Can I eat figs with diabetes?

It is not recommended for patients with poorly controlled blood sugar, but moderate for those with stable blood sugar.

The figs contain sugars, proteins, fats, pectin, vitamins, etc. They are not only nutritious but also have health benefits, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging, improving body immunity, preventing cancer and reducing toxic side effects caused by chemotherapy, and are known as the queen of fruits and the fruit of life.

The carbohydrate content of 100 grams of figs is 16 grams and the energy content is 65kcal, the carbohydrate content is not low in fruits, so although diabetic patients can eat figs, but try not to exceed 100 grams per day, especially for patients with poor blood sugar control or large blood sugar fluctuations, or try to choose a relatively small glycemic load (glycemic load < 10 is low glycemic load food). The first thing you need to do is to choose a fruit with a low glycemic load (<10 for low glycemic load foods) such as grapefruit, lemon, cherry, papaya, plum, strawberry, etc.
