Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What is the diabetic diet and what are the taboos?Doctor's answer:
Patients with diabetes need to control their blood sugar, so they should avoid high-calorie foods. In clinical diagnosis, all sweet foods are strictly prohibited, such as white sugar, brown sugar, chocolate, biscuits, and bread. These types of foods are generally not recommended for consumption. Additionally, sweet fruits should also be avoided, such as grapes, apples, and pears. These foods have very high sugar content, which can lower blood sugar levels, so they should not be eaten either.Moreover, it is not advisable for diabetic patients to drink soup, as soups are often highly refined and can easily lead to increased blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients can consume millet pancakes and general vegetable dishes, as these foods have low sugar content and are very helpful for blood sugar control.
