Can eating lychees lower blood sugar?

Male  65 years old 2018-06-26
My mother-in-law has been suffering from diabetes for many years, and I don't know where she recently heard that eating lychee can lower blood sugar, so she eats lychee every day. Does lychee really lower blood sugar?

    Reducing blood sugar by eating lychees is not reliable, but it will aggravate the condition of diabetes for three reasons. One is that the cause of diabetes is mostly a problem with the endocrine system that secretes insulin in the body. Lychee is not a medicine and cannot solve the problem of insulin secretion. The second is that excessive consumption of litchi will cause hypoglycemia in a short period of time, but fructose will still be converted into glucose after a long time, so that the blood sugar does not fall but rises. The third is that people with diabetes above 60% also have hyperlipidemia, and eating a large amount of fructose will cause hyperlipidemia, causing a vicious cycle.
