It is suitable for diabetic patients who drink too much and lose weight.
10. Yam: The viscous components in yam are also formed by mucin. Mucin can wrap other foods in the intestine, so that sugar is slowly absorbed. This effect can inhibit the sharp rise of postprandial blood sugar, and avoid excessive insulin secretion, so that blood sugar can be better regulated. Yam also contains magnesium, zinc and other effective components necessary for insulin secretion, as well as vitamin B 1 and vitamin B2. These components promote the metabolism of glucose in the blood. In addition, yam also contains amylase, which is an enzyme that digests sugar, so that sugar no longer accumulates in the blood.
1 1. taro: taro contains mucin, magnesium, zinc, vitamin B 1 and other effective components, and also contains galactan, which can effectively lower blood pressure and cholesterol. In addition, it is very important that yam is low in calories. Taro is the most suitable food when diet must be restricted due to diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia and obesity. 100g taro has only 58kg of heat. People usually cook taro before eating, which is easy to destroy mucin, but it is beneficial to the absorption of other effective components.
12. yellow diet: sweet and warm in nature, with the functions of nourishing five internal organs and nourishing essence and blood. Modern pharmacological research shows that chrysophanol A and chrysophanol B contained in yellow diet have hypoglycemic effect. The Japanese extracted these two substances from the yellow diet and made them into a hypoglycemic drug-Tangniaoqing, which was used to treat diabetes with satisfactory results.
13. Cinnamon: It is pungent and warm, and has the function of nourishing Yuanyang and warming the spleen and stomach. American scientists have found that cinnamon can increase the level of insulin in the blood and has an auxiliary treatment effect on diabetic patients. It is suggested to add 1 ~ 3 grams of cinnamon powder when cooking, but cinnamon is pungent and hot, which is not suitable for diabetic patients with yin deficiency.
14. Tremella fuciformis: sweet, with the functions of nourishing yin, regulating dryness, promoting fluid production and nourishing the stomach. It is not only rich in nutrition, but also has high medicinal value, and is known as the "pearl among bacteria". Tremella is low in heat energy and rich in dietary fiber, which can delay the increase of blood sugar in diabetic patients. In recent years, it has been reported that tremella contains more tremella polysaccharide, which affects the hypoglycemic activity of insulin. Animal experiments show that tremella polysaccharide can prolong the action time of insulin in animals from 3 ~ 4 hours to 8 ~ 12 hours. Therefore, diabetics should often eat tremella. Usage: tremella fuciformis 15 ~ 20g, stewed, once a day.
15. Porphyra: Porphyra is rich in Porphyra polysaccharide, protein, fat, carotene and vitamins, among which Porphyra polysaccharide can significantly reduce fasting blood sugar. Diabetic patients can eat laver before meals to lower their blood sugar. Generally, laver can be used to make soup.
16. Auricularia auricula: Auricularia auricula contains Auricularia auricula polysaccharide, vitamins, protein, carotene and minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium and iron, among which Auricularia auricula polysaccharide has hypoglycemic effect.

23. Walnut: also known as walnut. It can tonify kidney, solidify essence, warm lung, relieve asthma, moisten intestine and relieve constipation. Taking walnut leaves orally after decoction can accelerate the assimilation of sugar in the body and reduce blood sugar, which is suitable for elderly diabetic patients.
24. Fish: Scientists at the National Institute of Public Health in the Netherlands found that the elderly who often eat fish are more capable of decomposing and utilizing sugar than those who don't. Danish scientists understand this information and directly treat diabetes with cod liver oil. After taking cod liver oil for 8 weeks, the blood pressure and blood cholesterol content of some diabetic patients decreased obviously, thus inhibiting the occurrence and development of diabetic heart disease. Experts believe that fish and fish liver contain a special fatty acid, which can improve the ability of human tissues and cells to process sugar, coordinate and strengthen the reflex regulation between blood sugar and insulin secretion, and make it normalized. Therefore, diabetics should eat more fish.
25. Soybean: Soybean contains soybean protein, cellulose and polysaccharide, which has a good effect on the pancreas and can promote insulin secretion, thus lowering blood sugar.
26. Pig pancreas: Pig pancreas is a supplement to human pancreas, which can regulate the function of pancreas and has a similar effect to insulin.
