Can people with diabetes eat Sanhua plums?

Diabetic patients are generally advised not to eat Sanhua plums.

Sanhua plums usually contain abundant nutrients such as protein, carotene, vitamins, and riboflavin, but they also have a relatively high sugar content. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels. If blood sugar remains elevated over a long period, it may lead to chronic damage and dysfunction of organs such as the heart, nerves, and eyes. Patients usually need to strictly control their sugar intake. Because Sanhua plums contain excessive amounts of sugar, consuming them is not recommended, as it may cause a sharp rise in blood glucose levels, making blood sugar control difficult and adversely affecting health.

In daily life, diabetic patients can calculate the total caloric intake per day and maintain a balanced, well-proportioned diet, focusing on whole grains and vegetables rich in vitamins. Additionally, appropriate physical exercise is necessary to help burn excess calories, which greatly contributes to maintaining stable blood glucose levels.
