2. But whether eating pumpkin can lower blood sugar is controversial. According to related research, pumpkin can easily lead to the increase of blood sugar in a short time after entering the human body. However, the islets of Langerhans in the human body will automatically adjust, so it is ok to eat a small amount of pumpkin, but it is undoubtedly irrational to expect to eat a large amount of pumpkin to lower blood sugar.
If you eat a lot of pumpkin for a long time, your blood sugar may soar. I suggest that when you usually eat pumpkins, try to use some pumpkins instead of staple food. For example, if you are going to eat a bowl of rice, you can reduce the rice by half and replace it with half of pumpkin. At the same time, it can be eaten with many vegetables to keep blood sugar stable.
