Experts say that diabetics can eat some figs in moderation:

1. Ficus carica is an alkaline food, and diabetes is caused by acidic constitution. Eating a small amount of alkaline food is good for diabetics.

2. Ficus carica is a kind of high-fiber fruit, which is rich in acids and enzymes. It is very beneficial to diabetic patients and has a significant effect on eliminating fatigue, improving human immunity and restoring physical fitness.

3. Ficus carica contains lipase, hydrolase and other components that can decompose fat, thus reducing the deposition of fat in blood vessels, stabilizing blood pressure and preventing coronary heart disease.

Figs can be made into soup with melon and kelp. This soup has the effects of diuresis, detumescence, lowering blood sugar and tonifying kidney, and is suitable for adjuvant diet therapy for patients with early diabetic nephropathy.

With the increasing incidence of diabetes, especially in middle-aged and elderly people, the incidence rate is higher, so we must pay attention to prevention in our lives, and diet problems must not be easily ignored!
