Can diabetic patients eat durian and lychee?

Diabetes patients can usually eat durian and lychee, but should pay attention to moderate consumption.

If diabetes patients have good glycemic control, with fasting blood glucose stably below 7 mmol/L, postprandial blood glucose below 10 mmol/L two hours after meals, and no other complications, moderate consumption of durian and lychee is acceptable. Durian and lychee contain abundant vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, which can provide certain nutritional benefits. However, intake should be controlled as both fruits also contain high levels of sugar. It is recommended to consume them under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist.

After eating durian and lychee, it is necessary to closely monitor blood glucose changes to understand one's tolerance to durian. Similarly, blood glucose should be closely monitored after consuming lychee to promptly understand its specific impact on individual blood sugar levels. If a diabetes patient's blood glucose is relatively stable, a small amount of lychee can be consumed between meals.

In daily life, maintaining regular physical activity and sleep patterns is also important to help maintain stable blood glucose levels.
