Diabetes patients cook 100g pumpkin every day, which has a good effect on improving symptoms.
cucumber
It is sweet and cool in nature, sweet and crisp, and has the effect of removing heat and quenching thirst. Modern pharmacological research shows that cucumber contains only 1.6% sugar, which is a common substitute food for patients with diabetes, from which vitamin C, carotene, cellulose and minerals can be obtained. Propanedioic acid contained in cucumber can inhibit the conversion of sugars into fat in the human body. Obese diabetes patients with hypertension, eat 100 grams of cucumber a day, great benefits.
Balsam pear
It tastes bitter and cold, and its meat is tender. It is rich in a variety of nutrients, especially vitamin C, which ranks first among all kinds of melons.

They not only have insulin-like effects (so they are called plant insulin), but also stimulate the release of insulin. It has been tested that the total effective rate of oral treatment of type 2 diabetes with Momordica saponin preparation can reach 78.3%.
