Patient's question:
I started experiencing thirst a month ago, and even now, drinking water doesn't quench my thirst as effectively as before. Recently, I've also noticed that my vision has been getting worse. My wife mentioned that I've become much thinner than usual. After getting a blood sugar test at the hospital, the doctor told me that I have diabetes and advised me to eat more apples.Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetics can eat apples. Apples are cool in nature and sweet in taste, with some varieties being slightly sour. They have the functions of tonifying the heart and replenishing qi, generating fluids and stopping coughs, strengthening the stomach and regulating the spleen, relieving irritability, cooling the body, and reviving after drinking. Due to the slow and uniform absorption of sugar in apples, they can lower blood sugar, especially post-meal blood sugar, and have a good therapeutic effect on diabetes.
