Diabetes patients can eat sweet corn in moderation.
Diabetes patients need to pay special attention to diet management. Although sweet corn tastes sweet, its glycemic index (GI) is relatively low, belonging to medium GI foods. This means that the carbohydrates in sweet corn are converted to glucose slowly, and the impact on blood sugar is milder than other high GI foods. Therefore, diabetes patients can generally eat it.
However, it should be noted that even if it is a low GI food, excessive consumption can lead to high blood sugar, so it should be controlled. Patients can eat sweet corn as part of the diet, pay attention to other low GI foods, and maintain the overall balance of the diet.
