00:00Love durian but have diabetes?

00:02You can enjoy it, without spiking your blood sugar.

00:05Here's how.

00:06Durian is rich in nutrients, but also high in natural sugar and calories.

00:10Just 100 grams packs 147 calories and 19 grams of sugar.

00:15But don't worry, diabetics don't have to give it up entirely.

00:18Experts say one to two small segments a day, about 40 to 60 grams, is safe.

00:23Eat it one to two hours after a main meal, not on an empty stomach or at night.

00:28Avoid pairing it with rice, noodles, or sweets.

00:31Instead, match it with fiber-rich foods like veggies, chia seeds, or unsweetened yogurt.

00:36Durian has a moderate glycemic index, but too much can still raise blood sugar.

00:41So keep portions small, and check your levels before and after eating.

00:45If sugar jumps more than 40 degree DL, cut back or skip it next time.

00:49And never eat durian with alcohol or coffee.

00:52That combo can cause bloating, or even raise your blood pressure.

00:56Durian isn't off-limits for diabetics.

00:58Enjoy it wisely, pair it smartly, and always keep an eye on your sugar levels.
