FREE DIET OR CUSTOMIZE
As, we have seen so far, the person with diabetes can and should make a free diet plan, once received adequate training, so you can share some daily food for others to make the appropriate menu to its potential or imperatives. This is what we call the strategy of equivalence or exchanges, which is planning a daily quantities of food “generic”, representatives of the group, chosen as the calories and caloric pre-sharing, and attach a few tables to replace those equivalences generics, for other foods that, combined, would allow the drafting of a menu according to taste patient, and possibilities.
This dietary planning system is the result of work and consensus of several years, various medical and scientific equipment and Societies, in order to achieve a unified system of reference accepted by all, similarly to other countries so that serve as a basis for any publication, and for all diabetics of all communities and cities have diets, more or less personalized, with a unique system developed and approved, to avoid confusion .
The equivalence can be expressed in units of exchange or in grams. As den listings replacement:
Grams, we have subsistence allowance equivalent.
Units exchange or rations, we allowances for units of exchange or rationing .
For exchanges and equivalents are grouped foods:
1) milk
2) food protein
3) hydrocarbon food: cereals and pulses and tubers
4) fruit
5) vegetables
6) fats, equivalent to 7 groups food diet balanced, as we saw at the beginning, except that unifying groups 3 and 6 in one, the group called hydrocarbons or Starchy.
Concept of (ration)
An exchange is the amount of food that contains 10 grams of one of the energy nutrients: protein, fats or carbohydrates.
1 exchanges CR = 10 grams of carbohydrates or
10 SW of proteins or
10 GR fat
Diabetes education in this same concept has been called long intake, but we prefer to replace it with the term exchange, because ration is also a culinary term or trade shows that the normal portion of a food that usually consume an adult, so as confusing.
Diet exchange: the possibility of eating a personalized and tailor.
