Diabetics generally do not recommend eating pitaya.
Pitaya contains a lot of fructose, glucose, oligosaccharides and other plant polysaccharides, fructose and glucose are easily absorbed by the body, if diabetic patients eat pitaya can lead to further increase in blood sugar levels, is not conducive to disease control, and even make the disease continue to progress, causing a variety of complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic
nephropathy, etc.
