Is it okay for people with high blood sugar to eat an apple a day?

Is it okay for people with high blood sugar to eat an apple a day?

Sure.

Sure you can, and an apple doesn't cause big fluctuations in blood sugar after a meal.

This is probably a problem that many friends with high blood sugar are worried about, thinking that as long as the sweet fruits, they should be forbidden or eat less. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, here to clarify two issues:

First, many sweet fruits, including apples, are not guilty of "sweetness" and are not the "enemy" of friends with high blood sugar. Sugar in fruits includes sucrose, fructose and glucose, these three kinds of sugar according to the sweetness of the ranking, fructose is the sweetest, then sucrose, and finally glucose, but if on the glycemic ability, just the opposite, glucose is the most powerful, followed by sucrose, fructose is the worst, and fruits like apples containing fructose is higher, tastes more sweet, but this is a false phase, their ability to raise sugar is not so strong, the sugar index of apples is 36, much lower than the white rice (83%), and the sugar index is 36, much lower than the white rice (83%), the sugar index is 36, much lower than the high blood sugar friend "enemy". The index is 36, much lower than white rice (83.2), rich powder steamed buns (88.1), so a day if you eat a 100-200 grams of apples on high blood sugar friends is not as big as you think.

Secondly, simply from the sugar content, the sugar content of the apple is only 13.5%, the same take it and rice, steamed bread compared to a lot lower, on average, rice for 25.9%, steamed bread for 47%, the same eat 200 grams of apples, 200 grams of rice, the intake of sugar to be out of two times! If you switch to 200 grams of steamed bread, it is 3.5 times worse! Therefore, in accordance with the Chinese Medical Association of diabetic dietary recommendations, a day to eat 200 grams of fruit, it is precisely to choose apples such as sugar content is not high, and the glycemic index is also low fruit.

Therefore, every day you can rest assured that you can eat an apple, preferably between meals to eat apples as an additional meal, so that you can ensure that the fruit and the main meal in all the sugar in the day evenly distributed, so that the rise and fall of blood glucose fluctuations are more stable, of course, there is a point to bear in mind, don't eat more than one, a day to control the 200 grams or less can be.

Thanks for the answer.

Hyperglycemia, diabetic patients can eat an apple a day, a large apple, small apple can eat two, in short, the daily fruit intake to maintain 250 ~ 400g is still very appropriate (probably a handful of berries, two apple portion), of course, do not necessarily have to eat apples, a variety of fruits with is also very good.

Many sugar lovers will feel that they can not eat fruit, fruit gives us the impression of sweet and juicy, such food on the blood glucose is bound to have a greater impact, in fact, control the amount of fruit intake for sugar lovers is not too much of a problem, and fruits can provide a wealth of water-soluble vitamins, a variety of minerals, antioxidants, appropriate consumption is more beneficial than harmful. Although the sugar content of fruit is not low, about 7 to 25%, but they are rich in water, water can reduce the glycemic load, can be understood as a unit volume of the "glycemic factor" has been reduced, as long as the amount of controlled consumption, then, on the impact of blood glucose is controllable; fruits are also rich in dietary fiber, dietary fiber can slow down the speed of digestion of food, and can Fruits are also rich in dietary fiber, which slows down the digestion of food, slows down the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, and slows down the entry of glucose into the bloodstream, which also helps to stabilize blood sugar.

However, when eating fruits, it is recommended that sugar lovers choose the time when their blood sugar is relatively stable, for example, when their stomachs are a little hungry between meals, or when they feel they may have hypoglycemia after exercising, which can proactively prevent the occurrence of hypoglycemia. But be sure not to eat after a meal, after a meal is supposed to be the time period when blood sugar rises faster, and if you eat some food with higher sugar content, it is likely to make the blood sugar spike.

Eat fruit recommended fresh, do not juice to drink, juicing will destroy the rich dietary fiber in the fruit, dietary fiber helps to delay the absorption of sugar, but the loss of dietary fiber will allow glucose to enter the bloodstream more quickly, so that blood sugar spikes serious. In addition, the juicing process will also lose a lot of antioxidant components in the fruit. Sugar lovers are also not suitable for eating dried fruit, dried fruit water evaporation, the glycemic load increases dramatically, the volume is reduced dramatically, it is very easy to eat more, and the rate of glycemic increase, the impact on blood sugar is also greater.

In addition to apples, sugar lovers can also choose a variety of fruits to eat, but in order to make blood sugar smoother, you can choose more fruits with lower total sugar content and lower glycemic index, such as apples, pears, oranges, kiwi, grapefruit, strawberries, cherries, etc., and avoid fruits with higher total sugar content and higher glycemic index, such as fruits such as cinnamon, plums, durian, lychee, mangosteen, hawthorn, pineapple and so on. If you accidentally eat too much fruit, you can appropriately reduce the intake of staple foods to balance the intake of total carbohydrates.

It is OK for friends with high blood sugar to eat an apple a day. Many high blood sugar, diabetic sugar friends think they can not eat fruit, after all, fruit gives us the impression of sweet and juicy, such sweetness always feel the impact on blood sugar is greater, so it is best not to eat. But in fact, if sugar lovers control the amount of fruit is no problem, pay attention to their own blood sugar is relatively stable during the period to eat, if the blood sugar fluctuation is not recommended to eat. Blood sugar stabilization of sugar friends daily recommended intake of fruit 200 ~ 300g (about one and a half apples; ordinary people daily recommended intake of fruit 200 ~ 400g), for sugar friends, fruit is not inedible, for all people, fruit is not a lot of food, after all, it is nutritionally limited, and contains sugar can not be ignored. Sugar friends to eat fruit on the choice of their blood sugar relatively low time period, such as between meals, after a lot of exercise is a good time to eat fruit, but also proactive prevention of hypoglycemia occurs; daily outing can also be prepared for a fruit in the bag, if the sudden hypoglycemia, fruit is a good choice of glycemic.

Although fruits are also a kind of food with high sugar content, generally speaking, the sugar content of fruits is about 7~25%, however, because fruits are rich in water content, it can greatly reduce the glycemic load of food (to put it in some images, it is more dispersed in the fruits, "the glycemic factor" in the number of units), in this way, if small amount of fruits are eaten, the effect on blood sugar is still acceptable. In this way, if a small amount of fruit, the impact on blood sugar is still acceptable; fruit is also rich in dietary fiber, dietary fiber can not be directly digested and absorbed by the human body, which helps to slow down the speed of digestion of food, slowing down the speed of glucose into the bloodstream, thus slowing down the rate of increase in blood glucose to achieve aided in stabilizing the effect of blood glucose, on the whole, as long as the amount of control of eating fruits, the impact of glucose on sugar lovers blood sugar is not as serious as we thought. The portion of an apple is about 200~300g, for sugar lovers, medium-sized apples can be eaten 2 per day, the recommended one-time intake of about 100~150g, do not eat too much.

For sugar lovers, we usually use the "glycemic index" to measure the impact of food on the rate of rise in blood sugar per unit of time, the higher the glycemic index, the more unfavorable sugar lovers to eat, generally higher than 55 belongs to the medium-high glycemic index food, sugar lovers are best to control the amount of food, if higher than 70 is best to do not eat or eat less, strict control of the amount of food. Apples according to the different kinds of different, the glycemic index range is about 30 ~ 50, does not belong to the high glycemic food, for sugar lovers is still more suitable to eat a kind of fruit, the choice of apples is good. In addition, there are some other glycemic index is not high, the total sugar content is low, suitable for daily consumption of sugar users of fruits, such as cherries, strawberries, grapefruit, fruit cucumbers, small tomatoes, pears, crunchy peaches, papayas, etc. are not a problem. Some fruits may taste sweet, however their glycemic index is not high and they can also be consumed in moderation, such as oranges, tangerines, bananas and grapes. Note that high-glycemic fruits should be eaten sparingly, such as lychee, longan, pineapple, pineapple nectar, mango, durian and mangosteen.

For people with high blood sugar, it's okay to eat an apple a day. Of course it is best to be in a state of stable blood sugar control. And apple is also a suitable fruit for diabetics.

A medium-sized apple will do, between 100-150 grams. With a glycemic index of 36 and a sugar content of 13.7 grams per 100 grams, apples are a prudent fruit for people with high blood sugar.

So, as long as you control the serving size every day, you'll be fine.

Many people, think high blood sugar, diabetic patients can not eat fruit, and fruit has nothing to do with, in fact, diabetic patients can eat fruit, because the fruit contains vitamin C, carotene, and minerals are needed by diabetic patients. In the patient's blood sugar control stable state, it is possible to eat fruit.

Of course, high blood sugar in addition to eating apples, these fruits can also be eaten. For example, grapefruit, plums, cherries, peaches and so on can be eaten. You can try to use low GI as well as fruits containing less than 10% sugar according to your health condition. Be cautious of fruits with low GI but moderate sugar content (10%-20%), such as apples, pears, citrus and so on, and remember to control the amount you eat. For high GI index, sugar content is also high the best to eat less or do not eat, such as: raisins, dried dates, dried fruits such as cantaloupe, Laiyang pear, peach and rose grapes and so on.

The diagnostic standard of diabetes mellitus has not been reached, you should have reasonable diet control, you can eat apples, you should eat less each time, try to eat some fruit between meals. At the same time, postprandial blood glucose should be monitored, and if necessary, an OGTT test should be performed to exclude diabetes mellitus.

Blood glucose value belongs to abnormal glucose tolerance, which can be regulated by diet and exercise in both directions first. Diet low-fat, low-sugar, light and less oil, less staple food, more vegetables, fruits and staple food and high-fat food can be converted into sugar, so it is necessary to control the amount of food, staple food is not more than 100 grams a day, fruits, such as the size of an apple, fasting can be one a day, but the staple food should be reduced to 60 grams, pay attention to the proportion of vegetables in each meal should be accounted for more than seventy percent, with the daily postprandial exercise, the blood glucose can easily be restored to normalization.

Thanks for the invite.

Hyperglycemic or diabetic patients do not have to deliberately avoid eating fruit, daily intake of 250~400g (about a handful of berries, the amount of 2 oranges) is not a problem, every day to eat apples is possible, small / medium size can eat 2, large apples, 1 is more scientific, the recommendation of the sexual intake of a fruit is not more than 100g, apples are large can be cut in half, and the other half in between meals to eat.

Many patients with high blood sugar and diabetes are afraid of eating fruits, in fact, fruits can be appropriate intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, coarse grains and beans and other foods in the carbohydrates do not belong to the "refined carbohydrates", their rate of glycemic glucose can be accepted by the sugar users, but the sugar users need to avoid the "refined carbohydrates", that is, we usually talk about "refined sugar", such as pastries, cakes, bread, cookies and other foods are rich in refined sugar, they are directly added cane sugar. Carbohydrates", that is, we usually talk about "refined sugar", such as pastries, cakes, bread, cookies and other foods are rich in refined sugar, they directly add sucrose, in addition, most of them are made with refined white wheat flour, the rate of sugar is extremely fast, in addition to sweets, chocolates, etc., also refined sugar. Again, refined sugar. These foods are not impossible for sugar lovers to eat, you can prepare some when you go out, if there is a serious hypoglycemia, they can become a life-saving food.

Fruits and other foods are rich in water, dietary fiber, rich in water can also reduce the "glycemic load (food intake and blood glucose elevation index)", controlled intake, the impact on blood glucose is not great, dietary fiber can delay the speed of digestion of food, can slow down the speed of sugar into the blood glucose, help to stabilize the rate of increase of postprandial blood glucose. Fruit can also add rich water-soluble vitamins, antioxidant components, overall, as long as the appropriate consumption of sugar lovers is more beneficial than harmful.

Of course, among the fruits, sugar lovers can also choose more appropriate fruits. We generally use the "glycemic index (GI value)" to measure the impact of food on blood glucose, which represents the degree of impact of food on blood glucose per unit of time, generally speaking, higher than 55 belongs to the higher glycemic index of the fruits, sugar lovers are best to control the amount of food, higher than 70 food, sugar lovers need to less intake, strict control of the amount. Our choice of fruits can also choose the glycemic index as low as possible, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, oranges, grapefruit, kiwi (generally lower than 55) and other common fruits are good choices, avoid some of the total sugar content is higher, and the glycemic index is not low fruits, such as durian, lychee, cinnamon, pineapple, cantaloupe, rambutan and other fruits. Some fruits taste sweet, but the glycemic index is not high, sugar lovers can also be appropriate intake, because they are rich in fructose, fructose sweetness is high, but the impact on blood glucose is smaller, such as bananas, grapes, peaches and other fruits; there are also some fruits with a high glycemic index, but sufficient water, the glycemic load is low, as long as a small amount of food on the blood glucose is also not big, such as watermelon. However, it should be noted that some of the flavor is not too sweet, but the sucrose content is higher, the glycemic speed of the fruit, such as dragon fruit, should not be eaten more.


Fruits are best consumed fresh, do not juice and drink or eat dried fruit, the process of juicing loss of dietary fiber in the fruit, will make the absorption rate of sugar in the fruit increased dramatically, blood sugar spikes; dried fruit in the loss of water, the glycemic load rises dramatically, and the volume is reduced, easy to eat more, but also more likely to elevate blood glucose, but also unfavorable.

You can.

As long as it is consumed properly the benefits outweigh the drawbacks for sugar lovers.

Depends on your exercise.
