Can diabetics eat fruit?

  The answer is yes. A considerable number of people believe that after suffering from diabetes, they have nothing to do with fruits for the rest of their lives, and this wrong view also exists in the consciousness of many medical professionals.  It is believed that each food has the nutrition of each food, and if you cannot eat each type of food for a long time, your body will definitely lack the nutrients contained in that type of food, and your life will be much less colorful. My philosophy is that a diabetic’s life should be colorful, and so should his or her diet.  For the effect of blood sugar, we mainly look at the glycemic index of foods, that is, their ability to raise blood sugar after eating such foods.  For those whose blood sugar control is up to standard (different age groups and physical conditions have different control standards), they can eat any kind of fruit in moderation, and it is recommended that they should preferably be eaten before two meals or before bedtime. The requirement is that, with the same total calories, you can roughly reduce the corresponding staple food (mainly food containing starch) and eat the corresponding weight of fruit according to the following conversion method.  Minus half two staple foods (dry), you can eat the following corresponding weight of a fruit: persimmon, banana 150g, lychee 150g, peach 175g, duck pear, kiwi 200g, grapes, apple 200g, orange, grapefruit 200g, plum, apricot, pineapple 200g, strawberry 300g, watermelon (with skin) 500g, fresh dates 100g.
