Sugar control rumors, so far, people with diabetes believe these 3 things

1. Hypoglycemic drugs damage pancreatic islet function, which can be reversed by nutrient conditioning

rumor< /strong>: Hypoglycemic drugs stimulate the release of insulin to achieve hypoglycemic effect, long-term use will make the body extremely poor in nutrition, the five internal organs and islets will not be adequately nourished, the only function of islets will be destroyed, and the best treatment time will be delayed. , can achieve drug withdrawal to reverse diabetes.

Rumor: Reversing diabetes is currently a new topic. In clinical, the condition for reversal is simply in the early stage of diabetes, with better islet function, overweight or obese, and certain insulin resistance. With intervention, blood sugar can be controlled without medication for a certain period of time. Diabetes reversal currently has a standard, and there is no evidence-based scientific basis for reversal of so-called nutritional conditioning without premise.

In addition, people with poor blood sugar control after taking hypoglycemic drugs should seek help from a doctor in time. There are many reasons for the poor effect of hypoglycemic drugs, such as diet, accompanying diseases, and changes in disease conditions that need to be adjusted. Poor control of oral medication with the progression of diabetes is also a common cause, but it is never caused by hypoglycemic drugs that destroy islet function.

2. Diabetics eat less staple food and low-carb diet will improve blood sugar

Rumor: There is no doubt that the direct source of blood sugar is the staple food, so eat less staple food directly, and the rest rely on meat, eggs and milk to fill their stomachs. There are still many diabetic patients who eat this way.

Rumors: The newly released dietary guidelines for Chinese residents 2020 show evidence-based nutritional evidence that: a day’s carbohydrates are the best balance when the energy supply ratio is 50%-60%. If it is more than 70%, or less than 40%, it will increase the mortality rate. It is a U-shaped relationship, which means that carbon is not good either. We should not remove food from such a diversity of food, it is detrimental to overall health.

3. Eating all vegetable oil is harmful, and adding lard fatty acid is more balanced

Myth: The fatty acid composition of various vegetable oils is indeed different, and some people with diabetes believe that oil needs to be balanced and that animal oils are healthy oils, which is a myth.

Rumors: olive oil, camellia oil, etc. contain monounsaturated fatty acids; flaxseed oil and perilla seed oil contain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; corn oil, rice bran oil, and sunflower oil contain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Plant sterols can be eaten alternately.

But the worst thing to eat is lard, which contains a lot of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. Under the current dietary environment, there is generally no shortage of meat, and cooking with lard does more harm than good. There are also rumors that people with diabetes should eat palm oil among the vegetable oils, but the fact is that palm oil also contains a lot of saturated fatty acids.

In addition, no matter what kind of oil you eat, a large amount of ingestion is harmful. It is related to the first rumor that you should eat less staple food. It’s true that you can eat enough, and the long-term effects on your health are the same reason.
