Quantitative evaluation of sugars in some fruits consumed by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Jos metropolis
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a disease presently ravaging the human race. Many factors are responsible for the cause of the disease, such as genetic malfunctioning of pancreas, hyperglycemia and high sugar intake thereby over laboring the insulin. The need to evaluate the sugar content of commonly consumed fruits by patients with diabetes was imperative in order to enhance proper management of the disease. The fruits were obtained from the Jos environment after considering a questionnaire administered to the patients in Jos, and analyses of the sugars were performed using established standard procedures. The result of the study indicates that garden egg, pawpaw, orange, water melon and apple were relatively low in glucose, while banana, guava and mango fruits were high in glucose. The study therefore lends support to the consumption of some fruits by diabetes mellitus patients.
