Patient's question:
My uncle recently had a physical examination and found that his blood sugar was high. After further and more detailed tests at the hospital, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The doctor prescribed oral medication and advised him to be more active. My uncle has a habit of drinking honey, so can diabetic patients eat honey?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients cannot eat honey because the sugar content in honey is relatively high. In this case, drinking honey can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. Currently, they can only rely on medication to control blood sugar. Additionally, we should actively manage blood sugar through diet. If blood sugar is controlled to normal levels, the risk of complications will be significantly reduced. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
