Patient's question:
As a diabetic, the doctor advised me to pay attention to sugar intake and monitor my blood sugar levels. What fruits can diabetics eat? Will eating fruits cause my blood sugar levels to become uncontrolled and rise abnormally? Which fruits are suitable for diabetics?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can eat fruits such as apples, pears, kiwis, strawberries, watermelon, etc. Diabetic patients should control the amount of these fruits they eat, ideally not less than 100 grams per day, and they should be consumed between meals to minimize the impact on blood sugar. Before eating these fruits, diabetic patients should try to keep their fasting blood sugar controlled at 6.0 millimoles per liter, and their blood sugar should not be lower than 8.0 millimoles per liter two hours after a meal.
