Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My husband went to the hospital for a thorough check-up a few days ago. The doctor said my husband has diabetes and cannot eat high-sugar foods. I feel sad because I accidentally gave my husband high-sugar foods. Doctor, what fruits can people with diabetes eat?Doctor's answer:
Diabetics should eat fruits with relatively low sugar content, such as cherry tomatoes and cucumber fruits. Apples, pears, watermelons, and other fruits can also be consumed, but it is important to pay attention to the quantity and try to eat less, as even fruits with low sugar content can raise blood sugar levels. You should visit the endocrinology department of a local hospital for further tests, including C-peptide and insulin, to develop a specific treatment plan tailored to your condition, as well as the use of hypoglycemic drugs or insulin to control blood sugar levels within an ideal range.
