Today's diabetes companion to tell you about it:

There are several types of grapes, including purple, red and white. Grapes contain a variety of sugars, including glucose, fructose and sucrose. In terms of total sugar content, the average sugar content of grapes is around 10% to 15%, but some varieties (e.g. Xinjiang white seedless grapes) contain as much as 20% to 27%, while the average sugar content of raisins can be as high as around 80%. That is to say, when eating grapes will intake more sugar, which accounts for the majority of glucose and fructose, have the effect of elevating blood sugar.

However, grapes have an average glycemic index of 43, which is a low-glycemic index food, meaning that it releases sugar slowly and is one of the fruits suitable for diabetic patients to choose, so as long as the amount eaten in the right amount will not affect blood sugar. Recommended for diabetic patients to choose a lower sugar content of red rose grapes, milky grapes and purple grapes, these grapes are not only lower sugar content (rose and jumbo grapes contain slightly higher sugar), per 100 grams of calories contained in other varieties are also lower, each serving size of 15 or less, preferably between meals or before bedtime to eat.

Scientists have found that regular consumption of purple grapes can effectively prevent diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease:

Professor Paul Thornley, a researcher at the University of Warwick in the UK, and his research team studied resveratrol in purple grapes and hesperidin in oranges with 32 participants aged 18 to 80. The analysis noted that Glo1 is an enzyme that reduces pyruvialdehyde. While pyruvialdehyde is an important mediator of organ damage caused by excess sugar, high pyruvialdehyde combined with a high-calorie diet is more likely to lead to insulin resistance. Once insulin resistance occurs, it can lead to type 2 diabetes, which also affects blood vessel health. This new study shows that eating purple grapes and oranges is beneficial in preventing obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. So diabetics can eat purple grapes in moderation.

Diabetes companion special reminder: diabetics should not eat raisins, because of its sugar content of 80%, the glycemic index is also far beyond the grape several times, so diabetics should not choose raisins!
