Can you eat pears during a 24-hour “water” diet for diabetes?

Eating pears means that this is no longer a water diet, but a limited fruit fasting.

 

 

From a medical point of view, these are two different strategies
What does a pear do in a diabetic’s body
A pear contains sugars such as fructose, glucose, and sorbitol. Even one medium-sized pear has 15–18 g of carbohydrates, which increases glucose levels, triggers insulin secretion, and interrupts metabolic fasting
Why is pear fiber a plus, but NOT during fasting?
Yes, pears contain pectin, which slows down the absorption of sugar and is useful in a normal diet. But during fasting, fiber irritates the intestines, can cause bloating, sugar fluctuations, and weakness

A pear does not protect against dehydration
There is a popular myth that a pear is 85% water. This is true, but that water is sodium-free.
It does not restore electrolyte balance, and sometimes increases diuresis and deepens cellular dehydration

Why pears are sometimes recommended — and why it is a mistake
Pears are recommended because they are “not too sweet” and have a low glycemic index
But in diabetes, not only GI is important, but also glycemic load, fasting state, lack of protein and fats.
That is why during a 24-hour fast, pears can cause an uncontrolled rise in glucose, especially against the background of dehydration.

This is part of a bigger system.
