The goal in the treatment of diabetes is to reduce and maintain an adequate level the level of blood sugar. The food is a key factor in achieving this goal. This is that you can do, reduction of fat consumption – In a study published in the journal Diabetes Care of January 1994 found that a moderate increase in the percentage of calories from fat (from 38 to 43 percent) was sufficient to significantly increase the number of people with glucose intolerance that develop diabetes. On the other party has found that eating 40 grams of fat additional each day can be done six times more likely that a person with predisposition to diabetes develops. The typical diet generally is too high in fat.
However, not all fats are equal. The saturated fats are the cause most problems and are precisely those that many people consumed in excess. It is recommended reducing the total consumption of fats so they do not represent more than 20 percent of the total calories. The fat ingested should preferably be not saturated.
Some recommendations foods that can be useful for all people with diabetes or who are in a high risk of autism are:
- Increase the consumption of complex carbohydrates, i.e. those derived from plants, whole grains and a lesser amount, fresh fruit. These carbohydrates take longer to digested that simple sugars and release their natural sugars in a more slowly and controlled the products facts on the basis of refined sugars.
- Increase consumption of plants of intense colors such as broccoli, spinach, carrots and peppers because they are rich in antioxidants that help prevent damage to the small blood vessels in the eyes.
- Remove the consumption of refined sugar and the products made from it. For example, candy, cookies and candies in general.
- Avoid food “garbage” is to say that contains many empty calories but very few nutrients or fiber.
- Reduce or eliminate the consumption of caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes. Smoking is particularly harmful for people with diabetes because these are susceptible to damage to the small blood vessels that supply in the eyes and peripheral nerves. The cigarette compounded the damage. Alcohol increases the risk of damage to peripheral nerves.
- Do not eat too much in a single meal. It is preferable eat less in the lunch or dinner and eat some slight snack between meals.
