Two types of treatment table No. 9.
There are two varieties of diet No. 9. Thus, diet No. 9a is indicated for mild diabetes, sometimes for moderate disease, without the use of insulin. In this case, the diet allows you to level out disturbances in carbohydrate, fat, protein and water-salt metabolism. Diet No. 9a fully complies with the rules of table No. 9 with the only difference that the energy value is more significantly limited due to carbohydrates and fats. The energy value should be about 1650 kcal.
For diabetes of moderate severity, as well as its severe form, under insulin therapy, diet No. 9b is recommended. Its goal is the same as that of the type “a” diet. This is a complete nutrition in terms of energy value, protein, fat and carbohydrate content, as well as vitamins and minerals. Its energy value is 2800-3200 kcal. In this case, culinary processing and diet are similar to diet No. 15.

How is nutrition different for type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
The main difference between type 1 diabetes is the use of insulin. However, proper and balanced nutrition is mandatory. Eating white bread, fruits with a high glycemic index, sweet juices, and chocolate is allowed in small quantities, while in case of type 2 diabetes it is best to exclude these foods. If the patient is not obese, sugar intake up to 50 g per day is allowed.
In type 2 diabetes, diet is directly the source of a healthy lifestyle. Normalizing the patient's weight plays a key role. It is necessary to reduce the calorie content of foods, not their quantity, in other words, adhere to a low-carbohydrate diet. If you overload your digestive system with carbohydrates, blood glucose levels increase and insulin cannot cope on its own.
Eggplants for diabetes
One of the main advantages of eggplants is their low GI (glycemic index), they consist of 90% water. The fruit is rich in beneficial vitamins, microelements and dietary fiber, promotes the production of insulin, which has a positive effect on the patient’s pancreas. Reduces the concentration of glucose in the body, improves water-salt balance, strengthens the walls of blood vessels. It has a positive effect on the psychological and physical state of a diabetic, the person becomes less irritable.
Eggplants are very useful in the fight against diabetes, in addition, they can be very tasty to cook
There are many recipes for delicious eggplant preparation. To improve the health of the body, it is not necessary to consume them every day; 2 times a week is quite enough. It is worth choosing eggplants with thin skin and fewer seeds. It is not recommended to fry them; boiled, stewed or baked eggplants will be much healthier.
Basic nutrition rules
For a patient with diabetes, not only diet is important, but also food intake. Daily meals must be organized according to the following rules:
