Features: Diabetes diet refers to a special type of diet specifically designed for diabetic patients. This diet requires strict control over the energy supplied. Dietitians must calculate the food content and quantity needed for each patient throughout the day according to the dietary advice prescribed by clinical doctors. The diabetes diet includes staple foods such as glutinous rice and high-gluten flour; low-energy foods such as green vegetables, cabbage, cucumber, winter melon, tomato, tofu, and soybean sprouts; as well as small amounts of lean pork and eggs. Diabetic patients are prohibited from consuming pure sugar foods such as glucose, sucrose, and maltose. Foods high in starch, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and vermicelli, should generally not be used. If they must be used, the staple food intake should be reduced.
Dietary management is the foundation of all diabetes treatments. A reasonable dietary structure can significantly lower blood sugar, maintain nutritional balance, keep weight appropriate, and prevent the occurrence of complications.
