Patient's question:
In the past two years, my unit's health check revealed that my blood sugar has been above 7.0, and they said I have diabetes. I now only eat 2 two bowls of food per meal, and I cannot eat certain vegetables either, like apples and oranges, which have high sugar content and are even more restricted. Today, my friend told me that pears have a low sugar content and can be eaten. Can diabetic patients eat pears?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients need to pay close attention to dietary control and cannot eat foods high in sugar. Pomelos contain relatively little sugar, so if your current blood sugar levels are stable, you can eat pomelos in adequate amounts. However, you must closely monitor your blood sugar data to prevent fluctuations. It is essential to take your blood sugar-lowering medication on time and have regular blood sugar check-ups to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Engage in regular physical exercise and have periodic health check-ups at the hospital.
