Diabetes is a disease where lifestyle management is crucial, and among these, dietary management is key to blood sugar control. Michael Dancinger, an American diet expert specializing in weight loss and disease management, shared "dietary management tips for diabetics" on WebMD.

 

◇ As less processed foods

 

Diabetic patients should consume whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat, and barley. Whole grains are richer in nutrients like fiber and minerals than refined grains like white rice and wheat flour, so they cause a smaller rise in blood sugar levels when consumed. They also provide a longer-lasting feeling of fullness, which helps control food intake. When choosing whole grains, it is advisable to check the nutritional information and select products that contain 100% whole grains.

 

◇ Consume 8g or more of fiber per meal

 

When consuming a carbohydrate-heavy diet, you should consume at least 8g of fiber per meal. A study by the University of Otago in New Zealand found that people who consume a fiber-rich diet have a 15–30% lower risk of death from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, compared to those who do not, and that the risk of developing the disease decreases by 5–27% for every additional 8g of fiber consumed. Fiber is abundant in various vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and cabbage, as well as fruits like berries and citrus fruits, and legumes.

 
 
◇ Replace with healthy fats
 
Instead of reducing carbohydrate intake, add foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids to your diet. Unsaturated fatty acids are nutrients that improve cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol levels, helping to prevent cardiovascular disease, a major complication of diabetes. Unsaturated fatty acids are abundant in nuts, avocados, and olive oil.

 

◇ Slice vegetables and store them.

 

Slice various vegetables, such as spinach and lettuce, and store them in an airtight container. This makes it convenient to take them out and use them as cooking ingredients, and allows you to easily consume vegetables by making a simple and quick salad to accompany your meals. It also helps increase your fiber intake.

 

◇ Cut dessert into pieces before eating

 

It is advisable to avoid consuming desserts high in sugar and fat as much as possible. This is because if you cannot resist the urge to eat dessert, you gradually become accustomed to sweetness and eventually struggle with blood sugar control. If you do eat dessert, you should divide it into smaller portions and consume only a small amount. Reducing your meal portions by the amount of calories consumed from the dessert is essential.

 

============

To slice and store vegetables in advance

I hadn't thought about it,

I think it will be easier to eat if you prepare it like this.

Take it out right away to cook, or

You can also eat it as a salad.

    채소를 미리 썰어서 보관한다는 거는 참 좋은 방법 같습니다. 그리고 간식을 소량식 분리해서 냉장고에 넣어놓고 꺼내 먹는 것도 괜찮은 방법입니다. 그런데 하루에 기준치 이상 먹지 않도록 잘 통제해야겠어요.
