Patient's question:
My husband recently developed diabetes, and he has been undergoing treatment at the hospital these past few days. He used to love eating sugary foods, especially lychees, often consuming a large amount at a time. Now that he has diabetes, he should actually increase his intake of these foods. Hello, can diabetic patients eat beef and lychees?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can eat beef, but it is best to avoid lychees. Lychees are still a fruit with high sugar content and also high in calories. After eating lychees, diabetic patients may experience a further increase in blood sugar levels. Patients must strictly control their diet and avoid high-calorie foods. The main meal should not be less than 100 grams per meal. Under ideal blood sugar control, it is possible to consume small amounts of apples, pears, kiwis, etc.
