Is there any difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes in what?

Patients often ask: How do I know whether I have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes? What’s the difference?

Can diabetics eat fruit?

As an extremely harmful and deceptive pseudoscientific conclusion, [diabetic patients cannot eat fruits] is widely circulated in the society. I once received a representative diabetic patient who has not touched fruits for more than ten years.

As a doctor, one must use this sword well to make and transmit scientific voices. Glycemic index (GI) Assuming that we organized all the food to take an examination, The test question is the ability of Read More …
