BY Ina Barton 2018-06-10For the elderly with diabetes, it is possible to eat a small amount of pumpkin, especially for some patients with diabetic nephropathy who receive a low-protein diet. Because pumpkin contains very little protein, it can replace part of the staple food, so as to reduce the total amount of protein. However, considering that it is a sugary food after all, and its health benefits cannot replace regular hypoglycemic drugs, and eating pumpkin every day will inevitably lead to fewer types of other foods to eat, and it will easily cause dietary imbalances after a long time. . Therefore, unrestricted consumption of large amounts of pumpkin, or self-proclaimed discontinuation of regular hypoglycemic drugs because of eating pumpkin, is not allowed.9
