“She Rarely Ate Sweets”-But Still Got Diabetes

Her husband couldn’t believe it. He asked the physicians, in tears, how his wife, who rarely ate sweets, could have been so seriously ill.

Following an examination of her daily routine, medical professionals found that while Ms. Luong avoided sugary snacks, her favorite foods caused her blood sugar levels to rise noticeably:

1. Eggplant (Cooked with Oil and Seasonings)

Eggplant is generally seen a nutritious diet because it has no fat or cholesterol and provides 1000 mg of protein, 15 mg of calcium, 400 mcg of iron, 1.5 g of fiber, 34 mg of phosphorus, 10 mcg of carotene, 15 mg of vitamin C, 600 mg of vitamin PP, and 100 mcg of vitamin B2.

Ms. Luong, however, frequently cooked eggplant with many herbs and oil. She weighed around 65 kilograms, which is considered overweight, even though she was only 1.5 meters tall. The condition exacerbated her blood sugar levels and hampered her metabolism when combined with her high-fat diet.

2. White Cauliflower (Stir-Fried in Lard)
