Diet number 9 for diabetics: how to eat properly with diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a disease, one of the main symptoms of which is the increase in blood sugar. Now there are several scientifically based diets that a specialist can recommend to a patient with such a diagnosis. The main among them is diet No. 9 for diabetics, created by the prominent Soviet dietician Manuil Isaakovich Pevzner.
Despite the fact that it was developed relatively long ago, the recommendations have not lost their relevance. This diet is designed not to damage the balance of nutrition, first stabilize, and then lower sugar and cholesterol.
The only contraindication to the appointment of this diet can be a serious condition of the patient.
The most effective is a diet prescribed simultaneously with the onset of other medical procedures. In this case, you can quickly determine the rate of carbohydrates, which, being consumed daily, will not harm the patient's health.
Recommendations diet - this is just the basis. In each case, the doctor develops his diet, based on the testimony of the blood sugar and urine of the patient, as well as his taste preferences and the presence of allergies to certain foods.
Basic rules
The "table number 9" diet divides food products into allowed and forbidden foods, based on their glycemic index. It depends on whether the product will increase the level of sugar in the blood after consumption. Preference is given to those whose index is lower.
The diet prescribes to eat 5-6 times a day in small portions. Make the menu so that the total weight of all eaten at one time did not exceed 400 g.
The basic rule is to keep proteins in the diet at a level that is recommended for all healthy people, to reduce the amount of consumed fats and especially carbohydrates. It is not recommended to eat the entire daily norm of carbohydrates for one meal - it is better to distribute them evenly throughout the day.
Under categorical prohibition, everything is sweet, fatty, fried, spicy, smoked, any canned foods and spirits. Reduce sugar and salt intake to a minimum. If possible, switch to sugar substitutes.
