It is now the season when strawberries are heavily marketed, with red, fragrance strawberries full of fruit stalls, and many people can't help but buy a big box and go home and eat it。
But for the diabetics, how much can they eat in the face of the "sweet temptation" of strawberry? How? Today we come to make this clear。
One: can a person with high blood sugar eat strawberries
Many people listen to strawberry as sweet, and think that diabetics eat blood sugar, and it's going to go up. But the truth is not。
Strawberry eats sweet, but its lactating sugar index (gi) is only 40, which is a low gi fruit. Strawberries actually have less effect on blood sugar than bananas (60 for gi) and grapes (53 for gi)。
Moreover, the sugar content of strawberry is low, with sugar of about 5. 8 grams per 100 grams of strawberries, well below what many people think is the “fruit killer”。
So the doctor's clear statement is:
Strawberries are not a “no-go zone” for diabetes patients, but control and eating methods are the key。
Two: strawberry's good nutrition. It's good for high blood sugar
Strawberries are not only delicious but also very nutritious, with some particular benefits for diabetics。
Vitamin c abundance: up to 47 milligrams per 100 grams of strawberries, contributing to oxidation and reduction of inflammation and contributing positively to the prevention of cardiovascular complications。
• containing pheasant: this is a natural antioxidant, which has been found to help improve insulin sensitivity and help stabilize blood sugar。
• food fibre abundance: soluble food fibres in strawberry slow sugar absorption and reduce post-eat blood sugar volatility。
So, strawberries are right. They don't hurt blood sugar, they might help you control blood sugar。
Iii. Strawberry doesn't look at these three points. High blood sugar is as easy as pedal
Although the strawberry lactose index is low, high blood sugar can't be eaten lightly. The following three points are of particular note:
1. Control of total quantities, not to be greedy
Healthy fruit, too, could lead to a sudden rise in blood sugar。
It is recommended that the total amount of fruit consumed by diabetics be kept at around 200 grams per day, including strawberries。
It's about 6-8 medium strawberries. Eat a little bowl at a time, don't take a pound at a time, it's not feeding, it's feeding。
Don't eat right after dinner
Many people get used to eating fruit after eating, but this habit is not friendly to high blood sugar populations。
Blood sugar can rise after meals, and if you eat strawberries at this time, even low gi foods can fold a “peak”。
The correct approach is to schedule fruits between meals, such as breakfast and lunch, or tea slots。
This would avoid sharp fluctuations in blood sugar in short periods of time and would be more conducive to its stabilization。
Do not eat “processed strawberries”
Fresh strawberries are healthy, but those processed “berries” are “sugar shells” for patients with high blood sugar。
• strawberry drying: dehydrated sugar is condensed and can contain up to 100 grams of sugar or more
• strawberry sauce, strawberry milkshakes: large additions of sugar cane or high jelly syrup, high-speed rises in sugar
• strawberry beverages, snacks: basically sugary, high-heat food, strawberry is just a taste。
So, diabetics eat strawberries, which must be fresh, natural, original。
Iv. How do people with high blood sugar eat strawberries scientifically? The doctor taught you these tricks
In the right way, strawberry can be a "good helper" in blood sugar management. The following recommendations merit collection:
• selection of strawberries in the medium of maturity: too ripe or pre-cooked strawberry sugars have higher fractions, and as bright as possible colours are selected and the fruit is tight
• cleaning thoroughly to avoid agricultural residues: strawberry skin thin and vulnerable pesticides, preferably immersed for 10 minutes with salt water or small soda before eating
• a combination of protein or coarse food: for example, with sugar-free milk, low-fat milk and whole-wheat biscuits, which slows sugar absorption
• documenting blood sugar reactions: different people react differently to the same food, suggesting monitoring after strawberry and finding their own “safe mass”。
V. Strawberries are good, but these high blood sugar patients must eat carefully or less
Not all diabetics are comfortable eating strawberries. In the following cases, it is recommended to communicate with the doctor:
:: unstable blood sugar control, often exceeding 11. 1 mmol/l
• combining gastrointestinal disorders, with small seeds in strawberries likely to stimulate the stomach
• combining kidney patients, with high levels of potassium in strawberries and the need to control potassium intake
Insulin intensive treatment or oral sugar meds are being administered, requiring more sophisticated dietary management。
If you belong to the above-mentioned group, it is best to consult a professional doctor or a nutritionist before eating strawberries, so as not to “eat the wrong thing”。
Strawberry is not the "guilty" but the whole diet
Many high blood sugar populations are too obfuscated to “eat a fruit” and ignore the whole diet is the key to influencing blood sugar。
Strawberries are just one of many fruits, and the key is to:
• total sugar control: not exceeding 200 grams of fruit per day
• prioritize low gi fruit: e. G., monkeys, grapefruit, blueberries
• combining carbon water: reducing the number of staple foods and eating more grains
• regular feeding: regular timing to avoid heavy consumption。
Don't be afraid to eat strawberries, but don't know how to eat。
At the end
Strawberry is not a “high-risk food” for diabetes patients, but rather a quality fruit with high nutritional value and low sugar impact. The key is to eat right, to eat well and to eat with restraint。
Rather than being blind, science management is better. Only a true understanding of the mechanisms and nutritional characteristics of food can stabilize blood sugar while enjoying good taste。
