Lychee is not recommended for people with type 2 diabetes. Lychee is a high sugar content fruit, which rises in sugar rapidly after consumption and can lead to a rapid rise in blood glucose in diabetic patients.
Lychee is a fruit with a high sugar content and glycemic index. The sugar content in lychee is 16%, which can cause blood sugar fluctuations in type 2 diabetics after consumption. Most of the sugar contained in lychee is fructose, and if you eat a lot of lychee, you may also develop “lychee disease” because a large amount of fructose will stimulate excessive insulin secretion, resulting in hypoglycemia.
Patients with type 2 diabetes should choose fruits with low sugar content and low glycemic index, such as kiwi, apricots, apples, etc. Consumption of fruits between meals can reduce the fluctuation of blood glucose, and 50-100 grams of fruits can be consumed each time, and it is appropriate to consume a rich variety of fruits to facilitate the supplementation of nutrients.
For more health knowledge of food, you can consult a nutritionist and consume it under the guidance of a doctor.
