Dr. Clove, can I drink these?
- Coffee: Yes, But pay attention to the amount of sugar and milk. Black coffee may cause a transient increase in blood sugar, Diabetics can also drink. Honey: Limit the amount. It is the same as drinking ordinary sugary drinks or sugar water. All need to limit drinking. The key is to observe the long-term blood sugar. Alcohol: Not recommended. Especially if you are still taking sulfonylureas (the trade name is generally Glex XX), taking them together is easy to induce hypoglycemia.

Sugar is high, sugar rises quickly, or fruit is better. Drink what tea? There is nothing specially recommended. Special reminder must not be fooled by so-and-so hypoglycemic tea. Should I drink what? Plain boiled water is the best. Special reminder, take medicine must use plain boiled water.
Dr. Clove, can I eat these staple foods?
First of all, we recommend dry rice. We recommend steamed bread for those who are used to eating pasta.
- White rice porridge: its sugar index is relatively high, because absorption is better, blood sugar rises faster after meals, and the concentration of each cooking is not well controlled, the total calorie intake is not well controlled. Noodles: the situation is similar to porridge. Coarse cereal porridge, coarse cereal rice, coarse cereal steamed bread: dietary fiber is mostly a good aspect; However, it is also starch, which does not mean that you can eat more coarse cereals than refined rice flour, and the same amount needs to be controlled. Steamed stuffed bun: breakfast can be eaten with vegetable bags. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, melons, sweet potatoes, lotus roots…: All kinds of tuber foods because of high starch content, obviously raising blood sugar, so if you eat after, rice should be eaten less.

Can I eat some [sugar-free] foods when I am not full? -The so-called “sugar-free” actually means “no sugar added”, that is, no white granulated sugar and other raw materials are added in the processing process, but the intake will still cause the blood sugar to rise, so I can’t see these two words and eat them with confidence. Can balsam pear reduce blood sugar? -Momordica charantia contains more water and less carbohydrate, It has a low glycemic index and contains dietary fiber, vitamins and trace elements necessary for the human body.
