Our national tradition is to feed the guests to a dump. Let even against their will. And the owners insist that the guests try all the dishes. But a couple with a diabetes at a festive table a person should be guided by the eastern wisdom - plenty to admire, slightly to eat and never eat. For a diabetic with overweight, you should, first of all, think about correcting the body weight in the direction of losing weight. It is enough to look around with an appreciative glance to immediately decide for yourself which products you can and which you can not eat. In almost all cases, the cause of obesity is quite simple - the patient "did not eat in himself." And at the festive table you will constantly put new treats on the plate. It is enough to try and praise the mistress, but leave the food untouched. One can recall another Eastern wisdom - even one person will manage to lead a horse to water, but a hundred people will not make her drink.
But you do not need to defiantly reject even with diabetes all consecutive meals. In order not to offend the persistent owners of the feast, you can try and "forbidden fruit", do not argue and take offense at not too modest hosts. In this case, remember that snacks not only stimulate the appetite, promoting the assimilation of food. They sometimes force us to eat extra food for the body. For people with overweight, this becomes a problem.
A special conversation with diabetes should be devoted to sweets. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that is characterized by systemic damage to all internal organs with a change in their functional capacity. Diabetes disrupts the work of almost the entire body and slowly turns a person into a rubble. There are many reasons for this, but the main trouble is because of sugar. Popularly expressed, a high level of glucose in the blood "sugar" red blood cells. That is, red blood cells that carry and saturate all organs and tissues with oxygen with the help of a special protein of hemoglobin. Strongly deformed, they can no longer "squeeze" into the narrow capillaries of the circulatory system. Because of what metabolic processes in organs, local vascular blood flow and tissue respiration are disturbed. Therefore, a diabetic for sugar is vetoed. But now many manufacturers of culinary products are happy for proper nutrition and produce products with sugar substitutes as sweeteners. From such a treat, you can not refuse. Just do not abuse this dessert. One should bear in mind that you can only regale if you have a stable normal state of health, there is no acetone in your urine, and your blood glucose level is normal.
Here is a short list of products that can be eaten at any festive table without limits. These are fresh vegetables (except for mature legumes, potatoes and corn), greens, boiled mushrooms. Of fruits - lemons, viburnum and cranberries. But you must refuse or minimize the use of vegetable and butter, mayonnaise, condensed milk, sour cream, hard cheese varieties over 45% fat, fatty fish, any smoked products, fatty meat, sausage, especially smoked, any fried foods. Of course, completely eliminate alcohol from drinking. What is left? Within reasonable limits, low-fat varieties of boiled meat and fish, sour-milk products, cheeses with fat content less than 45% (suluguni, brynza), diabetic bread from wholemeal flour, eggs are allowed.
Do not go to the table hungry, try to muffle your appetite. This will help cucumber, tomato, carrots. To participate in a merry feast on a par with everyone, and not sit with hungry eyes, designate on the table "their" dishes. Remember that food should be rich in fiber and vegetable fibers. Give up refined food! By the way, a lot of plant fibers are found in apples, oranges, berries, pears, cabbage, coarse bread, carrots and many other root crops.
Celebratory feast is better to leave with not completely extinct appetite. Information about saturation is in our head, and not in the stomach - this is the physiology of man. We often want to eat, when our body does not need it at all. Appetite in speed will disappear - after all the body has already received enough food. Simply regulating the body's systems were somewhat delayed with the transmission of a signal about saturation in the brain. That is why nutritionists are strongly advised to thoroughly and slowly chew food. A thorough chewing of food not only contributes to its absorption, but also dulls the appetite. That is, it prevents us from eating an unnecessary food for the body. With diabetes it is not just useful, but vital!
Returning from the guests home, it's good to drink a dream of kefir, so that it's easier to digest a treat. If you seriously violated a rigid diet, for example, an unauthorized product was eaten or an extra amount of food was taken, it is important to prevent unwanted consequences. You may need to finish insulin. It is useful to walk for 30-40 minutes or more. Or run an easy run of 5 kilometers. Now we know how to eat properly when eating diabetes.
