Diabetes can take hold through an irregular lifestyle and eating habits, and the number of people with the disease is rising worldwide. Changing one's lifestyle makes it easier to keep diabetes under control, so it is important to pay attention to what to eat and what not to eat.
Diabetes occurs mainly when the body's sugar level is not right, because the body does not make the right amount of insulin. Some people are born with the disease, while in others sugar levels rise because of poor eating habits and an irregular lifestyle.
If your fasting sugar level is above 100 mg/dL, that is a sign of diabetes. If sugar stays above 140 mg/dL after eating, that too is a sign of diabetes.
Fruit, with care
Doctors advise diabetes patients to eat fruit. But people with diabetes should plan their own diet, watching the amount of sugar in it and avoiding excess carbohydrates.
In the same way, when eating fruit they need to watch how much sugar it contains. According to doctors, diabetes patients can eat fruit, but it is important to know which fruits to eat and which not to.
Fruits people with diabetes should eat:
- Kiwi
- Apple
- Orange
- Strawberry
- Cherry
Fruits people with diabetes should not eat:
- Watermelon
- Pineapple
- Banana
- Mango
Skip the juice
Doctors say diabetes patients should avoid drinking fruit juice, especially packaged juice sold in the market, and should eat fruit instead, which helps keep diabetes under control.
But do not eat too much fruit, as eating a lot can raise a diabetes patient's sugar level. Doctors say people with diabetes should eat one to two fruits a day as part of their diet.
Eating fruit in the morning is considered more beneficial. Fruit should never be eaten with meals, and eating fruit late at night should also be avoided.
