Patient's question:
Recently, my best friend's child had a diabetes outbreak. I also consulted a doctor at the hospital. The doctor advised my best friend to pay attention to daily living habits, rest well, and actively cooperate with the treatment. My best friend wants to ask what should be noted in terms of diet, and what should be paid attention to for children with diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Children with diabetes need to enjoy a diet that supports their growth and development while maintaining stable blood sugar levels within the normal range. Eat small, frequent meals at regular intervals, and keep a detailed record of bowel movements. Increase the intake of starchy foods and sugary foods, but avoid consuming them alone. Focus on nutritional balance. Avoid or limit foods that lower blood lipids, such as lard, butter, and fatty meats. Aerobic exercises like walking, running, climbing stairs, ice skating, singing, dancing, and cycling are beneficial for children.
