Diabetes can eat sweet potatoes

Diabetes patients can eat sweet potato properly.

Sweet potato is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal motility and help prevent constipation. At the same time, it can increase satiety and reduce the intake of other foods. In addition, sweet potato has a relatively low glycemic index compared to staple foods such as refined rice and white flour. The speed and amplitude of blood sugar rise after eating will be slower. Although sweet potato has a certain sweetness, it also contains a variety of nutrients beneficial to the human body, such as vitamins and minerals.

However, diabetic patients should also pay attention to controlling the amount when eating sweet potato. After all, sweet potato also contains certain carbohydrates. Excessive consumption may still lead to blood sugar fluctuations. At the same time, blood sugar should be closely monitored, and the consumption amount and frequency of sweet potato should be adjusted according to their own blood sugar situation to ensure that blood sugar is controlled within a reasonable range.
