Disease description:
Today my family bought me some golden grapefruits, but my blood sugar level is a bit high. I am worried it may affect my blood sugar. I would like to know whether it is okay to eat golden grapefruit when blood sugar is high?

Patients with high blood sugar can consume Gold Grapefruit in moderation. Gold Grapefruit is considered a low glycemic food among fruits, with a moderate sugar content of about 7%. It is also rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and other nutrients. These components help increase satiety, promote metabolism, and generally do not adversely affect blood sugar control. However, patients should still pay attention to the following points when consuming Gold Grapefruit:
1. Control portion size: Although Gold Grapefruit has a moderate sugar content, excessive consumption may still cause blood sugar fluctuations; therefore, it should be consumed in moderation.
2. Consume after blood sugar stabilization: It is best to consume Gold Grapefruit after blood sugar levels are well-controlled, to avoid any adverse effects on blood sugar.
3. Timing of consumption: It is recommended to consume Gold Grapefruit between meals to minimize its impact on postprandial blood sugar levels.
4. Reduce staple food intake: After consuming Gold Grapefruit, appropriately reduce the intake of staple food in the next meal to help maintain blood sugar balance.
