For diabetics, there are hard requirements for three meals a day, and adding meals is also very knowledgeable. Mastering this knowledge can not only maintain the stability of blood sugar, but also minimize the probability of hypoglycemia. But as long as a meal is wrong, blood sugar will rise rapidly, and blood sugar will fluctuate too much, which is not worth the candle.

So, how should diabetics correctly add meals? Please remember the following details!

First, grasp the time of adding meals (between meals and before going to bed)

Usually, meals are arranged at 10 in the morning, 3-4 in the afternoon and 20-22 in the evening. Generally, people who exercise too much (such as swimming, ball games, etc. ) you can also add a small amount of meals after exercise. When hypoglycemia occurs, you need to eat immediately, and give priority to candy or syrup with faster sugar rise.

Second, how to add meals correctly

(1) dietary calories are included in the total daily intake.

(2) The most commonly used methods are:

Leave 30-50g staple food in the previous meal until the meal is added, or replace it with fruit with the same calorie or food with low glycemic index. For example, eat less 1 rice at lunch, and then change it to half an apple or half a box of milk between meals (that is, 3-4 o'clock).

Third, different blood sugar has different requirements for meals.

2 hours after meals, the blood sugar per milliliter is lower than 8.0mmol/L (that is, the blood sugar control is excellent): When you feel hungry between meals, you can choose foods containing carbohydrates, such as sugar-free biscuits, whole wheat bread or steamed bread.

Blood sugar exceeds 10mmol/L 2 hours after meals (that is, blood sugar control is not ideal): if you are not hungry, you can choose not to add meals. If you are hungry, you can choose low-sugar and low-calorie cucumbers or tomatoes to satisfy your hunger.

When hypoglycemia occurs: when the blood sugar is lower than 3.9mmol/L or there are only symptoms of hypoglycemia, carbohydrate foods, such as biscuits and bread, can be added.

If the blood sugar is lower than 2.8mmol/L and the symptoms of hypoglycemia are serious, choose sugar water, honey water or candy first.

When the blood sugar before going to bed is lower than 8mmol/L, you can choose an egg or half a cup of low-fat milk and other protein foods, which can not only delay the absorption of glucose, but also increase satiety, reduce hunger at night and avoid hypoglycemia at night.
