Chinese scientists have stressed the importance of breakfast for diabetics

Breakfast is not just the beginning of the day, but an important stage for people with diabetes, which helps to control blood sugar levels, strengthen health and maintain energy throughout the day. A new study has revealed how choosing the right food in the morning can significantly affect well-being and reduce the risk of complications. This was announced on October 29 by the Sohu media portal.

Studies have shown that skipping breakfast or choosing the wrong foods can significantly worsen the health of diabetics. Skipping a morning meal can cause a sharp drop in blood sugar or, conversely, overflow the body with excess carbohydrates and fats. For the stability of blood sugar, it is important to combine foods correctly.

Breakfast for diabetics should not be plentiful, but it must be balanced. It is important to observe the principle of "quality is the main thing, not quantity." To maintain an even blood sugar level, choose foods with a low glycemic index.

It is noted that instead of sweet potatoes, you can include oatmeal, steamed whole wheat buns, and buckwheat porridge in the diet. To maintain protein balance, it is recommended to eat soy milk, eggs, tofu, and lean meat, and vegetables should be given special attention to leafy green vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, and other foods that can be fried, boiled, and eaten raw.

To have a proper, balanced and high-quality breakfast, it is recommended to finish it within an hour after waking up. This will help you develop the habit of not skipping your morning meal. You should also follow a certain order: drink water or milk, eat vegetables, protein, and then basic foods that will help stabilize blood sugar levels. At the same time, experts recommend avoiding fried and highly processed foods.

For diabetics, breakfast is not only the beginning of the day, but also the starting point for maintaining health. A proper morning meal lays the foundation for stable blood sugar levels throughout the day and improves the quality of life.

Earlier, on October 8, Sohu talked about the symptoms and ways to prevent hypoglycemia. It was noted that not only skipping breakfast, but also lack of nutrition after physical training, alcohol consumption and stress can contribute to a decrease in blood sugar levels.
