Diabetics can eat strawberries in moderation, as an extra meal between meals, 100 grams to 200 grams each time (medium-sized 10 or so) is appropriate.

First, Wei Wei re-emphasized:Sugar lovers can eat fruit and its health benefits far outweigh its effect on blood sugar！

Although fruit is sweet, but the sugar content and rice, steamed bread, noodles and other staple foods compared to much lower, one of the reasons is that the fruit in the water content is high, the sugar content is not high, so the "dry goods" is less, even if the sweet, but also can not be with the "dry goods full" of thestaple (rice and noodles)Compared; Secondly, fruits are rich in dietary fiber, a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can slow down the rate of sugar absorption, all the fruits, although sweet, but the vast majority of the glycemic index (GI) is not high!

As a sweet and delicious fruit, strawberries have many fans, sugar lovers given that it is too sweet and worry that it will not be conducive to blood sugar control, this line of thinking is correct, but the sweet taste of the fruit is necessarily high in sugar? But is sweet fruit necessarily high in sugar? The answer is no, next we will talk about it in detail!

They're all sugars, but they don't raise blood sugar at the same rate!

The sweetness in fruits comes from sugars, which also include many types of sugars that are contained in fruits:Glucose, fructose, sucrose(Unripe fruit will also contain starch, but starch has no sweet flavor.) And one of theFructose has the greatest sweetness and the most wonderful sweetnessLibyan Arab JamahiriyaIt's the slowest way to raise blood sugar.! So the ratio of these three sugars in a fruit also affects its glycemic index (GI), theFruits with a lot of fructose may be sweet, but their glycemic index (GI) may not be high, for example:

love biteOnly 6% sugar contentIn the family of fruitslow arch，Glycemic index (GI) of 40also belongs tolow archwhichFructose accounts for half of the total sugar contentBut we don't think strawberries are not sweet enough, but subconsciously categorize them as high sugar fruits because of their sweetness, which is not unrelated to the proportion of sugar they contain!

Other components of the fruit also affect the rate of blood sugar response!

As stated at the beginning of this article, other components in fruits affect the rate of sugar absorption, and here Wei Wei explains a little more about how it works:

• Dietary Fiber:Plant cells outside the cell wall, its role is to protect the cells from being damaged by external forces, the cell wall is usually composed of dietary fiber (mainly pectin), different fruits of the cell wall "tough" degree is not the same, and pectin content of fruits is eaten more difficult, need to be repeatedly chewed, and chewing can be divided into sugar a Small teams, batch into the digestive tract, thus avoiding a large number of one-time intake of too much sugar caused by the blood sugar spike, while dietary fiber will also slow down the absorption of sugar in the intestinal tract, to avoid eating fruits after blood sugar is too high! For exampleApples, Pears, Crisp PeachesThey all contain more sugar than strawberries, but all have a lower glycemic index than strawberries!
  

• Organic acids:The acidity in fruits delays gastric emptying, which is beneficial in delaying the rise of blood glucose after meals, so fruits with high acidity can have a low glycemic index even if they are not low in sugar! Such asOranges, grapefruit, kiwisetc.
  

• Polyphenols:Tannins, anthocyanins and other polyphenols can effectively inhibit the activity of digestive enzymes, thus slowing down the digestion and absorption of sugar in fruits, thus slowing down the rate of blood sugar elevation. Such asGrapes, cherries, strawberriesetc.
  

A few suggestions for choosing fruits for sugar lovers:

Recommended:Cherries, papayas, plums, grapefruit, strawberries, lemons, poppies, melons, avocados, fresh peaches (harder crunchy peaches are better), apples, dragon fruits, pears, apricots

• Usually all types oftropical fruithave a high glycemic index and sugar content, and need to be eaten with care and minimized.Such as banana, mango, pineapple and coconut;
  

• And the crisp, sweetfresh dateIt's a sweet little devil, eat it sparingly;
  

• The kind of sweet and savory non-nuclear yellowish grapes that are abundant in the Xinjiang region of China should also be eaten with caution and as little as possible!
  

• Various kinds of dried fruit such as raisins, dried jujubes, etc., due to the removal of water, sugar concentration after the sugar content is extremely high, not to eat more!

Nutritional life with Wei Wei, welcome to Nutritional Wei Wei Tao!

For diabetic patients, managing diet and controlling sugar intake is very important, so many diabetic patients are afraid to eat foods with high sugar content. The most intuitive feeling of eating strawberries, a seasonal fruit, is that they are sweet and sour, and many diabetic patients are afraid to eat strawberries for fear of the high sugar content they contain.

So here's the question:

Are strawberries really as sugary as people fear? Is it true that people with diabetes and high blood sugar should not eat strawberries?

Answer Sneak Peek:

Strawberries can be eaten by diabetics, but you should control your intake according to your condition.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrine system disease that threatens the physical and mental health of human beings, and it is a metabolic abnormality syndrome characterized by disorders in the metabolism of the three major nutrients, namely sugar, protein, and fat, caused by the interplay of genetic and environmental factors, with chronic hyperglycemia as the main common feature in clinical practice [1].

And current diabetes can be categorized into two types:

Type 1 diabetes is unable to produce enough insulin on its own and requires insulin injections to control high blood sugar and stabilize the condition.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is commonly found in middle-aged, elderly and obese people. It does not need to rely on insulin injections, and can be treated by undergoing individualized medical nutritional therapy, or through reasonable dietary control and appropriate oral hypoglycemic can be obtained certain therapeutic effects.

But no matter what type of diabetes you have, managing your diet, controlling your energy intake, and controlling the stability of your blood sugar is especially critical for people with diabetes.

[Can diabetics eat strawberries?

Many people with diabetes feel that fruits are a class of foods that contain high levels of sugar, and therefore they often refuse to eat them in order to control their blood sugar balance.

However, it is mentioned in the Chinese Diabetes Dietary Guidelines (2017 Edition) that fruits are not inedible, just that the time and amount should be controlled. And if we consider purely from the aspect of blood glucose influence, we can look at the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) to see whether diabetic patients can eat strawberries or not [2].

For strawberries, the carbohydrate content per 100 grams of edible strawberry pulp portion is 6 grams and 30 kcal, which makes it a low-calorie and low-sugar fruit [3]. Moreover, the glycemic index of strawberries is between 21 and 30, and the glycemic load is between 1.26 and 1.8. And in general, GI less than 55 belongs to low GI food and GL less than 10 belongs to low GL food, therefore, strawberry belongs to a kind of fruit with low GI and low GL [2].

So diabetics can eat strawberries, and do not have to worry about eating will make the blood sugar fluctuations fluctuate greatly, only need to strictly control the amount of intake according to their own conditions.

[Summary]

Strawberries are a low-calorie and low-glycemic fruit, and also have low GI and GL values, so it is okay for diabetic patients to eat some appropriately with a balanced diet and moderate control.

And it is generally recommended that consumption of fruits between meals will have less impact on health, around two hundred grams per day [2].

However, Supra is here with a gentle reminder:

Each person's own condition and blood sugar response is different, so even for the same food, it is important to determine whether and how much to consume based on your own condition.

Glad to answer your question, diabetics can eat strawberries. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and carotenoids and are low in calories and low on the glycemic index.Dietary fiber and pectin in strawberries can also laxative, reduce body fat, blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce the risk of sugar lovers suffering from diabetes combined with hypertension and high blood pressure. Therefore, strawberriesIt is a great fruit for diabetics.

Apart from this, strawberries are rich in vitamin C and some antioxidants that help to slow down the aging process, keep the skin hydrated and healthy, and prevent wrinkles. Strawberries are also rich in salicylic acid, which helps treat acne and pimple marks. Strawberries contain substances such as antioxidants and flavonoids that reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the body and effectively protect the heart. Strawberries contain flavonoids that also help improve one's memory.

So how should sugar lovers eat strawberries?

Sugar lovers with stable blood sugar control, such as fasting blood sugar below 7 and 2 hours after meal blood sugar below 10, are recommended to eat about 100g of strawberries per day, about 4-5 strawberries in normal size. If it reaches 200g, then you need to reduce the content of some staple foods accordingly, because strawberries are good enough to contain a certain amount of calories.

When we wash strawberries, sometimes the water will be slightly red, this situation is normal, because strawberries are rich in water-soluble anthocyanins, when the strawberry is broken, this anthocyanin will make the water red. But there is no broken strawberries do not exist in this case, if the water of washing strawberries is more red, it is possible to use cochineal stained strawberries, this kind of strawberry smells a pungent flavor, should not be eaten.

Due to the large water content of strawberries, thin skin, delicate tissues, so it is not easy to store, room temperature can only be saved for 1-2 days, if the picking and transportation process is bruised, it will be very easy to rot and deteriorate, it is recommended that sugar lovers are best to buy a small amount of food, as soon as possible to eat it all. If you want to prolong the preservation time of strawberries, you can wrap them with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator freezer.

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

It is possible for diabetics to consume strawberries appropriately.

If you have high blood sugar now, adding strawberries is not recommended. It is advisable to follow your doctor's advice, eat sensibly, and exercise appropriately so as to keep your blood sugar within your target range.

If your blood sugar control is relatively good, you can add strawberries between meals, but deduct the amount of carbohydrates from that strawberry from the next regular meal to avoid affecting your blood sugar at the next meal.

Strawberry is rich in nutrients, containing fructose, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid, salicylic acid, amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. In addition, it also contains a variety of vitamins, especially vitamin C content is very rich, every 100 grams of strawberries contain vitamin C60 mg. Carotene contained in strawberries is an important substance for the synthesis of vitamin A, which has the effect of brightening the eyes and nourishing the liver.

One large strawberry contains 2.6 grams of carbohydrates (or "sugar" as sugar lovers call it), which can raise blood sugar by about 0.5 mmol/L. So if you have good blood sugar control, you can eat a lot of strawberries.It is recommended to eat 100 grams at a time (about 3 large strawberries or 5-6 medium-sized strawberries). Keep the amount of fruit to 100-200 grams a day.

If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments section and I'll respond when I see them.

The above answer is provided by Ms. Song Mingyue, a registered dietitian of MicroSugar

It's edible.

Strawberries are among the fruits with relatively low dietary glycemic load (GL) values, which means that they have relatively little effect on blood glucose fluctuations when ingested.

However, it is not true that strawberries have a low glycemic load and can be eaten in large quantities at will. Control the amount is very critical, a single 100-200 grams, generally not a big problem, otherwise a large number of consumption, the same will raise blood sugar. Secondly, the time of consumption is also very important, it is generally recommended to eat between meals as an additional meal.

Meanwhile, the GL value of the food may vary due to a number of factors, such as differences in regional species and their active ingredient content, as well as differences in intestinal absorption among different ethnic groups, and the blood glucose changes after consuming strawberries may also vary among individuals.

That is to say, for most people, after moderate consumption of strawberries, blood sugar fluctuations will not be great. However, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of people, who are unusually sensitive to the reaction of strawberry consumption, blood sugar rises significantly, is also possible, which is the individual variability that needs to be noted.

In principle, diabetics can eat strawberries and other fruits with medium sugar content, but the fruit should be eaten in a proper way, not immediately after a meal, but between meals or before going to bed. It is best to try to eat, that is, 2 hours after eating blood glucose measurement. If the blood sugar increases, you need to reduce the amount; if the blood sugar is still high after the fruit is reduced, you should reduce the amount of staple food appropriately. However, each patient has individual differences, the individual blood glucose level is also different, so it is best to eat fruit according to the individual, do not blindly follow the trend.

Hello! Nutritionist thought that diabetics can generally eat strawberries.

Let's take a look at the relevant data of strawberries: the sugar content is about 5%, which is a low sugar content food; glycemic index of 32, low; calories 30 calories/100g, low.

From the data above, we can conclude that the consumption of strawberries has a relatively small effect on blood sugar. Therefore, the health gentleman thought that diabetics as long as the blood sugar is not too high, such as blood sugar more than 14.0 mmol / L, at this time, it is best to stabilize blood sugar with drugs. Other times a small amount of strawberry consumption, and not much effect. In addition, the health gentleman thought, strawberries and other satiating vegetables (such as cucumbers, tomatoes) compared to the same is rich in dietary fiber, the same low impact on blood glucose value, the only difference is that the strawberry satiety may not be as good as them.

But strawberries also have their unique benefits, which are listed below:

1, rich in vitamin C, improve immunity

While strawberries are relatively low in sugar content, glycemic index, and calories, they are nevertheless high in vitamin C. Some studies have shown that strawberries have about 40% more Vitamin C than oranges; 7-10 times more than apples and grapes. Vitamin C, in turn, has the effect of improving immunity.

2. Improvement of night blindness

We know that night blindness is mainly related to Vitamin A. Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C and carotenoids. Strawberries are not only rich in vitamin C, but also rich in carotene and vitamin A, which can effectively improve night blindness.

To summarize, Nourish suggests that diabetics consume less than 200g of strawberries between meals, as long as their blood sugar is not too ridiculously high. If you can appropriately reduce the amount of staple food in the next meal, then please eat strawberries in peace!

I hope the above suggestions can help you, get more information about diabetes, please pay attention to the health care fine-tuning!
