    Pumpkin

    Pumpkin may help manage diabetes by lowering blood glucose levels. A study on diabetic rats found that pumpkin extract helped regenerate and increase beta cells that produce insulin. Pumpkin contains compounds like D-chiroinositol and antioxidants that regulate insulin activity and reduce oxidative stress and damage to beta cells, allowing some cells to regenerate. While not all damaged cells could be repaired, the results provide hope for diabetics struggling with insulin injections. Pumpkin has a low glycemic load despite its medium glycemic index, so including it in the diet is unlikely to significantly impact blood sugar.

    Pumpkin for Diabetes
    f you have been really frustrated injecting insulin into your body, then here is a solution for you take PUMPKN.Pumpkin
    contains compounds which are helpful for diabetics and effective in lowering down the high blood glucose levels. So
    consuming pumpkin will surely bring down the number of insulin injections per day which make many diabetics frustrated. A
    recent research conducted in East China Normal University on diabetic rats reveals that the extract of pumpkin helps to
    regenerate the pancreatic cells which were damaged and boosting the levels of beta cells which produce insulin. n this
    experiment the rats were having type diabetes, but the scientists believe the extract of pumpkin will be equally beneficial for
    type diabetics as well.
    The effectiveness of pumpkin against diabetes is attributed to a molecule D-chiroinositol and the antioxidants present in
    pumpkin which regulate the insulin activity. ncreasing the insulin levels reduces the blood glucose levels and this in turn
    reduces the oxidative oxygen species which damage the beta-cell membranes preventing further damage and allowing
    regeneration. However some of the beta cells in the rats couldn't be repaired as the damage was beyond repair.
    According to World Diabetes Foundation more than 230 million people are affected by diabetes. This is almost 6% of the
    total population of the world. This result from the experiment gives a lot of hope to the diabetics who are frustrated from
    diabetes and insulin injections.
    s Pumpkin good for diabetics?
    The Glycemic ndex of pumpkin is 75 which can make you reluctant to take it. But we will calculate its Glycemic Load
    to find its effect on the blood sugar.t has been found that 80 gm of pumpkin contains 4 gm of carbohydrates.To get
    the GL value, multiply the G with the carbohydrate amount and divide with 100.
    GL = G*Amount of carbohydrate/100
    So GL of pumpkin = (75*4)/100 = 3.
    So you see that GL is very low and hence it will have a negligible effect on the blood sugar level. Therefore it can be
    concluded that pumpkin is a good vegetable for diabetics.
