Patient's question:
I am 76 years old this year, and recently when I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out that I have diabetes. I am very worried about my health because I am already an elderly person, so this might make my condition worse. So, I want to know what I should do? How should I handle the diabetes check-up report?Doctor's answer:
If the blood sugar is not very high, there is no need to use hypoglycemic drugs. You can drink Panax notoginseng powder to adjust blood sugar. You can also eat bitter melon, which can help lower blood sugar. Patients with hypoglycemia, diabetes, and high blood sugar should not overeat, avoid too sweet or greasy foods, and avoid excessive obesity. It is important to exercise appropriately to keep fit and follow this dietary principle. If the blood sugar is very high, hypoglycemic drugs will be needed.
