I'm glad to answer that diabetics can eat durian, but it's best to avoid it.

I once read a report that a diabetic patient in Thailand died after eating four durians in one gulp. This is because the sugar content of durian is too high, diabetic patients eat a lot of it, it will lead to a spike in blood sugar burst, and even cause life-threatening acute complications. Like obesity, suffering from cardiovascular diseases, people are also not suitable to eat durian. Because durian contains more potassium, accompanied by kidney disease diabetic patients are even more inappropriate to eat.In addition, Yin deficiency and fire body, sore throat and cough, suffering from colds, airways sensitive people eat durian will make the condition worse, not good for the body, should not be eaten.

Durian is known as the "King of Tropical Fruits", with a unique taste and very rich nutrition. In addition to containing a lot of sugar, durian also contains protein, fat, vitamins and calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, can nourish the body, lubricate the skin. According to Chinese medicine, durian is hot and stagnant, and should not be eaten too much at one time, otherwise it will easily lead to body heatiness and cause fire. Because of this, people with a cold constitution eat durian. The hot nature of durian can invigorate blood and dissipate cold, improve the abdomen cold, if postpartum cold, can be durian as a tonic.

It is not recommended that diabetic patients eat durian, if you really want to eat, you can eat a small amount under the premise of better blood sugar control, eat the best in between meals, and to deduct the calories of durian from the total calories of the day. If the blood sugar control is not good, for example, the second blood sugar of meal reaches more than 10, especially the sugar lover who also has complications, then don't be greedy.

In addition to durian, fruits with high sugar content like jujube, dried longan, dried figs, mango, mangosteen, etc. are also best eaten sparingly or not at all by sugar lovers.

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

Diabetics can consume durian in small quantities and not in excess.

Because durian is high in carbohydrates, as well as fat and calories, but low in water, it is not very suitable as a daily fruit choice for diabetic patients, and is especially not recommended for overweight/obese diabetic patients.

However, durian also has some benefits. It is suitable for diabetics who suffer from frequent menstrual cramps. It is recommended that you can consume half a petal of durian per day (deducting the amount of its carbohydrates at the next meal, half a petal is about 10 grams of carbohydrates) when you have menstrual cramps, which has some relief.

Because durian is a hot fruit, it can help to activate blood circulation and dissipate cold and relieve menstrual pain after consumption. At the same time, the heat of durian can improve the coldness of the abdomen and promote the rise of body temperature, which is very helpful for those with a cold body. If you have menstrual cramps and are worried that durian is cold, you can soak it in warm water before consuming it for better results.

Daily if diabetics want to eat durian very much, it is recommended that you can eat half a petal every day with good blood sugar control, and if you want to eat a petal, it is recommended that you exercise for 30 minutes after eating it to avoid any adverse effect on your blood sugar.
