Patient's question:
My friend's father is 58 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes before. He has been taking medication to control it. I wonder if diabetic patients can eat clementines?Doctor's answer:
If a diabetic controls their condition well, there is no problem eating a ugli fruit. This mainly depends on your actual condition. Ugli fruits are rich in both vitamin C and citric acid, and they also contain pectin, which can effectively protect the intestines, promote absorption, and alleviate constipation issues. Additionally, components like naringin can effectively protect capillaries, enhance blood vessel flexibility, and help lower blood pressure and expand coronary arteries in the heart, which can prevent coronary heart disease.
