Patient's question:
Doctor, I was admitted to the hospital for diabetes a few days ago. At that time, some friends of my father came to visit him. A friend gave my father two boxes of medicine. Today, my father said he wanted to bring it to eat because people with diabetes need to pay very close attention to their diet. Can people with diabetes take medicine?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to checking the ingredients of the medication. If the ingredients contain sugar, it cannot be consumed. Diabetic patients should still pay attention in daily life and actively take relevant hypoglycemic drugs under the doctor's advice to maintain stable blood sugar control, which can reduce the recurrence of complications. In addition, in daily diet, it is essential to adhere to a low-fat, low-salt, low-cholesterol, and low-sugar diet, and also engage in appropriate exercise.
