Hawthorn has important medicinal value, since ancient times, it is a good medicine to strengthen the spleen and open the stomach, eliminate food and stagnation, activate blood circulation and resolve phlegm.

As hawthorn is rich in many kinds of organic acids and contains lipolytic enzymes, after entering the stomach, it can enhance the enzyme action, promote the digestion of meat, and help the conversion of cholesterol. Therefore, it is helpful for people who feel full after eating meat or greasy food.

But.A medium-sized hawthorn is about 10 grams and contains 2.2 grams of carbohydrates. Adults who eat 2 hawthorns have an elevated blood sugar of about 1 unit. Children are much more sensitive and may be able to eat 1 hawthorn to raise their blood sugar by 1 unit.

Exactly how much blood sugar is elevated in each person depends on individual sensitivities.

To address the glycemic profile of hawthorn, here's a plus-meal glucose chart:

1.Blood glucose below 3.9 mmol/LRecommendationsStart with 5 grams of sugar tablets and when your blood sugar comes up, you can eat 3 hawthorns

2.Blood glucose at 4-6 mmol/LIt's edible.2 hawthorns

3.Blood glucose at 7.8-10 mmol/LIt's edible.1 hawthorn

5. Hawthorn is not recommended when blood sugar is higher than 10mmol/L

Finally, hawthorn is good, but it is not recommended to eat too much of it.

Not only is eating too much bad for your blood sugar, but by consuming too much hawthorn, you're taking in too much organic acid.Too much organic acid is not conducive to the absorption of calcium and iron. Therefore, those who have anemia and osteoporosis should eat in moderation.

Hello everyone, I am health care practitioner Min Ying~ Hawthorn has high nutritional value and medical value, elderly people often eat hawthorn products can enhance appetite, improve sleep, keep bones and blood calcium constant, prevent atherosclerosis, so hawthorn is regarded as 'longevity food'. Hawthorn contains a lot of vitamin C and trace elements, which can dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, improve and promote cholesterol excretion and lower blood fat, prevent the occurrence of hyperlipidemia, hawthorn can open the stomach and promote digestion, and lipase contained in hawthorn can also promote the digestion of fat. Regular consumption of hawthorn can expand blood vessels, lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease and senile heart disease. Using hawthorn fruit to treat diseases has a long history in China. According to Chinese medicine, hawthorn has the functions of generating body fluid, quenching thirst, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Moreover, recent physical and chemical research of drugs found that the medicinal value of hawthorn penetrates into the field of blood lipids more obviously.

It should be noted that hawthorn is acidic in flavor and will become more acidic after heating, you should brush your teeth immediately after directly consuming it, otherwise it is not conducive to the health of your teeth. Hawthorn can not be eaten on an empty stomach, hawthorn contains a lot of organic acid, fruit acid, hawthorn acid, etc., eaten on an empty stomach, it will make the stomach acid surge, cause adverse stimulation to the gastric mucosa, make the stomach hair distended, acid, if eaten on an empty stomach will enhance the hunger and aggravate the original stomach pain. Therefore, you should eat raw hawthorn as little as possible, especially people with weak gastrointestinal function should be more cautious. Doctors suggest that it is better to cook hawthorn before eating. Therefore, diabetics are allowed to eat hawthorn~

Whether or not a diabetic can eat a food depends on the amount of "sugar" (carbohydrates) it contains, and on how and how much you eat.

The most important dietary principle for diabetes is that you should consume food at regular intervals while controlling your total energy.

The amount of sugar in each meal is not based on the amount of "sugar" in a single food, but on the amount of "sugar" in the whole meal.

Hawthorn (pictured above) as a kind of fruit, belongs to low calorie and high dietary fiber food, diabetic people can eat, especially suitable for food in extra meal, and hawthorn content of potassium, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, conducive to diabetic people's stabilization of blood pressure, supplemental calcium. But as hawthorn processed products, such as hawthorn cake, hawthorn crystal, hawthorn strips, fruit leather, hawthorn slices, hawthorn pulp drink, hawthorn canned food, etc. (as below) is absolutely not suitable for diabetic food.

Diabetic patients should strictly control the total amount of staple food, while trying to choose low GI food in the staple food

Such as eating less refined white rice, refined white flour as the raw material of white rice, white rice porridge, white rice flour, white bread, rolls, noodles, bread, cookies, glutinous rice, sticky rice, puffed food and other such food with less dietary fiber and fast digestion;

Eat more mixed grain rice, brown rice, mixed grain porridge, whole wheat buns, whole wheat bread, whole wheat noodles, oatmeal rice, oatmeal, corn ballast, millet, barley grain, as well as a variety of beans and mixed beans rice, bean buns and so on.

For diabetics, replacing white rice with beans will be much better than replacing white rice with potatoes from the point of view of blood sugar control. This is because the GI value of legumes is much lower than that of potatoes

For diabetics, meals should have plenty of vegetables

The dietary fiber in vegetables slows down the time that food spends in the gastrointestinal tract at each meal, which slows down the rapid rise in blood glucose and avoids high and low blood glucose. It also synthesizes the GI value in the main food, thus achieving the goal of a lower GI value for the whole meal.

Not only that, but endocrine disruption in diabetics in particular often brings about micronutrient deficiencies, which are supplemented by the various vitamins and minerals found in a large number of vegetables.

For diabetics, meals also have protein, which can be beneficial for stabilizing blood sugar after meals

Protein foods do not raise postprandial blood glucose, but they can stimulate insulin secretion, while also lowering the GI of the entire meal due to the protein foods that are paired with it.

For example, eggs and milk in breakfast; soy products or meat in Chinese meals; fish and shrimp or soy products in meals.

Then there's the fact that the more complex the food is at each meal for diabetics, the better, with food combinations ideally numbering six or more.

Difficult? Not easy to realize? It's actually quite simple.

Example: Breakfast: Eggs, Whole Wheat Bread with Milk, Mixed Vegetable Salad Plus: Hawthorn + Milk Lunch: Bean Paste Buns (2 ingredients), Stewed Tofu with Baby Cabbage, Stir-Fried Pork with Green Peppers Plus: Nuts + Yogurt Dinner: Rice with Baby Beans, Stewed Yellow Croaker, Roasted Vegetables (Cabbage + Potato + Tomato)

In short, stop thinking about what foods you can't eat with diabetes and think about how to eat them in moderation, complexity, and smart combinations at regular intervals while controlling total energy.

I am happy to answer this question. Hawthorn has a sweet and sour taste that many people like to eat, and some diabetic patients will also like this taste. But can diabetics consume hawthorn?

It is suggested here that diabetic patients can consume hawthorn, but they must pay attention to the dosage. First of all, hawthorn is rich in calcium, vitamin C, carotene, organic acid, etc. Consumption of hawthorn can not only help to reduce blood lipids, but also prevent and control diabetic cerebrovascular complications. So diabetic patients moderate consumption of some hawthorn, for the condition is very good, especially diabetes combined with hyperlipidemia patients, you can make hawthorn into hawthorn porridge to eat to assist in lowering blood lipids.

Secondly, diabetic patients' dietary requirements are mainly the following two points: one, control the total calories, and two, avoid sugar and sugary foods. Hawthorn is a small amount, moderate consumption will not affect the total calorie control. However, hawthorn belongs to "high sugar" fruit, which contains up to 25% sugar. Therefore, diabetic patients should not consume a large amount of hawthorn for its lipid-lowering effect, so as not to cause blood sugar fluctuation! It is recommended that diabetic patients consume hawthorn not more than 100g per day, and it is best to consume it in the middle of two meals!

Like this answer if you found it useful! Welcome to Sugar Man Health!

Hawthorn is a fruit, for diabetic patients fruit should be eaten between two meals with stable blood sugar, that is, fasting is less than 7mmol / L after meals is less than 10mmol / L. Simple remembering hair is 7,8,9,10 before meals is not seven, after meals is 8,9 is not away from 10.

At this time, you can eat some fruits between meals, but don't overdose up to 200g, but not according to the taste of sweet and sour. You said hawthorn flavor is not very sweet but sour, but in fact its sugar content in 25%, so for diabetic patients to eat less. Don't eat more than 100 a day. That is, 8 or 9 pieces.

Here's a list of the sugar content

Fruits with sugar content below 15% include: watermelon (5.8%), melon (6.2%), strawberries (7.1%), cherries (10.2%), apples (13.5%), snow pears (10.6%), mandarin oranges (11.9%), grapefruit (9.5%), peaches (12.2%), plums (8.7%), apricots (9.1%), cantaloupe (7.9%), kiwis (14.5%), and pineapple (10.8%). (14.5%), pineapple (10.8%), etc., can be used in moderation;

Sugar in 15% to 25% of the fruit are: lychee (16.6%), Sydney (20.2%), pomegranate (18.7%), fresh cinnamon (16.6%), persimmons (18.5%), fresh hawthorn (25.1%), bananas (22%) and so on, be careful with the choice of the best to eat less or do not eat, if diabetic patients are very much want to eat this kind of fruit, to a small piece of taste can be;

Fresh fruits with sugar content higher than 25%: such as pineapple honey (25.7%), fresh jujube (30.5%), golden jujube (76.7%), black jujube (57.7%), etc., as well as dried fruits and dried fruits should not be consumed by diabetics.

Although hawthorn is good for the heart and high blood pressure, it is high in sugar and not suitable for diabetes. If you must want to eat some hawthorn, first, your blood sugar should be stable, within 7 for fasting and within 10 after meals. Also, just eat 1-2 pcs, while eating fewer bites of main food. The safest way is to measure blood sugar before eating hawthorn, and then measure blood sugar two hours after eating 1-2 hawthorns, if it is not high, then this amount is OK, so that you understand how much hawthorns you are suitable to eat at one time or whether you can eat hawthorns. However, compared with other low sugar fruits, hawthorn should be eaten in less amount.

Just need to look at the picture of hawthorn, can't help but drooling ah, not only because hawthorn fruit is sour and astringent, sweet and sour hawthorn products are the heart of many beautiful women.

Hawthorn is also called Shanlihong, red fruit. 100g of hawthorn has energy 102kcal. almost all of this energy comes from carbohydrates (25.1g/100g), of which 3.1g of dietary fiber, pectin is rich. in addition, hawthorn has vitamin A, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C 53mg, vitamin E 7.32mg, calcium, phosphorus, potassium (299mg/100g) and other inorganic salts. Inorganic salts such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium (299mg/100g) are also quite a lot.

Hawthorn contains a variety of organic acids can promote the secretion of digestive juices, help digestion; hawthorn flavonoids, carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium are very good antioxidants, can effectively remove the body oxidation free radicals on the body damage, maintenance of vascular health, reduce the role of blood lipids; for weight loss, with hawthorn boiled water will also play the role of spleen and eliminate fat.

After saying so many benefits of hawthorn, can diabetics eat it or not? Simply in terms of hawthorn, diabetics can eat hawthorn, pay attention to the amount of not too much oh. However, as we all know, simply eating hawthorn is sour and difficult to swallow, general hawthorn products, no matter it is sugar gourd, hawthorn cake or soup, will add a lot of sugar to flavor to have the sweet and sour taste that we all like. Due to the addition of a large amount of refined sugar, it is not recommended for diabetic friends to eat hawthorn products; they can also eat a little bit less according to their own situation (under the condition of stable blood sugar), and reduce the intake of the corresponding staple food at the same time.
