Dr. Myasnikov: “Throw away the glucometer and test strips. No more Metformin, Diabeton, Siofor and Glucophage! Treat him with this..."

Many patients diagnosed with diabetes do not quite understand the instructions of doctors and, instead of limiting the use of certain foods, completely exclude them from their diet. Most often, such restrictions apply to fruits, because, with rare exceptions, it is a sweet product. But after all, it is not news to anyone that it is fruits that contain extremely useful vitamins and other substances, which are quite difficult to replace with anything else.

Can or can't you eat plums for type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

Like any other fruit, the instruction allows plums for diabetics to use, but it is important to strictly adhere to the recommendations given by the doctor. Denying yourself the pleasure of eating a plum is not necessary for any type of diabetes! Unfortunately, patients who assume that they can increase the amount of plums eaten if the fruit belongs to the sour varieties are mistaken. This product should not be abused, not only because it contains sugar. All diabetics are well aware that the instruction instructs them to monitor not only the amount of glucose and fructose, but also pay attention to the glycemic index of foods.

Plums for diabetes are just dangerous because they have a very low glycemic index. This indicator in this product is only 29 units - every diabetic who is familiar with the instructions should understand what this is fraught with: the blood glucose level will rise very slowly, but at the same time its indicators will be quite high.
