Patient's question:
Can people with diabetes eat corn porridge? My family has prepared some corn porridge, and I'm quite reluctant to eat it, but I'm afraid it will affect my diabetes if I eat it, so I want to ask if I can eat corn porridge? Is corn one of the forbidden foods for people with diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Actually, it's mainly that regardless of what kind of porridge it is, there's a gelatinization process during the cooking process. So during the gelatinization process, it may lead to an increase in the glycemic index. Therefore, as a principle, it's best not to drink porridge. If you really want to drink porridge, then don't use those corn fragments; instead, use whole corn kernels, and don't cook it for too long. Choose the kind where the water is relatively clear.
