Pears contain a certain amount of sugar, but they are also rich in dietary fiber and water, and have a relatively low glycemic index, meaning they have a smaller impact on blood sugar levels. Eating pears in moderation is acceptable, but the following points should be noted:
1. Portion control: Although pears have a smaller effect on blood sugar, they still contain sugar, so it is important to control the amount consumed each time. It is generally recommended not to eat more than one medium-sized pear per serving.
2. Blood sugar control: Patients should consume pears when their blood sugar levels are well-controlled.
3. Overall dietary balance: In addition to fruit, attention should also be given to overall dietary balance, including appropriate combinations of protein, healthy fats, and low-GI foods.
4. Timing of consumption: It is best to eat pears between meals, rather than immediately after a meal, to minimize the impact on postprandial blood glucose levels.
