Patient's question:
Mother-in-law went to the hospital a few days ago for a thorough examination. The doctor carefully checked and said she suffered from diabetes. I would like to ask how diabetics should pay attention to their diet?Doctor's answer:
For diabetics, medication, diet, and exercise are key to controlling blood sugar. Among these, daily diet is often the main cause of blood sugar fluctuations. Excessive calorie intake can lead to blood sugar drops. In terms of diet for diabetes, pay attention to: 1. Increasing protein in staple foods, such as noodles and dumplings, which are also low-glycemic index foods. Adding acidic substances after boiling can reduce the overall glycemic index of the meal. Vinegar can be added to side dishes.
