Dried figs are the most common in daily life. The following analysis shows whether they can be eaten or not. Diabetics should not only look at the glycemic index, but also pay attention to the glycemic load. For example, if they want to eat 50 grams of dried figs, the glycemic index is around 60, and the carbohydrate content of 50 grams of dried figs is around 38 grams. By calculation, the glycemic load of 50 grams of figs is about 22. diabetics should choose foods with a glycemic load of less than 10. So 50 grams of figs is not suitable for diabetics. What if we eat 20 grams of figs? The glycemic load is calculated to be around 9 and can be consumed by diabetics. Studies have shown that although some foods have a high glycemic index, these foods are low in carbohydrates and have little effect on overall blood sugar levels although they are easily converted to blood sugar after consumption.

Figs are high-glycemic fruits, with a medium-sized fig containing 6-8 grams of sugar and a glycemic index rise of 61, making it a high-glycemic index fruit. You can try figs and measure your blood sugar half an hour and an hour before meals. Figs do not raise blood sugar, they only raise blood sugar.

Diabetics can eat every kind of fruit, but the amount of each is different because the glycemic index is different. Cherries, plums, peaches, strawberries and kiwis have a GL of less than 5, which is more suitable for diabetics, and should not be more than 100 grams at a time. You can test your own blood sugar two hours after eating to find out the right amount for you. Watermelon is sweet but has a GL of less than 5. 200 grams at a time is appropriate.

The fig is a delicious fruit. First of all, it is a common food, so there are generally no contraindications. There is no harm in eating some in moderation. However, there is no need to give the fruit too many connotations of nourishment. I don't think there's a need to eat figs for some nourishing purposes, or to eat certain fruits that often don't pay for themselves. For example, figs are high in sugar, with 100 grams of figs containing 10-13 grams of sugar. As for how to eat figs, I think it's important to learn to identify figs for insects. We have a few figs planted on our roof. Because they are naturally raised, there are a lot of insects. Fig insects look like the petals inside the fruit and are hard to tell apart. It's best to break up the water before eating so the insects can be washed away.
