Can I eat mangosteen if I have high blood sugar and high urine protein?
Disease description:
Today I went to the fruit store and bought some mangosteen. My mom has had high blood sugar for a while. Is it okay for someone with high blood sugar and high urine protein to eat mangosteen?
It is not recommended to consume mangosteen when blood sugar and urine protein levels are high.
1. Mangosteen has a relatively high sugar content, approximately 15% to 17%, classifying it as a fruit with moderate sugar content. For individuals with high blood sugar, consuming mangosteen may further elevate blood glucose levels and potentially trigger complications of diabetes.
2. Although mangosteen is rich in protein and various nutrients, the intake of its protein may increase the burden on the kidneys. For patients who already have elevated urine protein levels, this may worsen their condition.
Considering the effects on both blood sugar and urine protein levels, patients with high blood sugar and high urine protein are advised to avoid eating mangosteen. In daily diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are low in sugar, low in protein, and high in fiber, and to follow the dietary recommendations of a doctor or nutritionist.
