Does drinking brown sugar water increase blood sugar?

Brown sugar is made from sugar cane and mainly contains glucose, fructose, sucrose and other ingredients. Whether the blood sugar rises after drinking brown sugar water is related to the patient’s own situation and the amount of drinking, which can be analyzed according to the following situations.1. Healthy people: Healthy people who have not suffered from diabetes will generally not have their blood sugar rise after drinking brown sugar water. This is because the body’s insulin can be secreted on demand, from the first sip of sugar water, insulin began to secrete to regulate blood sugar, even after drinking a lot of brown sugar water, insulin will continue to secrete, so that blood sugar is maintained in a relatively constant state, rising slowly and limited; 2, diabetic patients: after suffering from diabetes, drinking brown sugar water will make the patient’s blood sugar rise. Because of the relative insufficiency of insulin secretion, after drinking brown sugar water, insulin can’t keep the blood sugar peak down and blood sugar will rise. Patients with abnormal glucose tolerance or impaired fasting blood sugar, if they drink too much brown sugar water, which exceeds the secretion capacity of insulin, blood sugar will also rise at this time; 3. Patients with hypoglycemia: hypoglycemia refers to blood sugar lower than 2.8mmol/L. Patients with hypoglycemia drink brown sugar water when they are conscious, and their blood sugar will rise rapidly to a normal state, i.e. to 3.9-6.1mmol/L. Subsequently, if the hypoglycemia If the patient is not suffering from diabetes, the blood sugar will be stabilized at the normal state; if the patient is suffering from diabetes, it is possible that the blood sugar will continue to rise beyond the normal level if he continues to drink brown sugar water. To sum up, patients can drink brown sugar water in moderation according to their own situation, hypoglycemic patients and normal people can drink in moderation, but not too much, so as not to affect appetite and digestive function, while patients with diabetes and abnormal glucose tolerance are recommended not to drink, so as to avoid the situation of excessive increase in blood sugar. At the same time, diabetic patients should strictly limit the food of pure sugar, such as brown sugar, white sugar, yellow sugar, rock sugar, honey, etc. In addition, diabetic patients need to have overall control over the daily intake of calories, which is more beneficial to the prognosis of diabetic patients.
