"Can't you just eat one?" Uncle Li stopped doing it when he heard it, and took the orange and replied.
"It's all said on TV that diabetes can also eat oranges, and it can also improve high blood sugar!"
"Do you remember eating fruit indiscriminately and ending up in high blood sugar hospitalized. ”
"Oranges are so sweet, if you eat too much, your blood sugar will definitely rise, how can you control sugar?"
So, on the question of whether eating oranges raises blood sugar or lowers blood sugar, Uncle Li and his family argued, but no one could convince anyone, which statement was correct?
01
Diabetics eat oranges,
Is it a blood sugar raiser or a blood sugar lower?
Winter is also the season to eat oranges, and many diabetics naturally can't help but be greedy, but when they think of fruit having fructose, they are worried, will eating oranges affect blood sugar?
In fact, oranges are low-glycemic fruits, its glycemic index is only 43, and the glycemic load is between 3.8-5.9, which is very suitable for sugar friends in the sugar control period, but pay attention to the principle of moderation, generally eating 100 grams of oranges is safe, but exceeding 200 grams will also cause blood sugar to rise.
Diabetics can normally eat one orange a day, and it is recommended to consume it at 9 a.m. or 1 hour before bedtime at night.
And when eating, do not tear off the white reticular tendons on the outside of the pulp, these orange veins can improve blood vessel function and prevent bleeding.

Want to control blood sugar,
These misunderstandings should be screened
When it comes to controlling blood sugar, many people's first reaction is that they can't eat this or that, causing many sugar friends to follow the trend, and their blood sugar does not drop but rises, and they don't know what is wrong, in fact, they are all misunderstandings of diet.
1. All coarse grains have a sugar control effect
I heard that eating coarse grains can control sugar, so many sugar friends directly replace coarse grains with rice, although coarse grains are slow to raise sugar, but there is a misunderstanding here, not all coarse grains have sugar control effects, such as yellow rice, glutinous rice, these glutinous coarse grains are faster than rice noodles these glycemic fast!
2. If you eat less sugar, you won't get diabetes
Don't think that diabetes has a causal relationship with sugar just because diabetes has the word "sugar", in fact, there are many factors that cause diabetes, such as genetics, bad lifestyle habits, obesity, tobacco and alcohol, etc. Whether eating too much or too little sugar will cause abnormal blood sugar mainly depends on the function of pancreatic islets.
In addition, don't think that eating sugar-free food is fine, the "sugar-free" here is just no added sucrose and other refined sugars, but it still contains a lot of starch, which will be directly converted into glucose after ingestion, and blood sugar will also rise if you eat too much, so you should pay attention to the appropriate amount in your diet.
03
These 4 manifestations appear when sleeping,
It means that your blood sugar is high
Diabetes isn't just about high blood sugar, it's the complications that come with it. The continuous increase in blood sugar will have irreversible effects on the organs and tissues of the whole body, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
Nowadays, the incidence of diabetes is on the rise, but because the symptoms are not obvious, many people do not even know that they have diabetes, resulting in delayed treatment.
1. Be thirsty before going to bed
This is because the blood sugar in the body is too high, resulting in excessive glucose content in the blood, increased kidney penetration, mainly manifested as excessive urine, and this process will take away a lot of water, resulting in a lack of water in the body, resulting in symptoms of thirst and dry mouth.
2. Frequent urination at night
Frequent nocturia when sleeping at night is also a sign of high blood sugar, and going to the toilet more than twice at night may be caused by diabetes.
3. Hunger before going to bed
When the blood sugar rises and cannot be metabolized normally, it will be excreted with the urine, resulting in insufficient energy supply to the body, and hunger will appear.
4. Itchy skin
Abnormal itching of the skin while sleeping can also be a symptom of elevated blood sugar and irritated capillary lesions, and if this itchy skin condition occurs frequently and cannot be relieved by medication, it is best to seek medical attention in time.

How to manage the elevated blood sugar?
Many people think that only diabetics need to control sugar, but in fact, how to regulate daily blood sugar rise, everyone needs to learn.
The first is to strictly control the diet, mainly a balanced intake, and at the same time pay attention to the appropriate amount of diet, ensure protein intake, reduce the intake of red meat and processed meat products, eat less and eat more often, and the effect of sugar control is better.
The second is to turn exercise into a habit, because exercise helps to increase insulin sensitivity and improve glucose control. At the same time, it can also exercise to improve cardiovascular problems, and for patients with high blood sugar, appropriate exercise is more beneficial to sugar control.
The third is to adhere to drug treatment, the main clinical means of glucose control are actually inseparable from hypoglycemic drugs, but it is best to consult a physician before taking the drug to control the actual dosage to avoid over-medication.
Of course, in addition to daily sugar control, doing a good job of screening is also an important means to prevent diabetes.
