Patient's question:
My son is slightly overweight and has a very good appetite. Recently, he has experienced some symptoms such as decreased appetite, fatigue, and recurring headaches. He went to the hospital for blood tests and other examinations, and the results showed diabetes. What should be paid attention to in terms of diet for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in terms of treatment, it is first necessary to strictly control the diet. This is the same as for adult diabetes. Children should follow the dietary requirements prescribed by their doctor, eating at regular intervals and in fixed quantities, including staple foods, side dishes (eggs, meat, etc.), snacks, etc., to control the excessive rise in blood sugar after eating.
