Diabetes and Powder: How do you eat blood sugar?

For diabetes patients, dietary management is an important part of the treatment process. In the face of powder, which is a delicious food, sugar friends may have a bit of a problem: can they eat it? How can we not raise blood sugar? Let’s open this mystery together. The powder bar is mainly made of starch, which means it is transformed into glucose in the body, thus affecting blood sugar levels. However, powder bars also contain rich dietary fibres, proteins and a variety of minerals, which are useful for sugar friends. Also, the sugar-literation of powder bars is relatively slow compared to rice flour, so it is feasible to eat in appropriate quantities. The key is “appropriate” and “how to eat”. First, sugar friends need to eat the powder as a staple, not as a dish. This means that if you eat powder, the intake of other staples, such as rice, noodles, etc., will be reduced accordingly to maintain a balance of total energy. It is recommended that the amount of powder bar per meal be kept at around 100 grams, so that it is delicious without excessive fluctuations in blood sugar. Second, the selection of low-GI (Linose Index) powder bars is also crucial. The lower the GI, the smaller the effect of food on blood sugar. Common low-GI-value powdered powders include red potato powder, sauerkraut powder, green bean powder, etc. These powder bars contain less starch and high food fibre content, which helps to reduce blood sugar. In addition, cooking and matching are important. High-heavy and high-heat cooking methods, such as fried oils and fryings, can increase sugar content and fat content in powder bars and the effect on blood sugar. As a result, low-heavy, low-calorie cooking, such as evaporation and soup, is more suitable for sugar friends. At the same time, a combination of high-fibre, low-GI-value vegetables, such as spinach, celery, broccoli, and good-quality protein-rich foods, such as eggs, fish, tofu, can increase abdominal saturation, reduce calorie intake and help control blood sugar. In general, sugar pals are able to eat powder in appropriate quantities, and the key is to master the principles of “appropriate” and “how to eat”. By choosing low GI bars, controlling consumption, choosing the right way to cook and combining other foods, sugar friends can maintain blood sugar stability while enjoying good taste.
