Patient's question:
My mother is 68 years old this year. Recently, she was thoroughly examined in the hospital and found to have diabetes. Doctor, since my mother is a diabetic, what should she pay attention to in daily life? Are there any foods that diabetics cannot eat? What kind of food would be better for diabetics to eat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetic patients must pay attention to a low-salt, low-sugar, and low-fat diet when eating. They cannot eat foods high in sugar. For example, they cannot eat sugar, honey, or foods high in starch, because starch is mainly converted into glucose after being metabolized in the body. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to regular exercise. Diabetic patients can eat more vegetables and legumes, among other things.
