Diabetic present people should eat less or no fruit food. You can eat less fruit when your condition is stable. Eat fruits with low sugar content as the principle of choice. Eat more lean meat and fish and shrimp, etc., this is a high protein low fat food. It is made from grains that are high in dietary fiber, such as buckwheat and oats. Although these foods take longer to digest and absorb, they will eventually turn into glucose. Vegetables that have starch as their main ingredient should be counted in the amount of staple foods. These vegetables are potatoes, white potatoes, lotus roots, yams, lozenges, taro, lilies, water chestnuts, and cecrops. 8 In addition to soybeans other than beans, such as red beans, mung beans, fava beans, kidney beans, peas, their main ingredient is also starch, so they should also be counted as the amount of staple food. 9. Eating side dishes should also be in moderation. 10. Can not use peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts and other hard fruits to fill hunger. 11. Eat more food containing dietary fiber. 12. Eat less salt. 13. Eat less food containing cholesterol. 14. About eating fruits. Patients with good blood sugar control can eat fruits with low sugar content, such as apples, pears, oranges, oranges, strawberries, etc., but the amount should not be too much. The time to eat fruit should be between meals when blood sugar is low. If you eat fruit after is equal to add meals, blood sugar will be immediately high. In addition, after eating watermelon, sugar absorption is very fast, so try not to eat. Bananas are high in starch and should be counted as a staple food. 15. Sweeteners will not be converted to glucose, will not affect the change of blood sugar, can not be used as a self-help food for hypoglycemia. 16. Diabetics should never limit their water intake.

In addition to matching the amount of food, do not stay the same. Watermelon 4% sugar, pear 12% sugar, banana 20%. Watermelon sugar, but eat 500 grams, equivalent to 100 grams of bananas, pears 170 grams, so the amount of food should not be too much. Fruit eating method should also pay attention to, do not eat immediately after meals, can be between meals or go to bed to eat. It is best to eat on a trial basis, that is, 2 hours after eating to measure urine sugar. If the urine sugar increases then need to reduce the amount; such as fruit after reducing the amount of urine sugar is still high, should be appropriate to reduce the amount of staple food.
