农历新年的脚步渐渐逼近，一些人已开始选购礼物送礼。若要送礼给糖尿病患者，在礼物方面该如何选择？本报《活得好》请伊丽沙白诺维娜医院内分泌医生黄振明提供建议。
糖尿病被称为“隐形疾病”，多数时候没有症状，内分泌医生黄振明说，随着血糖指数继续上升，患者可能出现更易疲劳、口渴、尿频等症状，病情严重时可能出现呼吸困难、脱水等症状。患者应控制饮食，以更好地控制血糖，让糖尿病受控。
若要送礼物给糖尿病患者，黄振明医生建议可以选择：
■无糖或低糖小吃，如无糖饼干、无糖巧克力等。
■适量新鲜水果：低升糖指数食物，如橘子、苹果、奇异果等；避免送红枣和龙眼等高糖类食物。
■茶：较健康的无糖绿茶或人参茶。
提醒！不建议送含糖量多的黄梨挞或年糕，也应避免送含糖饮料、酒精饮料、果汁等。即使是标榜不额外加糖的果汁，也不适合，因为水果大致上是健康的，但榨成果汁，即使没有额外添加糖，也可造成血糖飙升。
除了饮食类，医生也建议，不妨考虑送厨房小工具，如电子食物秤、空气炸锅等，以鼓励患者煮得更健康；也可考虑送阻力带、瑜伽垫和哑铃，以鼓励患者多运动。
