Is pumpkin a healthy fruit for diabetics?

Pumpkin can be a healthy choice for people with diabetes when consumed in moderation. It’s low in calories and packed with nutrients like fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, which may help with blood sugar management. While pumpkin does contain carbohydrates, which can influence blood sugar levels, its low glycemic load means it has a slower effect compared to other carb-heavy foods.

To keep its impact on blood sugar minimal, it’s best to enjoy pumpkin as part of a balanced meal, combined with protein or healthy fats. Avoid sugary pumpkin dishes like pies or pumpkin-flavored drinks, as they can cause blood sugar spikes. It’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional to ensure pumpkin fits into your individual diet plan.
