sesame, fish oil, fish fat, olive...
Vegetable group: People with diabetes should eat more vegetables in their menu through simple processing methods such as raw, steamed, boiled, mixed vegetables but should not use many types of fatty sauces.
Fruits: Diabetics need to increase their intake of fresh fruits, do not process them further by adding ice cream and milk, and limit their intake of sweet and ripe fruits such as durian, ripe persimmon, ripe mango...
Also according to the National Institute of Nutrition, the ratio of energy-producing components in the daily meals of diabetics is specifically determined as follows, which will be very good in stabilizing and treating the disease:
* Protein: Protein intake should reach 1-1.2 g/kg/day for adults, ie this ratio should be equivalent to 15-20% of dietary energy.
* Lipids: Fat percentage should be 25% of total energy intake, should not exceed 30%. Limit saturated fatty acids. This helps stabilize blood sugar, preventing atherosclerosis
* Glucose: The ratio of energy provided by glucose should reach 50-60% of the total dietary energy of diabetics. Should choose foods with low glycemic index such as: brown rice, rye bread, oats, whole beans...
