Introduction
People with high blood sugar can generally drink monk fruit-infused water in moderation, but should pay attention to the amount consumed and their own blood sugar control. The sweetness of monk fruit mainly comes from natural sweet components such as mogrosides. These components are intensely sweet but contain very few calories and are not directly absorbed or utilized by the body. Therefore, drinking monk fruit-infused water in appropriate amounts generally does not cause an increase in blood sugar levels.

People with high blood sugar can generally drink Luo Han Guo (monk fruit) infused water in moderation, but should pay attention to the amount consumed and their own blood sugar control. The analysis is as follows:

The sweetness of Luo Han Guo mainly comes from natural sweet components such as mogrosides. These components are intensely sweet but contain very few calories and are not directly absorbed or utilized by the body. Therefore, moderate consumption of Luo Han Guo infused water generally does not cause an increase in blood sugar levels.

Although Luo Han Guo contains small amounts of sugars such as glucose and fructose, the overall sugar content is relatively low, and its impact on blood sugar is less significant than that of pure glucose. Additionally, the sugar content decreases gradually with repeated infusions.

Individuals with high blood sugar should drink Luo Han Guo infused water in moderation to avoid excessive sugar intake. Generally, consuming 1-2 cups of Luo Han Guo tea per day is sufficient. After drinking Luo Han Guo tea, people with high blood sugar should monitor their blood glucose levels to stay informed about their condition and adjust their diet and medication plans accordingly.

If individuals with high blood sugar have poor blood sugar control, it is recommended they consume Luo Han Guo tea cautiously to avoid unnecessary sugar intake and potential blood sugar fluctuations.

Can people with high blood sugar eat pears?
If blood glucose control is poor, with frequent episodes of hyperglycemia or significant fluctuations, or if the patient is currently experiencing acute diabetic complications, it is not recommended to consume pears. Pears contain a certain amount of sugar, and their consumption at such times may worsen glucose dysregulation and be detrimental to disease management. Additionally, it is not advisable to drink pear juice or consume canned pears, as these processed forms lead to faster sugar absorption and may more easily elevate blood glucose levels.
