Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband is just 47 years old this year, but his health condition is not very good. He suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes. I would like to ask, can patients with high blood pressure and diabetes eat pumpkin?Doctor's answer:
For patients with hypertension and diabetes, it is appropriate to eat a moderate amount of pumpkin, but be mindful not to overeat. Overconsumption may cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Patients must take their medications regularly under the guidance of a doctor to control blood pressure and blood sugar. Additionally, it is essential to maintain a light diet and avoid extremely cold, spicy, greasy foods, as well as foods high in cholesterol.
