Thanks for the invitation, Dietitian Sugar to answer this question.

Strawberries are one of the more suitable fruits for diabetics. Strawberries are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, which can prolong the retention time of food in the intestine, reduce the absorption rate of glucose, and will not cause dramatic fluctuations in blood sugar.

Strawberry contains sugar, vitamin B2, vitamin C, carotene, dietary fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. Strawberries are rich in ellagic acid, which can adsorb and organize the absorption of carcinogenic substances, with anti-cancer effect. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, with whitening and moisturizing skin, lightening the effect of pigmentation.The carotene in strawberries can be converted into vitamin A, which can prevent and control eye lesions caused by diabetes. Dietary fiber and pectin in strawberries can be laxative, which can help prevent diabetes combined with hypertension.

Diabetic patients should eat 150-200 grams of strawberries per day, placed between meals as a meal to eat as appropriate. However, when eating strawberries need to pay attention to, strawberries contain more ellagic acid, easy to form calcium oxalate with calcium in other foods, urinary tract stone patients should not eat more. In addition, do not eat deformed strawberries, this kind of strawberry is often caused by the abuse of hormones in the planting process, long-term consumption of large quantities of such fruit, may damage human health.

Fruit consumption by diabetics should be based on the premise that blood sugar is stable.If your fasting blood sugar is controlled within 7mmol/L and within 10mmol/L 2 hours after a meal, you can have a portion of fruit every day. If blood sugar control is poor, then substitute cucumber and tomato for the time being.

Eating fruits should not be eaten arbitrarily, but should be subtracted from the corresponding staple food, and blood sugar should also be monitored regularly. If repeated tests show that blood sugar rises after eating a certain food, then put that food on the blacklist for the time being, or consult a professional dietitian to see if it's not consumed in the right way.

Sugar man health network, a temperature control of sugar platform, welcome to pay attention to the questions and answers!

Many diabetic patients have also acted, go out to enjoy flowers, picking strawberries. But recently, Xiao Bei received a lot of people asking: can diabetics eat strawberries?

In many people's opinion, being diabetic, theoretically, you shouldn't eat sweets because strawberries are sweet and tend to cause an increase in blood sugar.

In fact, this is just a "one size fits all" view. It completely deprives sugar lovers of their right to eat fruit!

If the blood sugar control is more satisfactory, you can also eat a few, just don't be greedy, a little less is not a big impact. Of course, the premise is to adhere to the glucose-lowering drugs to eat, blood sugar can control the case.

Some health experts also pointed out that the strawberry calories are low, can prevent the rapid rise in blood glucose value after meals, will not increase the burden on the pancreas, and, strawberries are rich in vitamins and minerals, has the effect of assisting in lowering blood glucose, in the blood glucose stable to reach the standard, it is appropriate to eat 150 grams per day.

As a matter of fact, it is already a clichéd question whether diabetics can eat fruits or not. Fruit is definitely allowed, only, with the right method and timing, it does not burden the body.

①The "right time" to eat fruits:You need to eat when your fasting blood glucose is 7.0 or less, 2h blood glucose after meal is 10 or less, glycated hemoglobin is 7.5% or less, and your blood glucose is stable. If your blood sugar is high and you especially want to eat, you can eat a moderate amount of vegetable fruits, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.

②The "time" to eat fruit:It is not recommended to eat it right after you have just finished your meal. It is also not recommended to eat it when it is almost time to eat, as it tends to raise the blood sugar high. Usually eaten as an additional meal, eaten in the middle of two meals (such as around 10:00 am, or around 3:00 pm)

(iii) The "amount" of fruit to eat:In general, you can eat 100-200g of fruit per day, and follow the principle of "exchange", you should reduce 25g of staple food.

Of course, if you can measure your blood glucose before and 2h after eating the fruit, it will be more helpful to know whether you can eat that kind of fruit and whether the amount you eat is appropriate!

In fact, many fruits can be eaten by diabetics, including strawberries. But the way you eat them, the timing and the amount, are different from healthy people.

Strawberries contain beneficial components of the human body needless to say, for diabetics, if you eat strawberries today, I'm afraid that you have to eat no or less other fruits, and even staple food.

My experience and observation of my patients is that you should not eat more than five strawberries at a time (or in a day), and this refers to the common size. If they are artificially cultivated ones as big as a baby's fist, eat one and forget it.

Just because strawberries don't have a significant glycemic rise doesn't mean the effect on blood sugar is negligible. If you don't particularly want to eat them, it's better to eat them sparingly or not at all. If you particularly want to eat them, you can eat them, you just have to cut back on other foods.

Strawberries are helpful in changing the acidic environment of the body, due to the small amount consumed by diabetics, it is only a tiny help, indeed, can be ignored, the spleen's moisturizing and pancreatic islet function restoration and strengthening is also not very helpful, can only be used as a kind of gluttony food, eat or not eat lies in the individual's choice.

Most diabetics are more greedy, the resistance to deliciousness is relatively weak, their own ability to resist the temptation of food requirements are higher, if you want to maintain a good state of health, or dietary control, strengthen the exercise, and maintain a good state of mind it.

Strawberry is a fruit sugar content is not very high, if diabetes fasting blood sugar is not very high, or in the controllable range, can be eaten, otherwise hyperglycemic state, high, should be banned, you can take sour food, hawthorn, lemon, and other low-sugar fruits, diabetes is the cause of binge drinking alcoholism, obesity due to the body, we recommend that you -- oral hypoglycemic drugs, keep your mouth shut, avoid eating oily fishy and spicy food, low sugar diet and comprehensive treatment. Low-sugar diet, more exercise comprehensive conditioning treatment.
