Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is 57 years old this year, and her health is not particularly good because she got diabetes some years ago. I know that diabetics cannot eat sweet things, and I would like to ask, what kind of fruit is good for diabetics?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have diabetes, the most definitive check is elevated blood sugar, which can manifest as high fasting blood sugar, split fasting blood sugar, or high post-meal blood sugar (2 hours after eating). This requires controlled bowel movements—avoid sweet foods. You can have one piece of fruit daily, but too much can interfere with blood sugar. Fruits like dragon fruit and passion fruit are good choices. Additionally, do not stop taking your diabetes medication—stick with it and coordinate with activities and adjustments.
