There are many kinds of foods on the market that are marked with "sugar-free" foods. When diabetics choose sugar-free foods, they must look at the list of ingredients, and do not choose sugar-free foods with "no sucrose" and "high content of thickeners".
Wu Hao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, explained that according to the Chinese national standard “General Rules for the Labeling of Prepackaged Special Dietary Foods,†sugar-free requirements refer to sugars per 100 g or 100 ml in solid or liquid foods. The amount is not more than 0.5% (ie 0.5 g). However, many businesses will adopt the concept of stealing or deliberately confusing publicity, and equating “sugarless food†with “sucrose-free foodâ€. This requires consumers to carefully read the food ingredient list.
Sugar-free foods do not add more "energy sugars". Not all sugars do not contain them, because many sugar-free foods are essentially made from sugar (carbohydrates), such as dumplings and crackers. So for people with diabetes, if the blood sugar is stable, you can eat a little "sugar-free food", but the intake should be included in the total daily intake of staple foods.
In addition, thickeners, stabilizers, and quality improvers are added to a considerable portion of non-sucrose foods to improve the taste of foods. Commonly used thickening substitutes are dextrins produced by starch hydrolysis, modified starches and the like. Therefore, before purchasing sugar-free products, sugar friends must look at the ingredient list and beware of high levels of thickeners or sugars other than sucrose, which can affect blood sugar.
Yu Yongchao, a nutritionist at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, suggested that elderly people with diabetes can buy mixed food products daily, but don’t be fooled by “sugar-free foods,†especially cakes and biscuits. Because although there is no added sucrose, refined wheat flour can still rapidly increase blood sugar. Moreover, while the sweetness is reduced, the fat content may not decrease but increase. The reason is that some crackers and snacks are known as sugar-free and high-fiber, but in order to improve the taste, the content of oils and fats will be increased to make the food more smooth, but it will not explain the high fat content.
Walking aids is an auxiliary device to assist the human body to support weight, maintain balance and walk. It can also be called walking aids, walking stands or walking aids. Among walking aids, walking aids can provide the greatest support and stability. Therefore, it is mainly used for patients with weak strength and poor balance, such as the elderly after orthopedic surgery, patients with poor coordination and Parkinson's disease, and children with cerebral palsy or developmental retardation. With the support of equipment, people with less flexible legs can walk and take care of themselves.
According to the structure and function of Walker, it can be divided into two categories: stick walker and frame walker. The walking aid is simple and light in structure, but its supporting area is small and its stability is poor; The frame walker has a complex structure, but it has a large supporting area and good stability.
Before using the walker, the user's physical condition and use environment should be comprehensively evaluated, including balance ability, lower limb bearing ability, gait, upper limb ability, cognitive ability, lifestyle and use environment.
Select a walker
1. The texture should be light and easy for patients to move.
2. The walker should be placed stably on the ground;
3. The height of the walker should be suitable or adjustable. When the patient stands in the walker and his hands are naturally sagging, he can hold the handrails on both sides and apply pressure on the handrails to ensure the support of weight and balance control;
4. The width of the walker should be moderate, not too wide.
