Can diabetics drink carrot juice?

While sugars in foods turn into blood sugar quickly, the sugar in carrots is converted at a slower rate. Carrots are considered very good for diabetics as they provide beta-carotene which reduces the risk of diabetes and controls blood sugar.

In 100g of edible carrots, according to the percentage ratio, there are: water 88.5; protein 1.5; glucid 8.8; cellulose 1.2; ash 0.8. Mineral salts in carrots such as potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, copper, boron, bromine, manganese, magnesium, molybdenum...

The sugar in carrots is mainly simple sugar (such as fructose, glucose) accounting for 50% of the total sugar in the root, which is a type of sugar that is easily oxidized under the action of enzymes in the body; sugars such as levulose and dextrose are absorbed directly.

Carrots contain a lot of vitamin C, D, E and B vitamins; in addition, they also contain a lot of carotene (higher than in tomatoes); after entering the body, this substance will gradually convert into vitamin A, the vitamin of growth and youth.

3 great uses of carrots for people with diabetes

Carrots help stabilize blood sugar

Carrots, whether cooked or raw, have a low glycemic index, making them less likely to cause a spike in blood sugar. Because they are also high in fiber, they can help people control their weight, which is beneficial in preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Good for eye health

Degenerative eye conditions can occur due to vitamin A deficiency in people with diabetes. Accordingly, carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A and also include the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin which can help prevent age-related macular degeneration.

Improve heart health

Carrots are rich in potassium, which relaxes blood vessels and reduces the risk of high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disorders. Eating one medium carrot provides about 4% of the recommended daily intake of potassium. The fiber in carrots can reduce the risk of heart disease as well as lower low-density lipoprotein, commonly known as “bad” cholesterol.

How much carrots is enough for diabetics?

Diabetics can eat two medium carrots or drink half a glass of carrot juice a day. If they consume too many carrots, they may develop jaundice because carrots contain a lot of beta carotene.

People who are allergic to compounds and ingredients in carrots should not eat this root vegetable, especially raw, to avoid hives, swelling, itchy mouth, difficulty breathing, etc.

Note, diabetics should monitor their blood sugar levels every day. This will help patients know the impact of diet on blood sugar levels, and detect early signs of abnormalities to make appropriate changes in lifestyle and treatment methods.
