Diabetes patients can eat all kinds of food apart from refined sugar or carbohydrates like soft drinks, and cake, among others.
Diabetes patients can eat unripe plantains, but it is not recommended as a treatment or one of the food choices for diabetes.
What we recommend is not unripe plantain but any source of food that gives complex sugar, and complex carbohydrates.
