Patient's question:
My cousin's mother-in-law recently feels very reluctant to drink water. She has increased her water intake significantly. The key is that she is also very hungry. She eats so much every day that she has lost weight instead of gaining it. My cousin took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said these are typical symptoms of diabetes. What should I pay attention to on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients should pay attention to dietary control, as it is very important for reducing blood sugar. They must not eat high-calorie foods such as youtiao, youbing, and fried potato chips. Starchy foods like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vermicelli should be consumed as little as possible. Do not drink or eat sugary foods, bananas, grapes, or jujubes. These fruits should not be eaten in excess. Diabetic patients should exercise for over an hour every day.
