GridFame.id – Diabetics Of course, you have to control your daily diet.
If carelessly the illness can recur.
This of course makes health decline and daily activities are disrupted.
That’s why starting today remind families suffering from diabetes to be careful.
Especially in these 5 foods that can be fatal if consumed recklessly.
What kind of food is that?
It is important for people with diabetes to control their own blood sugar levels so they are close to normal.
Because if blood sugar levels rise uncontrolled, they are at risk of developing diabetes complications that can be fatal and lead to death because they attack important organs of the body.
Reported from Mayo Clinic (30/10/2020), the three most common complications of diabetes that often cause patients to die include heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and kidney disease.
This risk must be watched out for by people with diabetes.
One way that can be done is to avoid foods that can cause blood sugar levels to rise uncontrollably.
Launch page 2KUTV (1/11/2018), here are 5 foods that people with diabetes should avoid.
1. French Fries
While it’s tempting to enjoy an entire side of fries included with a main course when dining out, it’s best to ask for a side salad or fruit instead.
French fries are soaked in hydrogenated oil, which raises cholesterol and increases the risk of heart disease.
To satisfy a potato craving, try boiling or roasting sweet potatoes.
They are high in fiber and won’t raise blood sugar as much as white potatoes.
2. Refined carbohydrates
White rice, white bread, pasta, and other refined grains have been shown to increase blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
Refined grains tend to be high in sugar and low in dietary fiber.
Instead, swap refined carbohydrates for whole grains, which contain more fiber and help prevent post-meal spikes in blood sugar.
Can’t think of any other option than brown rice? Try adding these grains to your diet for a wide variety.
3. Breakfast cereal
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so diabetics should avoid certain types of cereal for their morning pleasure.
Foods that are consumed a lot since childhood are actually full of lots of sugar.
Even many breakfast cereals can be high in added carbohydrates and sugars, but low in protein and fiber.
If you can’t give up your love of cereal, then stick with cereals that contain whole grains. These include: rolled oatmeal, steel-cut oatmeal, and rolled bran.
4. Dried fruit
This one may come as a surprise since fruit is usually considered healthy and full of nutrients.
However, dried fruit contains a lot of carbohydrates that make blood sugar rise, and dried fruit can be very risky.
It contains highly concentrated amounts of carbohydrates and sugar, so serving sizes can be very misleading.
In comparison, one cup of raisins contains 115 grams of carbohydrates, while one cup of seedless grapes contains only 27 grams of carbohydrates.
5. Honey and maple syrup
It may seem obvious that refined white sugar should be avoided for people with diabetes, but it’s also important to realize that natural sweeteners can be just as risky.
according to Diabetes Quebec, one tablespoon (15 ml) of maple syrup contains about 15 g of carbohydrates.
This is the equivalent amount of carbohydrates and calories to the amount of white sugar.
Natural sweeteners contain very concentrated amounts of carbohydrates and should be used with caution.
