Can people with diabetes drink Cordyceps flower-infused water?
Disease description:
A friend gave me a package of Cordyceps flower (Cordyceps militaris), and I’d like to give it to my mother-in-law. However, she has diabetes. May I ask whether people with diabetes can drink water infused with Cordyceps flower?

People with diabetes can drink cordyceps flower-infused water. Since individuals with diabetes often have weakened physical constitutions, moderate consumption of cordyceps flower-infused water may help enhance their immune resistance and reduce urinary protein excretion. This can be beneficial for diabetic patients. In daily life, patients should maintain regular dietary habits and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.
