Patient's question:
My grandfather has always had symptoms of diabetes. Every day, he tries to only eat millet porridge for dinner, some vegetables, and rarely eats greasy food. Moreover, he dare not eat too many apples or pear. As soon as he eats a little food with sugar, his blood sugar will drop. So, what fruits are good for diabetic patients?Doctor's answer:
People with diabetes must strictly control their fruit intake. Some fruits are relatively rich in nutrients but also contain a high amount of sugar, especially watermelon, pineapple, lychees, grapes, and raisins. These fruits contain relatively high levels of sugar and should be consumed in moderation. People with diabetes can eat some grapefruits, as well as cucumbers and tomatoes, which contain relatively low levels of sugar.
