Patient's question:
Uncle has always had diabetes in the family, which has been passed down for generations. He is always very small and wants to understand what diabetics cannot eat?Doctor's answer:
In diabetic diet, it is necessary to follow five principles: controlling total calories, prioritizing lightness, using less oil, eating less sugar, and maintaining a balanced diet. Do not eat popcorn. First, popcorn belongs to the starch category of food. Second, popcorn is dry and hot, which harms the body with yin deficiency and internal heat, making it absolutely inadvisable for diabetic patients with such conditions. Glutinous rice should be consumed in moderation because diabetic patients have impaired sugar metabolism and should avoid high-carb foods. Rice is hydrolyzed into glucose in the body, and glutinous rice has an even higher sugar content.
