As we age, we need to pay more attention to the occurrence of diabetes. The early symptoms of diabetes are not obvious, and it takes a long time for corresponding symptoms to appear. Should diabetes patients stay away from sweets and fruits?
【Diabetes and staying away from sweets and fruits】
Definitely not!
Diabetes patients do not have any absolute forbidden foods as long as they control their total calorie intake and have a balanced diet.
Under good blood sugar control, as long as the total calorie intake is properly controlled, these can still be consumed in moderation. But remember not to eat too much! They can be consumed as snacks, between regular meals.
Dr. Guo Qiyu suggests that "diabetic" patients can choose fruits with a lower glycemic index (GI < 55), such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, cantaloupes, peaches, etc.
【What are the symptoms of diabetes?】
1. Eye fatigue and decreased vision are early symptoms.
2. Hunger and increased appetite.
3. Numbness and tremors in hands and feet are early symptoms.
4. Fatigue, high blood pressure, and pale urine.
5. Thirst and frequent urination.
6. Weight loss: Middle-aged people's bodies gradually become obese, and their appetite is normal. Once rapid weight loss is noticed, it should be considered whether diabetes has occurred. Obesity increases the demand for insulin, leading to a rapid deterioration of the condition.
