Patient's question:
I would like to consult about whether it's good to soak black beans in vinegar for diabetes. Because since I was diagnosed with diabetes, my body has always felt a bit weak, and my appearance looks a bit thin, giving off a sickly impression. My family members suggested that I eat something nutritious, saying that vinegar-soaked black beans are good.Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients should first carefully examine pancreatic function, deduce the type of diabetes based on the examination results, and then determine appropriate medication for treatment. It is also important to pay attention to dietary control, consuming less greasy food, and limiting starchy staple foods to no more than half a liang per day. Black beans soaked in vinegar can be consumed in extremely small amounts. If blood pressure is normal, this food does not have a significant effect on lowering blood pressure. Additionally, a well-balanced diet should be maintained, with a focus on consuming light and nutritious foods.
