Can people with diabetes drink lotus seed soup?
Disease description:
I have had diabetes for almost 5 years, and my immunity is not very good. I want to buy some Gorgon fruit (Euryale ferox) to make soup, but I wonder if people with diabetes can consume Gorgon fruit soup?

Diabetes patients can consume Euryale ferox seed soup, but should do so in moderation. As a food that is both edible and medicinal, Euryale ferox seeds possess multiple functions, including strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, nourishing the kidneys and consolidifying essence, and eliminating dampness to reduce leukorrhea. For diabetes patients, moderate consumption might help alleviate certain related symptoms. Euryale ferox seeds contain a certain amount of starch, which is broken down into glucose in the intestines; therefore, excessive consumption by diabetes patients should be avoided to prevent fluctuations in blood sugar levels. When consuming Euryale ferox seed soup, diabetic patients should simultaneously control their intake of other staple foods to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Patients with diabetes should be cautious and moderate in their diet and are advised to make dietary adjustments under the guidance of a qualified physician or nutritionist.
