Patient's question:
Can people with diabetes not drink congee? My husband has diabetes, and after I made him a bowl of congee today, he seemed to have body pain, was it the congee that caused it? Can people with diabetes not eat congee?Doctor's answer:
For diabetic patients, it is best not to drink porridge because it is easily digested, which can easily lead to a sudden drop in blood sugar. Diabetic patients should preferably eat solid or semi-solid foods, as this promotes more stable digestion and helps maintain relatively stable blood sugar levels. Additionally, we must insist on taking hypoglycemic medication every day. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
