What fruits are good for diabetes?

Thanks for the invite.

There are many diabetic patients are more taboo to eat fruits, after all, most of the fruits are sweet and juicy to eat, giving us the feeling that the impact on blood sugar will be greater. But in fact, sugar friends moderate intake of fruit is no problem, although the fruit does contain part of the sugar, but they have enough water, dietary fiber content is high, there is a certain inhibition of the effect of the rate of increase in blood sugar, and fruit is rich in nutrients, for the sugar friends to consume properly in fact, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

The Dietary Guidelines recommend that fruit intake be controlled at 200~400g per day, which is roughly the size of a handful of berries or two oranges. For sugar lovers can be controlled at about 200~300g, why can't fruit be eaten more? After all, the sugar content of fruit is not negligible, excessive intake of fruit will still pose a threat to blood sugar, and will cause nutritional imbalance.



So, what fruit is good for sugar lovers? In fact, there is no certainty that sugar lovers can not eat the fruit, the main thing is to control the amount of intake, high sugar content of the fruit we eat a little less, relatively low sugar content of some of the fruit we can eat some more appropriate, high glycemic rate of the fruit to eat a little less, low can be more than a few mouthfuls of food intake variety is the richer the better, the fruit is also the same, needless to say that which kind of fruit on the blood glucose impact of the small, then staring a kind of eat.

Of course, for sugar lovers, which kind of fruits have a big impact on blood sugar and which kind is small? Glycemic rate is higher, the total sugar content of the common fruits, such as pineapple / pineapple, hawthorn, bananas (glycemic rate is not high, but the total sugar content is too high, it is not appropriate to eat more), cinnamon, lychee, etc., these fruits sugar friends are not unable to eat, but pay attention to control the amount of intake. More suitable for sugar lovers to eat common fruits such as apples, pears, apricots, plums, grapefruit, cherries, strawberries, grapes, mangoes, papayas, kiwis, oranges, peaches, are good choices, most of them glycemic index (a measure of the unit of time, the food on the blood glucose impact of the speed of the indicators, generally higher than 55 belong to the middle-high glycemic index of the food, higher than 70 need to strictly control the amount of intake) is not higher than 40, the total sugar content is also relatively low. The total sugar content is also relatively low.



Some of my friends may well find it strange that there are many fruits that have a low impact on blood glucose that are very sweet in flavor, do they really have little impact on blood glucose? In fact, the sweetness of food does not determine its ability to affect blood glucose. Sweetness does not mean high sugar content, nor does it mean high glycemic index. For example, we all think that the banana is sweet, the glycemic index of banana is about 52, in fact, it does not belong to the fruits with high glycemic index. On the contrary, the glycemic index of hawthorn is higher, but hawthorn is very acidic, this is due to the high content of fructose in bananas, and fructose's sweetness is 2-3 times of glucose and sucrose, so it tastes sweet, but fructose is a kind of sugar that can be metabolized through intestines, and it is a kind of sugar that can be metabolized through intestines. Fructose is a kind of sugar that can be metabolized through intestines and has less influence on blood sugar; while the organic acid content in hawthorn is so high that it even overpowers its sweetness, so it tastes mainly sour, but its total sugar content is not low.

There are several special fruits, such as dragon fruit, dragon fruit flavor is light, many friends will feel that eating dragon fruit should not have much impact on blood sugar, in fact, dragon fruit happens to be a sucrose, glucose-based fruits, fructose accounted for a relatively low percentage, so eat will not be too sweet, the glycemic index of dragon fruit in fact, 59, the ability to influence the impact of blood glucose and can not be ignored, so you can not eat more. For example, watermelon, watermelon glycemic index is very high, about 72, but the watermelon "glycemic load" is very low, glycemic load indicates the link between food intake and blood glucose elevation, intake of the same amount of food, the higher the glycemic load, the greater the impact on blood glucose. As long as our intake of watermelon is not too high, the glycemic load has not reached the threshold of letting our blood sugar spike, then eat some watermelon on the blood sugar will not be so terrible impact, so sugar lovers can eat watermelon.
