Can you eat peaches with diabetes?

If a diabetic patient’s blood sugar is well controlled, i.e. fasting blood sugar is controlled below 7.0mmol/L, 2 hours after meal blood sugar is controlled below 10.0mmol/L, while glycated hemoglobin index cannot exceed 7.5%, he can eat some peaches in moderation between meals. Because the sugar content of peaches is relatively low, so eating peaches in moderation will not cause a sharp rise in blood sugar of patients. Peaches are rich in calcium, phosphorus, protein, fat, pectin, iron, organic acids and other components, which are rich in nutrition. Among them, the pectin contained in peaches is one of the soluble fiber, which helps gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevents constipation. Calcium and iron in peaches are relatively important trace elements for the human body. Eating peaches in moderation can help replenish calcium and iron and prevent the occurrence of symptoms such as calcium deficiency and anemia in patients. In addition, the organic acids contained in peaches can enhance the appetite of diabetic patients and help the secretion of stomach acid, thus promoting digestion. However, it is not recommended that diabetic patients eat more, after all, peaches contain more sugar, excessive consumption is likely to lead to an increase in blood sugar, which is not good for the patient’s condition. In addition, diabetic patients should pay attention to the time when eating peaches, if the peaches are large, it is usually recommended that patients eat half of them between meals, it is best not to eat fruit before or immediately after meals to avoid excessive sugar intake. In addition to peaches, diabetic patients can also eat some other fruits, such as saints, lemons, guavas, grapefruit, etc., under the advice of their doctors, but they should also be careful not to overdo it.
