Patient's question:
Patient Age: Blood sugar was checked as 6.5 one year ago. Now it is 8.3.Doctor's answer:
Diabetes treatment must be based on dietary control and exercise therapy as prerequisites. Diabetics should avoid consuming sugar and sugary foods, reduce intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, moderately consume high-fiber and starchy foods, and adopt a pattern of eating small meals frequently. The choice of exercise should be guided by a doctor, and it is advisable to engage in full-body exercises, including walking and jogging. On this basis, appropriate insulin sensitizing drugs or other hypoglycemic medications should be used to achieve long-term and effective blood sugar control. However, if oral medications are ineffective, insulin should still be used appropriately. Eating more bitter melon has a good auxiliary effect in lowering blood sugar.
