Patient's question:
My aunt was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago. She hasn't taken her medicine since then and has been self-administering insulin. The doctor said that people with diabetes shouldn't eat too sweet foods, but she loves young corn so much. Young corn is very sweet now, can people with diabetes eat young corn?Doctor's answer:
The sugar content in young corn is relatively high, so it is not recommended for diabetic patients to eat it to avoid causing blood sugar to rise. Diabetic patients can consume more vegetables and soy products, as these foods have a low sugar content and will not cause blood sugar to increase. It is essential to strictly control sugar intake in your diet, and at the same time, take oral hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of a doctor for symptomatic treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
