Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for a year, but my blood sugar levels are often fluctuating high and low, and no matter what, I can't control it. At first, I didn't have to be particularly careful about what I ate, but now I no longer eat some things, yet my blood sugar is still unstable. What should I do if my diabetes is not well-controlled?Doctor's answer:
For patients with diabetes, it is necessary to practice diabetes-related techniques and also learn about nutrition, understanding the calorie content of various foods. Then, based on their own basic conditions, they should develop a dietary plan and adhere to it. Only by combining this with medication can stable blood sugar levels be ensured. Some diabetic patients experience unstable blood sugar again mainly because of poor dietary control.
