Beans and Types of Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus can occur in one of two forms:
- Type 1 diabetes - dependent on insulin.
- Diabetes of the second type is insulin-independent.
For the normalization of metabolic processes, ideally the diet should be selected by the physician individually. In this case, all the characteristics of the patient are taken into account:
- type and severity of diabetes;
- blood sugar level;
- age;
- physical activity;
- the presence of excess weight;
- needed daily caloric intake;
- medications taken.
Diabetes of the first type
Treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes involves a therapeutic diet and the correct selection of the number of medications to smooth the blood glucose shocks, as well as to prevent possible complications of the disease. At the same time strict adherence to the use of specific products does not play a big role, but their low caloric content and the minimum carbohydrate content are important. The main therapy here is the introduction of insulin doses - correctly calculated depending on the amount of food eaten.
For this, there are certain tables indicating the compliance of the carbohydrate content with the number of grain units( XE).1 XE = 10-12 grams of carbohydrates. Hence the dose of the necessary insulin is calculated.
Thus, when using beans as one of the main products in a diet for type 1 diabetes, it is not the type of the bean, but its quantity that is important.
When preparing beans for a person with diabetes, you need to correlate the amount and content of carbohydrates in it with the amount of XE.The norm for a diabetic is one-time use of 70-90 grams of carbohydrates.
As can be seen from the table below, with low fat content, beans have a large amount of protein. A high number of complex carbohydrates contribute to a long saturation and slow digestion of food, respectively, the absence of a sharp release of glucose into the blood, which is extremely necessary for type 1 diabetes. In general, any kind of beans has a low glycemic index and does not require an immediate insulin response of the body.
Bean beans are especially recommended for type 1 diabetes, because, along with the content of useful substances, in terms of XE it contains the least amount of carbohydrates, and the amount of fiber in such beans is large.
