Patient's question:
I am 35 years old this year. Two years ago, I was carefully diagnosed with diabetes. Now I have been taking care of my health. Recently, my wife said that eating oatmeal is nutritious and healthy, so I have been eating it every day. However, it is said that people with diabetes cannot eat oatmeal. Hello, can diabetics eat a lot of oatmeal?Doctor's answer:
You can eat sugar-free oatmeal, and try to avoid eating sugary oatmeal, because oatmeal is easily digested and absorbed after soaking, which can cause blood sugar fluctuations. The harm of blood sugar fluctuations is similar to that of high blood sugar. A diabetic's diet is very important. Fruits with too much sugar, such as bananas and apples, should be eaten in moderation if at all. Eat more high-fiber vegetables and coarse grains to increase bowel movements.
