Principle of conformity
Combine grains: Mix whole grains like brown rice and oatmeal with white rice to lower the glycemic index.
Combine meat and vegetables: Main foods should be combined with moderate amounts of meat and vegetables to enhance nutrition and increase the feeling of fullness.
Cooking
Minimize processing: Keep the original structure of the food intact, for example brown rice should not be overcooked.
Control cooking time: Avoid cooking or stewing for too long to avoid destroying nutrients in food.
Eat in moderation: Even low glycemic index staple foods should be consumed in moderation to avoid over-loading on calories.
Choosing the right staple foods is an important part of controlling blood sugar. By using whole grains, beans and potatoes, along with proper combining and cooking techniques, you can better control your diet and reduce fluctuations in blood sugar.
Patients also need to combine medication, moderate exercise and regular monitoring to combat diabetes.
