If you have diabetes and are following your doctor's or dietician's advise to avoid sugary fruits that you used to pick to satisfy your palate as well as receive necessary vitamins, you may still have limited options. Strawberry, according to current research, may be the perfect superfood for controlling blood sugar levels and satisfying sweet cravings.

A study on the effect of strawberry consumption on blood glucose levels was just completed by academics. The researchers asked 14 overweight participants to drink a strawberry drink at three different intervals in this study published in the journal Food and Function, and discovered that those who drank the strawberry beverages two hours before their meal had significantly lower blood glucose levels over a 10-hour period than those who drank it with their meal. The fruit may function by enhancing insulin signalling, which moves glucose from the bloodstream into cells where it is turned into energy, according to the study.

• According to a study published in the journal Women's Health, women who ate fewer or no strawberries had higher A1cs and a 10% higher risk of developing diabetes than those who ate at least two servings of strawberries each week. Takeaways from the research: A woman's risk of T2DM can be reduced by 10% by eating two or more cups of strawberries per week. Another study found that eating more anthocyanin-rich foods, such as strawberries, can lower the incidence of T2DM.

• "Vitamin C and magnesium are abundant in strawberries. We already know that vitamin C is high in antioxidants, which can help to reduce diabetes-related problems, and that magnesium can assist to improve insulin resistance and diabetic control. Not to mention, they're high in dietary fibre, which slows sugar absorption, lowering blood sugar levels and assisting with satiety. When it comes to carbohydrates, one cup has only 7-8 g of carbs and 35-40 kcal, making them a low glycemic fruit that is highly recommended for diabetics "Diabetes Care Coach .

• "Strawberries eaten alone are healthier than those consumed in desserts, drinks, and other beverages. On alternate days, 1 cup/100 gms is advised "Acharya adds.

• While strawberries are high in antioxidants and offer numerous health benefits for diabetics, this does not mean that they can be ingested in any quantity or at any time. Shruti Bharadwaj, Senior Clinical Dietician at Narayana Hrudayalaya Multispeciality Hospital in Ahmedabad, tells HT Digital when and how much to eat strawberries.
  
  "Strawberry is high in polyphenol, an antioxidant that aids in illness prevention and inflammation reduction.
  
  There isn't a single food that can help you manage your blood sugar levels. The quantity of carbohydrate in a meal, as well as the overall kind of carbohydrate, plays a crucial influence. It does not imply that strawberries have a low glycemic index, implying that they can be consumed in large quantities. 4-5 berries are ideal for an evening snack or a mid-morning snack."

• Strawberries are also high in fibre, which helps to promote digestive function while also preventing vitamin shortage.
  
  "In type 2 diabetics, anthocyanins in strawberries lower inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance. There are 36 calories and 0.7 grammes of protein in 100 grammes of strawberries. In a day, 1.5 cups of strawberries can be consumed. Strawberries contain minerals that can help type 2 diabetics overcome nutritional deficiencies. Strawberry fibres aid in the cleansing and regulation of bowel movements in patients. Overconsumption of strawberries, on the other hand, should be avoided because it has some negative consequences!"
