Diet in high blood glucose

Diabetes is an insidious and complex medical problem. The disease often involves the nervous system in the pathological process, affects the vessels, disrupts the metabolism and the functioning of internal organs. The increase in the sugar level is due to the inability to absorb insulin as a result of pancreatic dysfunction (no special hormone is produced).

In the case of diabetes mellitus, one treatment will not be enough, patients need to follow a diet in combination with physical activity. The diet with increased glucose is based on the following principles:

• It is unacceptable to starve, which can dramatically reduce the quantity of glucose;
• daily ration is broken into 4-6 full-fledged meals, without snacks;
• food should be balanced with sufficient content of raw vegetables and fruits;
• preference is given to low-calorie, low-fat foods;
• consumption of sweets is not excluded, but is reduced to a minimum;
• patients should increase their stress resistance and not conflict, as they increase the quantitative content of sugar;
• completely refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol-containing beverages.

The accumulation of insulin in the blood affects: obesity, excessive cholesterol, liver dysfunction, the presence of chronic pancreatitis and genetic predisposition.

What is the diet for increased glucose?

In each specific case, a diet with increased glucose is developed individually, based on the specific gravity, age and sex of the patient, the associated pathologies, individual sensitivity to products and the type of professional activity (activity).

The healthy diet of a diabetic is based on the correct distribution of proteins (up to 25%), carbohydrates (up to 50%) and fats (up to 35%). The total mass is carbohydrate food, but it should be remembered that it is divided into:

• simple carbohydrates (honey, fruit) - fructose and glucose, increasing sugar, and therefore their consumption is limited;
• complex carbohydrates - from cereals, vegetables, the use of which is required by diabetics.

The permissible share of fats in the dishes depends on the level of physical activity and the body mass index. What is the diet for increased glucose? It is desirable to use vegetable fats, and in animal portions (smalets, lard, butter, etc.) in small portions eat for lunch. Minimize also the consumption of cheese products. At the raised glucose refuse dairy and sour-milk products with the low maintenance of fat (0,5-1,5%).

You should not forget about a sufficient amount of protein food - beans, nuts, soy, peas and the like. The diet of a diabetic should be saturated with vitamins and microelements.

To help diabetics come steamers, multivarks, preserving the maximum of useful substances and discovering new taste qualities of familiar products.

Diet with increased glucose: table

Glycemic index of food and beverages - for diabetics the unit is vital, showing the rapidity of the breakdown of carbohydrates. All food can be divided into three groups depending on the rate of glucose breakdown:

1. high speed (from 70 and above) - the most dangerous food for diabetics;
2. average (70-50);
3. lower (from 50 and below) - the recommended diet for increased blood glucose.

Diet with elevated glucose table, showing the glycemic index and caloric content of foods on the example of vegetables:

Product	Glycemic index	Kcal in 100g
Parsley, basil	5	49
Asparagus / spinach / dill	15	22/31
Salad leaf / onion / tomato fresh	10	17/48/23
Fresh cucumbers	20	13
Cabbage / broccoli fresh	10	25/27
Radish	15	20

Beetroot	64	54
Pumpkin baked / zucchini roasted	75	23/104
Potato boiled / mashed potatoes	65/90	75/92

Insulin therapy can be prescribed only by the attending physician if the diet does not bring the expected effect and the glucose level does not decrease.
