Patient's question:
My aunt has diabetes. Recently, she has been eating a lot and always feels thirsty with pain in her mouth. She constantly drinks water and urinates frequently, yet she remains thin. My sister bought her snow fungus, saying it's very beneficial for health. But can someone with diabetes eat snow fungus?Doctor's answer:
The blood sugar of diabetic patients drops abnormally, the blood is in a hyperosmotic state, glucose utilization is impaired, and the symptoms of "three more and one less" reappear. Snow fungus is very nutritious and can be eaten in sufficient quantities. It is recommended to review at the hospital's endocrinology department. Medications to lower blood sugar should be used under the guidance of a physician, take medication on time, review blood sugar irregularly, and keep blood sugar within the normal range. Strictly control diet and avoid eating too sweet foods.
