Patient's question:
My wife has had diabetes for 3 or 4 years and has been taking medication to lower her blood sugar. Fortunately, her blood sugar has been well-controlled, but she still avoids sweet foods. I want to ask the doctor if diabetic patients can drink Coke?Doctor's answer:
If it has been confirmed that you have diabetes, it is recommended to take oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin treatment in the long term. It is necessary to control blood sugar within the normal range. At the same time, you must strictly follow a diabetic diet, avoid sweet foods, and increase carbohydrate intake. Cola is a carbohydrate and also contains a large amount of sugar, so it is not recommended to consume it orally.
