Managing blood sugar levels for diabetics is a fine balancing act that necessitates giving every dietary decision serious thought. Certain fruits are known for having a lot of sugar, however certain fruits could really be quite good for those with diabetes. Watermelon and bananas are two common fruits that frequently cause people to worry if they can be eaten safely without raising blood sugar levels. In order to shed light on whether diabetics may include watermelon and bananas in a balanced diet, we’ll examine professional advice and nutritional data in this post.
Should Diabetes Patient Take Watermelon and Bananas?
AIIMS doctor Priyanka Sehrawat explained the concept of Glycemic Index vs Glycemic. The doctor revealed that Low Glycemic Index is a parameter that tells us that our blood sugar will spike so fast when we eat XYZ food and we don’t want those spikes. Glycemic Index is low in fibre-rich food items like salad, cucumber, cucumber, almonds, and walnuts.
The Glycemic Index is high in processed food items like sugar. So you have to take fiber rich diet and a low Glycemic Index but the Glycemic Index tells an incomplete story. The glycemic Index of watermelon is also very high but diabetic patients can take it.
How to take Watermelon?
Glycemic Load doesn’t tell us how fast a sugar spike will be, it tells us how much a sugar spike will be. Glycemic Load is more important than the Glycemic Index. Glycemic Load of watermelon, banana, apple, and pear is between 11-and 19 which is a moderate Glycemic Load. Diabetic patients can consume these foods 3 times a week. Glycemic Load of rice, potato, and sugar is more than 20 so you can avoid them
