Is Diabetes Overnutrition? Or is it malnourished?
Is Diabetes Overnutrition? Or is it malnourished?
To start with, diabetes is malnutrition. But why is it said to be malnourished even though the blood sugar is high because glucose is abundant in the blood? It would be difficult for most people to understand.
Malnutrition is simply classified into primary malnutrition and secondary malnutrition.
Primary malnutrition means that people cannot eat because there is no food around them. If you starve for food shortages or extreme diets, you will suffer from primary malnutrition.
On the other hand, if you eat well, but the food you eat does not reach its final destination and leaks in the middle, it is called secondary malnutrition.
The final destination for food is the cell. Food enters the mouth, passes through the stomach and small intestine, and is absorbed by the blood. Some of it is used by the liver and the rest goes into each cell.
When glucose, which is the main energy source, cannot enter the final destination cells and circulates in the blood vessels, it accumulates in the blood and blood sugar rises.
However, from the point of view of the cell, glucose does not come in and it cannot function properly, which is called secondary malnutrition.
Diabetes is a condition in which glucose is full of blood vessels but cannot enter cells.
The correct management of diabetes isn't just lowering your blood sugar, it's getting your cells to use it completely.
Would it be better to starve breakfast? Or is it better to starve for dinner?
It is best not to starve.
It is good to keep three meals a day.
It is also good to prevent complications when the blood sugar is kept in a good range.
Nevertheless, if you have to eat two meals a day, eating breakfast is the worst option.
After breakfast, insulin secretion is easy even after lunch and dinner, so blood sugar management after meals can be maintained well.
If you don't eat breakfast, you won't be able to maintain blood sugar even if you eat the same amount.
When carbohydrates come in in the morning, the pancreas prepares insulin for the next food. If you skip breakfast, you will have less insulin after lunch and dinner, and your blood sugar will rise as you come out late.
This doesn't happen when you're starving for dinner or lunch.
Therefore, it is important to have breakfast so that your body won't be overwhelmed.
Would it be good for your health to grind food in a blender?
There are many people who cannot eat breakfast properly due to busy preparations for work, grind things in a blender and eat them with porridge or juice.
Healthy people, as well as diabetics, are not good at eating ground food.
Even if you eat the same amount, your blood sugar rises quickly and a lot. In other words, blood sugar cannot be controlled.
The digestion of food begins with seeing it. When you see food, your brain reacts and instructs you to prepare for the secretion of stomach acid and bile, saliva comes out of your mouth, and directs the movement of your esophagus and stomach.
About 5 minutes after eating, the pancreas begins to release the prepared insulin and starts making new insulin.
On average, 15 to 30 minutes of preparation time is required, but since normal food is slowly decomposed and absorbed, it rises slowly.
However, when you eat ground food, it arrives right into your stomach and absorption is also rapidly progressing, so your blood sugar rises rapidly.
More insulin is released to compensate for this.
In this case, your blood sugar may drop even more, and you may experience a paradoxical situation in which you become more hungry even after eating.
In the short term, the blood sugar gap becomes larger, making the body difficult and in the long term gaining weight.
