Fruit itself contains fructose, so no matter what fruit you eat, it will not have a sugar-lowering effect. As for fruits, diabetics can choose low sugar fruits that suit them to consume without causing excessive fluctuations in blood sugar. The fruits that diabetics can usually consume are:

　1. Apple

　　Apple flavor is relatively sweet, some live slightly acidic, due to the sugar contained in apples in the human body absorbed slowly and evenly, thus able to reduce blood sugar, especially postprandial blood sugar, so diabetic patients can eat apples, for the lowering of blood glucose is still more beneficial.

　　2. Pears

How does diabetes control blood sugar?

1、Control of total energy intake is the first principle of diabetes dietary treatment

　　Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents state that the daily energy intake for normal light manual labor is 2400kcal for men and 2100kcal for women, and that the energy intake should be able to maintain a normal body weight or slightly lower than the ideal body weight. It is recommended to reduce the energy intake to 2100kcal/d for men and 1800kcal/d for women.

　　2Adequate supply of dietary fiber

　　Epidemiological studies have shown the ability of dietary fiber to reduce fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and improve glucose tolerance.

　　Foods rich in dietary fiber include soybeans and soy products in addition to the cereals mentioned above. For example, we often eat soybeans, green beans, black beans, as well as tofu, soya bean skin, bean curd and fermented bean sprouts, etc., these are good sources of dietary fiber. In addition, the content of vegetables is equally rich, especially leafy stem vegetables with the highest content. For example, commonly eaten celery, spinach, leeks, Chrysanthemum coronarium, lettuce leaves, rooibos cherry, etc., are good choices.

　3、Supply sufficient protein

　　The supply of protein in the diet of diabetic patients should be sufficient, and it is currently advocated that protein should account for 10%-20% of the total energy. When kidney function is normal, the dietary protein of diabetic patients should be similar to that of normal people; if there is kidney disease, the amount of protein in the daily diet should be reasonably arranged under the guidance of nutritional doctors. Fish, lean meat, eggs, milk, soybeans and soy products are good sources of supplemental high-quality protein.

　4、Control the intake of fat

　　Control of fat can delay and prevent the occurrence and development of diabetes complications, currently advocating that dietary fat should be reduced to 25% of total energy, or even lower, but also appropriate control of cholesterol. Emphasis on tips, the elderly with diabetes should try to eat less or not eat fried food, because fried food oil temperature is too high, producing carcinogens at the same time, easy to produce excess energy, and ultimately converted into the form of fat stored in the body, resulting in excessive body fat. In addition, many people refuse to eat egg yolks in order to control the intake of cholesterol, in fact, there is no big problem for diabetic patients to eat half an egg a day, because eggs are rich in lecithin can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol. Therefore, it can be eaten without fear.

　　5, drink some natural selenium wild orchid buckwheat tea every day

Natural selenium is rich in D-chiral inositol, which is a substance that can promote the secretion of insulin from pancreatic β-cells, thus better helping to lower sugar. And it also contains rutin which can protect blood vessels, it can clean blood vessels and improve their elasticity and patency. It should be reminded that it is best to choose the Wild Orchid Buckwheat Tea that has been certified as natural selenium. It is more nutritious, it is rich in trace elements selenium, can effectively help the human body selenium supplementation, and selenium supplementation is also very beneficial to diabetics. Firstly, it can promote the improvement of human immunity and play the role of antioxidant and anti-aging. Secondly, it can also give full play to the antioxidant effect to protect and repair the damaged pancreatic β-cells, thus helping to maintain normal insulin secretion and assist in stabilizing blood sugar.

6, eat more vegetables, supply sufficient vitamins and inorganic salts.

　　Vegetables are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B2, folic acid, beta carotene, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and manganese. Among them, zinc has the role of activating insulin activity, while chromium, commonly known as "glucose tolerance factor", can enhance the body's ability to tolerate glucose, and potassium can also play a role in protecting the heart muscle. Therefore, diabetic patients should increase the intake of vegetables.

If the blood sugar disorder wants to control sugar, it is best to temporarily avoid eating fruits, because after all, fruits also contain fructose, part of the glucose, certainly will have an impact on blood sugar. If in the case of blood sugar stabilization, you can choose GI (glycemic index) / GL (glycemic load) are lower fruits, glycemic index is in the unit of time to make people's blood sugar fluctuation rate, glycemic load is to make people's blood sugar rise the number of factors.

As you can see, the GI and GL of dragon fruit are not too high, but the disadvantage is that its total sugar content is actually not low, compared to other fruits can be said to be very much, so even in the case of stable blood sugar, dragon fruit is best eaten sparingly. The Chinese dietary guidelines (2016) recommend a daily fruit intake of 200g~350g, for diabetic friends, fruit should be even more limited, and it is best to use a small number of meals, no more than 100g at a time.

While eating fruit can be added to some coarse grains, potatoes, vegetables, dietary fiber-rich foods together, can up to smooth the role of blood sugar.

Diabetics are advised not to eat fruits with high sugar content to avoid poor blood sugar control! Fruits you can eat: tomatoes, fruit cucumbers, mangosteen, oranges which have less sugar content! Really want to eat sweets, then buy xylitol food, both sweet, but also does not contain sucrose, will maximize the control of sugar intake! It also satisfies the craving!
