Whether you have diabetes or not, we all know the fact that diabetics need to strictly control their diet!
Because the pathogenesis mechanism of diabetes is that the patient's islet function is impaired, or the cells are not sensitive enough to insulin, resulting in glucose can not be metabolized, converted into energy for the human body to consume, so blood sugar rises rapidly. In order to control the growth of blood sugar, patients should not only rely on various drugs, but also adjust from many aspects such as diet and life.
In particular, there are many taboos to the diet of sugar friends, patients must not only reasonably calculate the total calorie intake of three meals, but also for foods with high glycemic index, they cannot eat casually, such as various fine grains and fruits with higher sugar content.
However, there are many sugar friends who are originally a "foodie", they have a high desire to eat a variety of fruits and juices, and this desire to eat conflicts with reality, so that the patient's psychology is affected to a certain extent, and even sullen.
So the question is, can diabetics drink juice in the end, and how to choose juice?
In fact, in the clinical view, diabetics can also eat fruits and drink fruit juice. As long as you choose the right fruit juice that has little effect on blood sugar fluctuations, and count the calories of the fruit into the calories of the whole day.
For example, the following three types of juices are more suitable for diabetics to drink:
1. Substitute fruit juice
The so-called substitute fruit refers to a type of vegetable with a similar taste and appearance to the fruit, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, vegetable melons, etc., which have a sugar content of less than 5 grams per 100 grams, which belongs to the typical low-liter sugar food.
At the same time, such vegetables contain certain water, vitamins, trace elements, from the overall point of view, their calories are extremely low, the taste is relatively rich, very suitable for diabetics to eat or juice drinking;
2. Apple juice
According to the current clinical data, on average, in every 100 grams of apples, the sugar content is about 13.4 grams, and the glycemic index is 36, compared with other fruits, the glycemic index of apples is low, which is the type that diabetics can eat.
Apples also contain a large number of beneficial substances, including vitamins, pectin, trace elements and so on. Diabetics can choose to squeeze apple juice to drink, but need to control the intake, the daily intake should not exceed 200ml;
3. Papaya juice
On average, the sugar content of 100 grams of papaya is about 7.2 grams, and the glycemic index is 25, which is relatively low compared with apples, which is more suitable for diabetics.
Not only that, papaya contains a certain amount of proteolytic enzymes, which can effectively decompose proteins, starches and other substances, which has a certain help in stabilizing blood sugar after meals.
In general, if diabetics want to drink a variety of fruit juices, they must first choose a fruit type with a low glycemic index.
However, in the clinical view, diabetics can not drink a large amount of juice for a long time, because the amount of juice squeezed out of the fruit is very small, a cup may use several fruits, the fiber components contained in it have been destroyed by the juicer, but the sugar penetrates into the juice, if you do not pay attention to the control of intake, it is easy to cause excessive calorie intake, blood sugar fluctuations.
Therefore, instead of struggling with whether they can drink juice and which kind of juice is better to drink, diabetics should eat fruit directly for health.
Because the fruit that has not been juiced not only contains various nutrients and beneficial substances, but also has a certain amount of dietary fiber, which can delay the rise of blood sugar after meals and is more beneficial to blood sugar control.
