If you already have high blood sugar, you should pay attention to eating, but pumpkins are by no means untouchable. First of all, pumpkin can be mixed with other low-sugar foods, which can ensure that patients have a certain sugar intake every time they eat.
But not too much, such "just right" is just good for the patient's illness. Secondly, you don't have to eat the most mature pumpkin. The tender pumpkin tastes good and has less sugar, which may be more helpful for the patient's illness.
In fact, not only eating pumpkin has an impact on blood sugar, but most foods have an impact on blood sugar. In fact, not only eating pumpkin has an impact on blood sugar, but most foods have an impact on blood sugar. It is difficult for foods in nature to contain no sugar, but it is somewhat different. We can say that a certain food has a small impact on blood sugar rise, or a certain food has a great impact on blood sugar rise. For sugar lovers, a small impact is acceptable, and a large impact may be caused to the body because it is more difficult to lower blood sugar.
It is not groundless to say that eating pumpkin can lower blood sugar. Pumpkin is rich in various nutrients, including various vitamins and trace elements. It has been thought that the trace element cobalt contained in pumpkin can accelerate metabolism and promote hematopoietic function, and also participate in the synthesis of vitamin B 12, which is an indispensable element for islet cells.
The normal operation of islet cells is the key to secrete insulin and control blood sugar.
Pumpkin is rich in dietary fiber and pectin. If people eat pumpkin, it can increase their satiety to a great extent, thus delaying the rise of blood sugar, which is very useful for controlling blood sugar. Moreover, pumpkin contains polysaccharide, which has obvious hypoglycemic effect after extraction.
Although pumpkin has a good effect of controlling blood sugar, it will not play a good role in lowering human blood sugar, because pumpkin itself has a high blood sugar content. If you eat pumpkin in large quantities, it will still be beneficial to the increase of human blood sugar.
Although pumpkin can enhance the satiety of human body, it contains a lot of sugar, which is higher than that of other vegetables, so the index of rising sugar is higher, and eating too much will increase the blood sugar content.
Diabetic patients need to strictly control the intake of sugar in their diet. Diabetic patients also need to strictly control the intake of sugar in their diet. However, some pumpkins are sweet in taste and contain a lot of sugar. Eating these pumpkins in large quantities will cause the blood sugar of diabetic patients to rise rapidly, especially after being cooked with porridge, which will cause the blood sugar to rise rapidly and aggravate the condition of diabetes. Diabetic patients should have a light diet with low sugar, low fat and low salt, and the total amount should be controlled.
For diabetics, if you want to eat pumpkins, try to choose tender pumpkins with less sugar content. These pumpkins have less sugar content and have relatively little impact on blood sugar. Moreover, it is recommended to steam the pumpkin, and do not choose the way of frying, stewing or frying, otherwise it will consume too much oil, which is not conducive to blood lipid control.
The postprandial blood glucose level is not only related to the glycemic index of food, but also related to its carbohydrate content. Although the glycemic index of pumpkin is high, the carbohydrate content is still low compared with other starchy foods.
Therefore, the overall impact on postprandial blood sugar is not too great. For some patients with diabetic nephropathy, pumpkin can replace some staple foods such as rice and flour to reduce the intake of protein.
Pumpkin, as a kind of melon vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, can be eaten in moderation. It is best to choose some varieties with high water content and low sugar content, and reduce the intake of other staple foods accordingly to control the total calorie intake.
For diabetics, don't eat pumpkin as a hypoglycemic food. Eating too much will not only raise blood sugar, but also lead to yellow staining.
