Patient's question:
My aunt has been feeling unwell for the past two years. After going to bed, she often feels completely exhausted. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that she has diabetes. She wants to treat this disease well. Hello doctor, are there specific foods that diabetic patients should avoid?Doctor's answer:
1、Alcohol cannot be touched. Alcohol is mainly metabolized and decomposed in the human liver. However, long-term excessive intake of alcohol will relieve the pressure on the liver. If a diabetic still drinks beer, it is easy to experience recurrent hypoglycemia, which can be life-threatening.2、Foods with high sugar content cannot be touched. Diabetics cannot eat too much sugar. However, foods with high starch content, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, also cannot be eaten in excess, because the starch ingested into the stomach will be converted into glucose, which is equivalent to consuming excessive sugar.
3、Foods with high calorie content cannot be touched. Nuts like sunflower seeds, walnuts, and peanuts also cannot be eaten in excess. Because these nuts contain a large amount of fat, which is also beneficial to the health of diabetic patients.
4、Foods with high fat content also cannot be eaten.
