Valor nutricional de las peras tienen un impacto significativo en la enfermedad renal

Diabetic nephropathy

Fruits can provide the abundant vitamins, mineral substance and dietary fiber. In the past, people thought that Diabetes patients could not eat fruits, which is because that fruits contain lots of sugers.

As a matter of fact, most of the sugars in fruits are fructoses. The absorption and metabolism of fructose don’t need the help of insulin, but diabetics can not eat too much, that is because fructose has an influence on blood fat. From the point of view of the glycemic index (GI) of blood sugar, the GI of most fruits is less than 55, they are belong to low-GI foods and don’t have a big effect on the blood sugar, except for watermelon and seedless grape. So Diabetes patients can choose some fruits with low GI. The higher the acidity of fruits is, less it affects the blood sugar, such as plum and tangerine.

Certain foods must be avoided to maintain the best possible health. However, while eliminating or greatly reducing electrolytes or other food elements that are potentially harmful to someone with CKD, the person may also be eliminating essential protein, vitamins and minerals. Therefore protein, vitamin and mineral supplements are often prescribed as replacement therapy. Medicines that help patients eliminate unwanted levels of other electrolytes found in many foods are also prescribed. So the renal diet can be a difficult balancing act.
