With the summer, the season of mango has arrived. Mango is a sweet fruit enjoyed by every age group. This fruit is known to be the king of fruits. The health benefits of mangoes have always been debatable because of their excessive sugar and calorie content which generally overpower the nutritional value of the fruit. Therefore, diabetics are mostly advised to eat mangoes in moderation. But the jury is still out on whether or not mangoes are good for diabetics.
According to the experts, mango is a sweetened fruit but it also contains fibers, and antioxidants which are required for a healthy lifestyle. The fiber present in mango helps the body to reduce the absorption of sugar. It is a low glycemic fruit, and the instant spike in blood sugar will not be seen only if consumed within a limit.
Mango consumed in very fewer amounts will not harm you, start consuming 100gm of mango at a time and detect your sugar level. If the body is not reacting to the negative side then one can consume it in less amount. Diabetic people who are starting to consume mango can only have 60-70 gm.
