Patient's question:
I am 33 years old and have type 2 diabetes. I have been treated at the hospital for over a year. The doctor said my condition is stable. Recently, I want to eat tofu products, specifically bean curd sheets. But if you don't know if I can eat them, I won't eat them. I'm afraid that eating them might improve my condition. Can people with type 2 diabetes eat bean curd sheets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetic patients can eat bean products like tofu skin and also consume coarse grain-based diets, which include vegetables rich in dietary fiber. It's advisable to reduce the intake of staple foods made from rice and wheat, as well as foods high in starch, since starch is metabolized in the body to convert into glucose, which can raise blood sugar levels. High-fat and high-oil foods should be controlled appropriately. Make sure to drink plenty of water. Wishing you good health.
