[Story] Xiao Li's father is also pondering what birthday gift to prepare for his own mother. He thought about it, and considered Baihe Mei brand Yihong capsules. Since his mother has diabetes, she is very careful with her diet and basically doesn't touch staple foods at all. It's estimated that the cake Xiao Li bought won't be eaten much either. So he decided to buy some vegetables for his elderly mother. He heard that eating vegetables is good for diabetic patients, and if they eat more, they can even skip the staple food.
[Question] Do diabetic patients really have to avoid staple foods completely?
[Expert Answer] Many diabetic patients believe that dietary treatment means starving therapy, eating very little or even no staple food (grains) in each meal. In fact, this is incorrect. The main source of energy for the human body comes from carbohydrates, which are commonly referred to as sugar. Not eating staple foods or consuming too little will lead to a lack of glucose needed by the body. The body then has to use fat to release energy to meet daily needs. However, when fat generates energy, it inevitably produces ketone bodies, which are excreted through the kidneys and may result in ketonuria. Severe cases could lead to ketoacidosis, causing coma. Therefore, whether you are healthy or a diabetic patient, your daily intake of staple foods should not be less than 150 grams; otherwise, it is very easy to develop ketoacidosis, affecting your health.
