Patient's question:
Your friend's father is already very old, and the problems with him are getting more and more. Just recently, when he went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, he was surprisingly diagnosed with diabetes. So now, your friend wants to understand how to manage diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a very common chronic disease nowadays. If you manage it properly, controlling your diet is sufficient. Since blood sugar levels can be regulated through external interventions, whether through medication or dietary control, as long as the blood sugar levels are kept under control, it won't harm the body. In daily diet, it's advisable to consume less sugary foods and reduce the intake of starchy foods as well. This way, you can control the intake of carbohydrates.
