People with diabetes can't eat dried fruits at will.
1. According to the nutritional analysis of dried fruits, the sugar content of dried fruits is about 10%25%, and the fat content is about 30%36%. In the body, sugar produces 4 kilocalories per gram and fat produces 9 kilocalories per gram, which is a high-calorie food.
2. From the analysis of nutritional metabolism in the body, although fat belongs to non-sugar substances, if the intake exceeds the required amount, on the one hand, excess calories can be converted into body fat and stored, which will increase the weight and increase the burden on islets. On the other hand, lipids can be transformed into glucose and glycogen by gluconeogenesis in the body, which has an indirect effect on blood sugar.
Therefore, dried fruit foods have a certain impact on blood sugar levels and cannot be eaten at will. If you eat it, you can subtract the staple food with the same calorie according to the principle of equivalent exchange. The calories of semi-dried fruits are equivalent to one or two staple foods, and can be eaten in moderation, not exceeding the total calories. In a word, diabetics should not only control staple food, but also pay attention to control total calories.
