Generally, the staple food of diabetic patients is mainly rice and noodles, but they should eat more whole grains such as oats, oatmeal, cornmeal, etc., because these foods contain more inorganic salts, vitamins, and are rich in dietary fiber. , Dietary fiber has the effect of reducing blood sugar and is beneficial to controlling blood sugar.

In addition to controlling total calories, the diet of diabetic patients also limits sugar and salt, which is difficult to arouse the appetite of diabetic patients, especially children. In response to this, a variety of sweeteners are produced on the market, such as stevia and sweet sugar, which do not produce heat and do not contain any nutrients.

The first condition for allowing patients to eat fruit is that blood sugar has been basically controlled. You can eat a small amount of oranges, apples, etc. Anyone who eats fruits should consider reducing the amount of staple food. Patients with unstable conditions and uncontrolled blood sugar should avoid fruits.
