A diabetic patient can eat Eid cakes or sweets in general, but in certain proportions, and by following dietary guidelines. One of the common myths about diabetes is that it results from consuming too many sugary foods. In fact, sweets can affect your body but they do not cause diabetes. Diabetes is a health condition caused by high levels of sugar in the blood.
It is undeniable that sweets raise blood sugar levels if consumed in excess and can negatively affect overall health.
A diabetic patient can eat Eid cakes as a way of tasting, by eating a piece of cake with a piece of biscuit, a piece of Petit Four, and other strange ones, but he must get diabetes medications regularly.
