Litchi is a kind of fruit, which is very common in southern China. It is a subtropical delicious fruit with rich nutrition. In addition, litchi also has high medicinal value to human body. Chinese medicine points out that litchi has the effects of promoting fluid production, lowering blood sugar, improving intelligence, strengthening spleen and beautifying, so patients with hyperglycemia can eat more litchi in their daily life. Moreover, litchi is sweet, slightly warm and slightly sour, and has a good conditioning effect on symptoms such as polydipsia, diabetes and stomachache.

However, we must pay special attention to eating litchi, and we must be moderate for patients with hyperglycemia, because litchi contains high sugar. If eaten in moderation, it can still lower blood sugar. If it is excessive, it will lead to an increase in blood sugar, which will lead to blood sugar instability. For ordinary people, litchi with high sugar content will lead to excessive internal heat, so eat less.

Appropriate time for diabetics to eat fruit

It is best for diabetics to choose fruits between meals, when they are hungry or after physical activity as a supplement of energy and nutrition. Usually around 9: 30 am, around 3: 30 pm, or after dinner 1 hour or before going to bed 1 hour. It is not recommended to eat fruit immediately before or after meals, so as to avoid excessive carbohydrate intake at one time, which will lead to increased blood sugar after meals and increase the burden on the pancreas.
