Diabetic patients can eat red dates, but need to control the intake. Red dates contain dietary fiber, vitamin E, vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron and other nutrients, which can play the role of supplementing the body’s nutritional needs. However, the sugar content of jujube is high, and diabetic patients need to control their intake when eating jujube, so as not to cause excessive fluctuation of blood sugar, or lead to obesity caused by excessive calories. In daily life, diabetic patients should maintain a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet, and avoid eating animal offal, fried food, fatty meat, milk tea, cakes and other high-sugar, high-fat food, to help maintain stable blood sugar. Patients diagnosed with diabetes should actively cooperate with their doctors for treatment.
