I often hear some diabetic patients say: “I have diabetes, I can’t eat fruit”. So, can diabetic patients eat fruit or not? How should they eat? In fact, “diabetic patients can not eat fruit” is a big misunderstanding. Diabetic diet is particularly concerned about “balanced nutrition, total control”, so diabetic patients should eat some fruit, long time not to eat fruit is not conducive to health. How should I eat? Diabetic patients should not eat fruits with high glucose content or fruits that can be quickly broken down into glucose. Fruits contain sugar such as glucose, sucrose and fructose, of which fructose does not need insulin to participate in metabolism. It is recommended to use: fruits containing less than 10 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit, including cucumber, watermelon, orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, plum, apricot, loquat, pineapple, strawberry and cherry. Some fruits, although very sweet, but contains little glucose components, and even have a hypoglycemic effect, suitable for diabetics. Such as: ① litchi: sweet, slightly sour, slightly warm. Has a hypoglycemic effect. Its core can treat diabetes. ② Hawthorn: sweet and sour, warm. It has the effect of lowering blood sugar. Grapefruit: sour, sweet and cool. Grapefruit contains insulin, has a hypoglycemic effect, has an auxiliary effect on the treatment of diabetes, can be used as a common fruit. Chinese wolfberry: sweet and flat in nature. Chinese wolfberry extract has a hypoglycemic effect, very suitable for diabetics. ⑤ Banana: sweet and cool in nature. Banana contains norepinephrine dihydroxyphenethylamine and other hypoglycemic ingredients, can be used as a diabetic meal fruit. Many vegetables can be eaten as fruit, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, etc. The sugar content per 100 grams of food is less than 5 grams, and is rich in vitamins, can completely replace the fruit, suitable for diabetics to eat. Bitter melon in vegetables also has a significant hypoglycemic effect.
