What should diabetic patients eat as staple foods?

Patient's question:

My friend has been feeling unwell recently and went to the hospital for a routine check-up. The doctor discovered that he has diabetes, so I'd like to understand specifically what staple foods are good for diabetics?

Doctor's answer:

Eat more vegetables that are beneficial for lowering blood sugar, such as celery, cucumber, tomato, radish, mung bean sprouts, bitter gourd, green vegetables, etc. Eat more bacteria and algae foods, such as mushrooms, straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, kelp, nori, etc. When eating fruits, reduce extra staples, such as eating 150 grams of apples reduces 25 grams of pork. Eat whole grains and tubers instead of staples, such as oats, buckwheat, millet, potatoes, etc., and eat less because porridge is easily absorbed and difficult to determine, and blood sugar often rises after meals. Daily edible oil should not be less than 25g.
