What kind of diet for type 2 diabetes?

For people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is a therapeutic dietary table number 9. The purpose of special nutrition is to restore the broken carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. It is logical that in the first place you need to give up carbohydrates, but this is not quite so: the absolute rejection of carbohydrate products will not only not help, but will worsen the patient's condition. For this reason, fast carbohydrates (sugar, confectionery) are replaced with fruits, cereals. The diet should be balanced and full, varied and boring.

• Of course, the menu removes sugar, jams, cakes and pastries. Sugar should be replaced by analogues: it is xylitol, aspartame, sorbitol.
• Meals become more frequent (6 times a day), and portions - less.
• Breaks between meals should not be more than 3 hours.
• The last meal is 2 hours before bedtime.
• As snacks should be used fruits, berry or vegetable mixes.
• Do not ignore breakfast: it starts the metabolism for the whole day, and with diabetes it is very important. Breakfast should be easy, but satisfying.
• When making the menu, choose low-fat, boiled, or steamed products. Meat must be cleaned from the body before cooking, and the skin must be removed from the chicken. All foods eaten should be fresh.
• You will have to reduce the caloric content of the diet, especially if you are overweight.
• It is necessary to limit the use of salt, and also to refuse from smoking and reception of alcoholic drinks.
• The diet should contain enough fiber: it facilitates the absorption of carbohydrates, reduces the absorption of glucose in the digestive tract, stabilizes the level of glucose in the bloodstream, cleanses the intestine from toxic substances, removes puffiness.
• When choosing bread is better to stay on dark varieties of baking, you can with the addition of bran.
• Simple carbohydrates are replaced by complex, for example, cereals: oat, buckwheat, corn, etc.

Try not to overeat and gain weight. It is recommended to drink about 1.5 liters of liquid per day.

For overweight patients, a doctor can prescribe a diet of # 8, which is used to treat obesity, or combine both diets according to individual characteristics.

Remember: a patient with type 2 diabetes can not experience hunger. You should eat at the same time, but if you feel hungry between meals, be sure to eat fruit, chew carrots or drink tea: drown out hunger. Observe the balance: overeating for a diabetic patient is no less dangerous.
