What are the low sugar fruits

summary

Not all patients with diabetes can eat sweet fruit, only patients with stable condition and basically controlled blood sugar can eat it. Generally speaking, patients with fasting blood glucose less than 7.8 mmol / L (140 mg / dl), postprandial blood glucose less than 10 mmol / L (180 mg / dl) and glycosylated hemoglobin less than 7.5% can choose fruits with low sugar content and sweet taste under the guidance of nutritionists. For some patients with high blood sugar and unstable condition, only fruits with sugar content less than 5% can be selected. The basis for diabetic patients to choose fruits is mainly based on the content of sugar and starch in fruits, as well as the glycemic index of different fruits.

What are the low sugar fruits

Recommendation and selection: fruit with sugar content less than 10 g per 100 g fruit, including cucumber, watermelon, orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, plum, apricot, loquat, pineapple, strawberry, cherry, etc. This kind of fruit can provide 20-40 kcal of energy per 100 g.

Careful selection: every 100 grams of fruit contains 11-20 grams of sugar, including bananas, pomegranates, melons, oranges, apples, pears, litchi, mangoes, etc. This kind of fruit can provide 50-90 kcal of energy per 100 g.

The sugar content of watermelon and kiwi fruit is relatively low. Doctors prefer to recommend this kind of fruit to patients with diabetes, because this kind of fruit can reduce the burden on the pancreas of patients, help them absorb rich vitamins, minerals and pectin, and balance their diet.

matters needing attention

We must cut down on staple food after eating fruit. Taking 200 grams of fruit (one or two medium-sized fruits) as an example, the staple food should be reduced by 25 grams, so as to ensure the calorie balance of the whole day. That is, the fruit heat and other food for equal exchange, can not eat fruit and lead to excessive heat. At the same time, for patients with diabetes, the premise is to eat less fruit, do not eat a lot. A large amount of food may cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, and high blood sugar for a long time, it will increase the burden on the pancreas.
