Patient's question:
My mother is a diabetic. It is said that diabetes requires very careful dietary management, otherwise it can become increasingly severe. So, Doctor, could you tell me if diabetics can eat watermelon? Thank you for your explanation, Doctor.Doctor's answer:
First of all, diabetic patients generally exhibit symptoms of excessive thirst, hunger, and frequent urination, often accompanied by weight loss. In terms of onset, it is mainly related to hereditary factors across generations, individual constitution, and dietary and lifestyle habits. For diabetic patients, strict dietary control is essential, and fruits like watermelon should be avoided as they contain high sugar levels. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
