Can diabetics have corn porridge for dinner?

is a common metabolic disease, patients need to control the daily intake of calories in the diet, corn porridge is the main ingredient, patients can drink dinner, but to control the intake or reduce the intake of other foods, to prevent blood sugar fluctuations. Because corn gruel has a high gelatinization degree and a long cooking time, maltose contained in it is a monosaccharide, which is easily absorbed by the intestine, so the glycemic index is high, and the patient will cause a rapid rise in blood sugar after eating, so it is necessary to strictly control the amount of food consumed.

Diabetic patients can appropriately increase the intake of foods containing dietary fiber components on a daily basis, which can delay the rise of blood sugar after meals.
