Question 2

could a diabetic patient (type 2) eat jujube fruit ?

Accepted Answer

Not advised: Diabetics need to review the sugar content of different fruit. Be careful with fruit with fewer than 10 grams of sugar content per hectogram eg. watermelon, melon , lemon, grape, (ADA has lists). Limit  fruit with 11-20 grams of sugar like banana, pomegranate, orange, apple pear.  Avoid fruit with 20 grams of sugar liked jujube, raisons. The American Diabetes Association is a good start.

Question 4

is durian fruit harmful for diabetic patient? please advise!

Accepted Answer

No, but...!: Hi Lianetteh,

No. Carbohydrates are good, needed, and should not be eliminated in a diabetic diet. Carbs are the only nutrient that raise blood sugar, therefore a diabetic needs to consume the same amount of carbs with each meal to best manage their diabetes. Generally, it is recommended to consume around 60 grams per meal. This approach is called carb-counting. For more info: www.calorieking.com

Question 5

what kind of sugar can diabetics have? am i allowed to eat fruit?

Accepted Answer

Of course: You can eat fruit and anything else with sugar. Sugar intake doesn't cause diabetes and no one eats pure sugar for a meal. Sugar, however, has empty calories without nutrition. Eat a healthy well balanced diet, exercise, and lose weight if necessary. Try to steer toward high glycemic index foods. Check w/a registered dietitian. You can eat almost anything, if you do it properly don't become a monk.

Question 6

can sugar from natural fruit sources (such as bananas) increase the risk of diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Yes it does! if you are an "apple, " but if you are a "pear, " it only will make you fat.

Question 7

could someone who eats too much fruit be just as much at risk for diabetes as someone who gets sugar from other sources? (perhaps overweight as well.)

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Diets rich in the anti-oxidant vitamins a, c, e, and selenium are considered protective. Fruits and vegetables, in variety, and not eaten to excess, is advisable. That said, consuming so much fruit that obesity is the result is ill advised. Everything in moderation, as we say!

Question 9

any fruit can combat diabetes ?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes: Fruit can be controlled by insulin if you have type 1 diabetes.
If you have type 2 diabetes you need to pay attention to food intake (includes fruit) and you should exercise at least twice a week.
I like the online prgram "NuVal" because it list 100 items of all food and drink intake with the range being 100 (very good) or 1-20 (anything but good for you.

Question 10
