Patient's question:
Grandpa has always had diabetes and has been taking hypoglycemic drugs to treat it. Last year, Grandpa was diagnosed with early-stage liver cirrhosis. Now, Grandpa's diet is strictly interfered with. Everything he eats and drinks must be verified by the doctor before he can have it. But when it comes to fruits, he doesn't know what to eat.Doctor's answer:
Patients often ask doctors what they should eat and what they should avoid. When explaining these issues, it should not be overly absolute or unchanging. Generally, you should tell the patient that they should avoid sugary foods (except in cases of recurrent hypoglycemia). For diabetic patients, it is appropriate to have a moderate amount of fresh fruits, digestive vitamins. The calorie estimation of fruits should be included in the total calories. It is recommended to start with a very small amount and have fruits preferably on an empty stomach or between meals. Additionally, during the treatment of liver cirrhosis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must take digestive vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
