EP160: ផ្លែទុរេន​ និងស្ករក្នុងឈាម | Durian & My Glucose

Durian causes a rapid and significant rise in blood sugar. Because it is dense in natural sugars (sucrose, fructose, and glucose) and carbohydrates, overconsumption can spike glucose and insulin levels, making it potentially dangerous for individuals managing diabetes The Science Behind the SpikeHigh Sugar and Carbs: A 100-gram serving of durian contains approximately 27 grams of carbohydrates and natural sugars. High Insulin Response: Medical studies show that eating durian triggers a larger insulin release in the body compared to many other tropical fruits. Metabolic Impact: The rapid absorption of these sugars can lead to an intense insulin surge, which may cause temporary vascular stress or symptoms of hyperglycemia (like nausea or blurry vision) in vulnerable individuals. How to Eat it SafelyIf you do not have diabetes and want to enjoy it safely, or if you are managing your blood sugar, follow these tips to minimize sudden spikes: Practice Strict Moderation: Limit your intake to 1 to 2 small seeds (about 80 to 100 grams) in one sitting. Pair With Fiber or Protein: Eat durian after a balanced meal or pair it with protein-rich foods (like unsweetened yogurt) or fiber-rich foods (like chia seeds). This slows down how quickly your body absorbs the sugars. Avoid Other Sweets: Do not combine durian with other sugary foods, desserts, or alcohol. Monitor Levels: If you have diabetes, check your blood sugar levels before and 2 hours after consuming to understand how it affects your body personally
