Patient's question:
My husband often stays up late and has an irregular diet due to work. At the beginning of this year, my husband was diagnosed with diabetes, and now we pay close attention to our diet. Since my husband loves fruits, I would like to ask the doctor whether diabetic patients can eat apples and oranges.Doctor's answer:
Patients with diabetes can consume apples and oranges orally. They are not high in sugar, and in addition, they contain vitamin C and various trace elements, which are beneficial to the body. Patients with diabetes should take hypoglycemic drugs on time and use insulin to control blood sugar, closely monitor changes in blood sugar data. If it appears too high or too low again, it is recommended to go to the hospital for timely medication adjustment. Eating more vegetables and fruits with high fiber content, not eating too much bread, and exercising appropriately can all help control blood sugar.
