Patient's question:
My father has had diabetes for many years and has been taking blood sugar-lowering medication for a long time. Recently, my friend gave me a lot of propolis, and I think this is a great product. I want to make some for my father to eat. I would like to consult a doctor to see if diabetic patients can eat propolis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, propolis is a substance produced by bees during the process of collecting nectar. It contains a large amount of vitamins and amino acids. It is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine with the functions of moisturizing the skin, promoting muscle growth, anti-inflammatory, and promoting blood circulation. Diabetic patients can consume it, but they need to control their calorie intake according to their daily exercise intensity and regularly monitor blood sugar levels. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and coarse grains, engage in moderate exercise to enhance physical fitness, and wish you a speedy recovery.
