Answer

Hello, diabetic patients can eat dried mandarins in moderation. The main treatment methods include dietary control, appropriate exercise, and the use of hypoglycemic drugs. In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat vegetables with a low glycemic index such as cucumbers, tomatoes, green vegetables, and celery, as well as fruits like oranges, kiwis, and green apples. Protein sources should be high-quality proteins such as lean meat, milk, and fish. It is best to choose whole grain staples such as corn flour, buckwheat flour, and oatmeal. Diabetic patients should avoid consuming various candies, sugar, honey, jam, preserved fruits, lotus root flour, and sweet desserts. To prevent complications (mainly atherosclerosis and high blood pressure), it is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of animal offal and animal fat foods.
