Patient's question:
Since getting diabetes, I haven't dared to eat anything containing sugar. I mainly eat coarse grains as the basis. Recently, I caught a cold and have been coughing badly, which is really painful. My friend said that Reishi spore powder can help with cough relief and reducing phlegm, and it can also lower blood sugar. Hello, can diabetics eat Reishi spore powder?Doctor's answer:
Reishi spore powder, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has several main effects, including boosting immunity to fight pathogens, treating colds, and relieving coughs and phlegm. At the same time, reishi spore powder can improve overall blood circulation, enhance pancreatic blood circulation, reduce pancreatic excretory function, and stabilize blood sugar levels in diabetes. In addition, it has other positive effects such as protecting the liver, lowering blood lipids, and reducing blood pressure. However, all these effects are supplementary and can help stabilize conditions, but they cannot replace medical treatment for diseases.
