糖尿病患者不吃水果?
我姐姐说,如果你有糖尿病,你应该少吃水果,吃太多会提高你的血糖水平。我说水果是糖的天然来源,但你也不想吃得太多。如果你有糖尿病,你觉得吃水果怎么样?

水果为我们提供促进健康的维生素、植物化学物质以及纤维,这些都是我们饮食中的重要成分,糖尿病患者没有理由放弃这些好处。然而,你可能要小心你选择的水果,你吃它们的频率和你吃它们的时间。如果你看一下血糖指数GI是衡量碳水化合物食物(包括水果)在体内转化为血糖的速度的指标,你会发现水果之间有很大的差异。我建议选择血糖指数低的水果。低等级是指那些得分低于55的食物,中等GI食物得分在55到70之间,高GI食物得分在70以上。
例如,一些好的水果选择包括一个平均大小的苹果,得分38分;樱桃,22分;柚子(25);一个中等大小的橙子(44个);一个中等大小的梨(38);李子(39)。中度GI水果包括香蕉(55);哈密瓜(65);芒果(55);木瓜(58); pineapple (66). High GI fruits include dried dates (103); and canned fruit cocktail (79). How quickly fruit will raise your blood sugar depends on such considerations as whether you eat the fruit after a high-fat meal or drink it as a glass of fruit juice on an empty stomach. You’ll also want to consider what your blood-sugar level is when you eat the fruit. If you’re monitoring your blood glucose, you should be able to figure out how it responds to eating fruit. It is also important to pay attention to the size of the fruit you eat – choose a small or medium-sized apple over a large one (or eat only half of the large one). A quick and easy measure of the right serving size of fruit is the amount that can comfortably fit in the palm of your hand. Anything bigger than that is too large.
问题不在于你是否应该吃水果,而在于你应该吃多少水果和什么样的水果。小小的实验可以大有裨益。
