Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia can drink black wolfberry water. As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, black wolfberry contains abundant vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients, and has relatively low sugar content. Its main benefits include lowering blood pressure, antioxidant effects, softening blood vessels, and enhancing immunity, all of which are beneficial for patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Drinking an appropriate amount of black wolfberry water will not negatively affect the condition of these patients; on the contrary, it may help improve related symptoms. However, it should be noted that black wolfberry water cannot replace medical treatment, and patients should still follow standard medical treatments as advised by their doctors. If there are any concerns or discomfort, it is recommended to promptly consult a doctor or nutritionist.
