In daily life, some people say that not only eating pumpkin can have a very good hypoglycemic effect, but also pumpkin seeds have a high hypoglycemic effect, so it is best not to eat it. If it belongs to the middle and high level, it is necessary to limit the consumption. Pumpkin belongs to the food with high glycemic index.
If you eat pumpkin regularly, even if it has high nutritional value and contains many beneficial ingredients, it will not play a role in lowering blood sugar. Instead, you will eat pumpkins because you eat too much, but you should control the amount of pumpkins. If you eat too many pumpkins today, there is a good way to reduce them accordingly.
At the same time, people with diabetes need to pay attention to choosing pumpkins that are not so soft in taste, even if they are cooked, they should not take too long, because the softer they are, the less oil they contain, which will be healthier than sunflower seeds. If you think so, you underestimate pumpkin seeds, because every 100 grams of pumpkin seeds can contain about half of the fat, and so can diabetics if they eat too much.
As for lowering blood sugar, that's impossible. At present, the best way to treat diabetes and stabilize blood sugar is insulin. Pumpkin and pumpkin seeds are not insulin. So a certain food can lower blood sugar, not to mention stopping taking medicine because of this, which is not good for your health, because even the best food has good effects.
Besides, in our daily life, we should not believe that a certain food can lower blood sugar, let alone stop taking medicine because of it, which is not good for our health, because even the best diet therapy only plays an auxiliary role and will not achieve therapeutic effect, and pumpkin seeds are the same.
Therefore, everyone should take medicine at ordinary times, and of course pay attention to diet, so it is best to manage health in many ways.
