Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for two years. Recently, I feel extremely thirsty, have a big appetite, but my body is getting thinner day by day. And lately, I really want to eat white radish. Can people with diabetes eat a lot of white radish?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a common clinical diagnosis caused by the interaction of intergenerational inheritance and environmental factors, with hyperglycemia as the main indicator. Common symptoms include polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weight loss. If a diabetic patient experiences recurrent thirst symptoms, it is relatively clear that it is a series of symptoms caused by poor blood sugar control. White radish has the effect of moistening the intestines and expelling gas. Diabetic patients can consume a sufficient amount of it. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet.
