What fruits can people with diabetes eat?

　　The amount of sugar in fruits varies, so choose carefully. Let’s take a look at the sugar content of some fruits.

　　①Fruits with a sugar content of less than 10 grams per 100 grams include green plums, watermelons, melons, oranges, lemons, Grape , peaches, plums, apricots, loquats, pineapples, strawberries, sugar cane, coconuts, cherries, olives, etc., which can be used by people with diabetes.

　　②Fruits with a sugar content of 11-20 grams per 100 grams include bananas, pomegranates, grapefruits, oranges, apples, pears, lychees, mangoes, etc., so you must choose carefully.

　　③Fruits with a sugar content of more than 20 grams per 100 grams include dates and red fruits, especially dried dates, candied dates, persimmons, raisins, dried apricots, longans, etc. These fruits have very high sugar content and should not be eaten.

　　Many vegetables can be eaten as fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, etc. The sugar content per 100 grams is less than 5 grams and they are rich in vitamins. They can completely replace fruits and are suitable for people with diabetes. There is also a particular way to eat fruits. Do not eat them immediately after a meal. You can eat them between meals or before going to bed. It is best to eat on a trial basis, that is, measure the urine sugar 2 hours after eating. If the urine sugar increases, the amount needs to be reduced; if the urine sugar is still high after reducing the amount of fruit, the amount of staple food should be appropriately reduced.

　　Not all diabetic patients can eat sweet fruits. Only patients whose condition is stable and whose blood sugar is basically under control can eat it. Generally speaking, patients whose fasting blood sugar is below 7.8 mmol/L, whose 2-hour postprandial blood sugar is below 10 mmol/L, and whose glycated hemoglobin is below 7.5%, whose condition is stable and who do not frequently experience hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, can choose fruits with low sugar content and sweet and sour taste under the guidance of doctors and nutritionists. For some patients with high blood sugar and unstable condition, they can only choose vegetables and fruits with low sugar content.

　　Under normal circumstances, patients with stable blood sugar control can eat about 150 grams of fresh fruit with low sugar content every day. If you eat 200-250 grams of fresh fruit every day, you need to lose 25 grams from the staple food throughout the day to avoid exceeding the total energy limit throughout the day.
