Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients can consume small pumpkins but should control their portion size. Small pumpkins mainly contain carbohydrates, and excessive consumption may lead to elevated blood glucose levels. After eating small pumpkin, patients should subtract an equivalent amount of staple food (such as rice or flour products) from that meal. It is recommended that patients actively monitor their blood glucose after meals to maintain stable and appropriate blood sugar levels.
