Can diabetics eat palm sugar?

Patient's question:

I especially hate eating candy, but I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My friend brought me a lot of palm sugar, saying that palm sugar can be eaten by people with diabetes. I want to know if palm sugar can be eaten in large quantities by people with diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

First, diabetic patients should pay attention to eating less sugar and be mindful of a low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar diet. At the same time, people should also be aware of high-energy and high-starch foods.
