Are pineapples good for diabetes type 2?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pineapple may offer amazing health benefits but it is not a good choice for diabetics. Pineapple is a medium GI fruit. Foods with low GI (glycemic index) are considered best for diabetics. Carbs can also contribute to high blood sugar

Eating pineapple can be part of a balanced diet even if you have type 2 diabetes, but moderation is key. Pineapple contains natural sugars that can raise blood sugar levels, so it's important to monitor your portion size.
Here are some points to consider:
- Portion Control: Limit your intake to small servings, such as a few chunks, to avoid a rapid spike in blood sugar.
- Pair with Protein or Fiber: Eating pineapple along with foods rich in protein or fiber can help slow down sugar absorption.
- Monitor Blood Sugar: Check your blood glucose levels after eating pineapple to see how your body responds.
- Consult Your Doctor or Dietitian: They can provide personalized advice based on your overall health and diabetes management plan.
Remember, no single food will control diabetes, but a balanced diet combined with medication and lifestyle changes is essential. Enjoy pineapple occasionally as part of a varied diet, and always keep track of how it affects your blood sugar.

View allI'm trying to understand if my SerumCHODPAP levels with an ATCS of 324.8 are considered abnormal. Could you provide some guidance on this? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure everything's okay.
A serum CHOD-PAP level of 324.8 is within the normal range. CHOD-PAP is an enzyme used to measure levels of phosphatase in the body, and a level of 324.8 is not considered abnormal. No specific treatment is needed for this result.

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I think I have a hormonal imbalance causing gynocomastia. I've had it for years now and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? Who should I see for this issue? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible.
Gynaecomastia can be treated with medications or surgery—see endocrinologist or plastic surgeon.
