How much is the right amount to eat every day
Fruit is part of the diabetic recipe. Every 100 grams of fresh fruit produces about 20-100 kcal of energy. Strictly speaking, the amount of fruit that is appropriate for each patient to eat each day should be calculated by a dietitian. However, in general, patients with stable blood glucose control can eat about 150 grams of fresh fruit with low sugar content per day. If the amount of fresh fruit you eat reaches 200-250 grams per day, you should cut 25 grams (half a tael) from your main meal throughout the day, so as not to exceed the total energy limit for the whole day.
What time is good to eat fruit
The best time to eat fruit is between meals, when you are hungry or after physical activity, as an energy and nutrient supplement. Usually it can be chosen around 9:30 am, 3:30 pm, or 1 hour after dinner or 1 hour before bedtime. It is not recommended to eat fruits before or immediately after meals to avoid excessive intake of carbohydrates at one time, resulting in high postprandial blood glucose and aggravating the burden on the pancreas.
Each person's specific situation is different, and each fruit has a different effect on blood sugar. If you have a blood glucose meter at home, if you eat fruit before, and eat fruit 2 hours after the blood glucose or urine glucose measurement, to understand whether you can eat this fruit, eat whether too much, is very helpful.
