Can people with high blood sugar eat plums?
Disease description:
I went to the supermarket today and saw that the plums were especially fresh, so I bought some. However, my blood sugar is a bit high; may I eat plums?

People with high blood sugar can eat plums, but should pay attention to moderation. Plums are fruits with a low glycemic index and relatively low sugar content, approximately between 7% and 8%. Therefore, eating plums in moderation has minimal impact on blood sugar fluctuations. Plums are rich in various nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and organic acids, which are beneficial to health and help promote overall well-being. Although plums have minimal effects on blood sugar, individuals with high blood sugar should still pay attention to the following points when consuming them:
1. Stable blood sugar control: It is safer to consume plums in moderation when fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar are within a controlled range.
2. Portion control: Generally, it is recommended to eat 2 to 3 plums at a time, with a total daily intake not exceeding 10 plums, to avoid significant blood sugar fluctuations.
3. Blood sugar monitoring: After eating plums, it is advisable to monitor blood sugar levels to understand individual responses and adjust consumption accordingly.
