In recent years, more and more patients with diabetes, blood glucose pumpkin to the legend of the more mass the more even. There were some folk remedies and even that is as long as the continuous consumption of 50 kg pumpkin can control diabetes, and do not take medicine.

Most of these legends is said to come from abroad, one of the most convincing in the 80s of last century, the Japanese Hokkaido diabetes up to 5%, but the village did not Yubari a diabetic. The report of the medical profession in Japan caused great interest, thus the rise in Japan, the "pumpkin fever." Many businesses also as a basis to develop a lot of pumpkin products.

And in almost all the sales staff and customers in all of the "pumpkin to glucose," the correctness of this diagnosis method, convinced.

But when someone asked the sales staff "Pumpkin hypoglycemic" scientific basis, then the people they prevaricate. If a Beijing production of "pumpkin powder," the company's manager, said: "business is not necessary to complete the entire process from research began, and some ready-made conclusions can directly use, for direct production."

Pumpkin truth hypoglycemic

This will come from abroad, as the legend of the practice of scientific research, naturally aroused the concern of many scientists in China and was made the test. Diabetes, such as Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Consultation Centre Professor Lei Shunqun said: pumpkin in common food glycemic index, a high index of food, not only do not eat pumpkin hypoglycemic, but appears yellowish discoloration of skin and even cause blood sugar rise high.

According to Professor Lei Shunqun description: pumpkin glycemic index of 75, if the generated index at 55 below, diabetes basically you eat. If 55 to 75, should control the consumption, a high index of more than 75 food, high-index foods easily digested into the body after digestion, absorption rate, glucose release soon, but after the peak high into the blood, thereby promoting blood sugar.
