Fruits with sugar content below 12 can be eaten, but the daily consumption should be controlled within100g. For patients who have no appetite due to severe infection, they can also choose appropriate fruits to replace some staple foods. However, while eating fruits, it is advisable to reduce the amount of staple food. Patients whose condition is unstable and their blood sugar has not been controlled should abstain from fruits and vegetables.

Cherry, Myrica rubra, pineapple and peach with low sugar content can be decomposed into jelly-like substances by bacteria in the intestine after eating, which can absorb water in the intestine, delay the emptying time of food in the intestine and slow down the absorption speed of glucose in the intestine, thus reducing the postprandial blood sugar level of patients.

Among the fruits with low sugar content, the sugar content of cucumber, pumpkin and tomato is 2, that of watermelon and cantaloupe is 4-5, and that of grape, cherry, pear, lemon, orange, peach, plum, pomegranate, orange, loquat, grapefruit, bayberry, apple and pineapple is within 12.

It is more suitable to eat fruit after meals or between meals.
