Patient's question:
My diabetes has been with me for over ten years. I have been relying on medication to control my blood sugar levels, but it has never been fully cured, causing me great suffering. So, Doctor, can people with diabetes eat walnuts?Doctor's answer:
With diabetes, there are indeed many dietary restrictions. For example, you cannot eat overly sweet foods or foods high in calories. It is best to maintain a bland diet. If you have diabetes, you can eat walnuts, which pose no interference with your diabetes and you don't need to worry. Pay attention to protein intake, as sufficient protein in the diet can increase the risk of diabetic nephropathy. You can eat low-calorie foods like cucumber and bitter melon. Consume more whole grains, with carbohydrates accounting for about 55%-60% of total calories under the condition of controlling total calorie intake. Be mindful of high calcium and low phosphorus. At least have three bowel movements a day, and they should be on a fixed schedule and in fixed quantities, with a 4-5 hour interval between meals. Diabetics should choose bland foods with low oil and low salt.
