Patient's question:
I have been experiencing some dryness in my eyes recently. I was told that drinking chrysanthemum tea might help, but I have diabetes and am already avoiding certain foods for fear that I might not be able to drink chrysanthemum tea either. Hello doctor, can diabetic patients drink chrysanthemum tea?Doctor's answer:
For diabetic patients, it is appropriate to drink a little chrysanthemum tea, but it is important not to drink too much. Additionally, sugar should not be added. Chrysanthemum tea has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and drinking it will not affect the health of diabetic patients. The substances in chrysanthemum tea can reduce blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for controlling the disease. However, if too much chrysanthemum tea is consumed, it may affect the body's endocrine function to some extent, so it is necessary to control the quantity.
