Patient's question:
My grandfather went to the hospital last month because of pain and had a thorough examination. The doctor said he had diabetes. He prescribed many medications and told me to pay attention to his diet, worrying about the elderly's disorganized eating habits. Today, my grandfather said he wants to eat corn. Can diabetic patients eat boiled corn?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can eat boiled yu but should not eat too much. In the case of diabetes, what needs to be interfered with is the daily spread, not what cannot be eaten. The main component of starch corn that diabetic patients can eat is starch. It is necessary to carefully check the pancreatic function, glycated hemoglobin, and determine an appropriate hypoglycemic treatment plan to provide carbohydrates. Diabetes refers to an endocrine system disease that causes metabolic disorders of blood sugar in the body due to insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistance.
