You can eat it, but you must control the amount you eat. For sugar lovers with high blood sugar and diabetes, we can try to refer to each food to see if the food poses a greater threat to their blood sugar. Relative to the "glycemic index" (GI value), the glycemic index is an indicator of how quickly food affects blood sugar per unit time. The higher the glycemic index, the faster the blood sugar rises and the greater the threat to blood sugar.

Generally speaking, foods with a glycemic index higher than 55 are considered high glycemic index foods, and people with diabetes are not recommended to eat more of them. Foods with a glycemic index higher than 70 should be strictly controlled and eaten as little as possible. The glycemic index of peaches is between 28 and 35, which is a fruit with a lower glycemic index. Therefore, it is actually a good choice for people with diabetes. There is no problem in eating some peaches in moderation in summer.

The sugar content of peaches is about 100g and 13g of carbohydrates. It has the highest sugar content among all fruits. However, the glycemic index of peaches is not high. As long as you eat it in a controlled amount, it actually has a relatively small impact on blood sugar. Low.

The sweetness of peaches comes from the fact that peaches are rich in fructose. Fructose is 2 to 3 times sweeter than glucose and sucrose, so fruits rich in fructose are generally very sweet. For example, bananas, apples, mangos, papayas, oranges, etc., but fructose is a very special kind of sugar. Its metabolism does not enter the blood and is not controlled by insulin. Most of it can be directly metabolized by the liver and intestines. Although it is sweet, But it has little effect on blood sugar.

So many fruits taste sweet, but it does not mean that they have a great impact on blood sugar. For example, the apple just mentioned has a glycemic index of about 36, papaya, orange, and mango. The glycemic index does not exceed 40. The glycemic index of bananas is about 52. Although it is not a high-glycemic index fruit, the carbohydrates in bananas account for more than 99%. The total sugar content is too high, so it is not recommended. Suitable for people with high blood sugar.

Although peaches have little impact on blood sugar, you don’t have to eat as much as you want. It is recommended for sugar lovers to eat 1 to 2 peaches at one time, and no more than 3 a day. Daily fruit The recommended intake is 200~400g (strictly speaking, about the amount of two and a half peaches). As for the type of peach you choose, it depends on your preference. The glycemic load and glycemic index of peach or crisp peach are not much different.
