Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother has diabetes, her blood sugar is very high. It is said that there is some danger, and she needs to take insulin treatment. But besides that, we are not very clear about some taboos of diabetes, so I would like to ask what dietary precautions should be taken for diabetes on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
The diet for diabetic patients primarily focuses on controlling the total daily calorie intake. It is essential to adhere to a low-sodium, low-fat, light, and easily digestible diet. Consume more coarse grains such as buckwheat and oats, as well as staple foods like noodles, and some low-sugar fruits such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy greens. Maintain a balanced diet at all times and avoid sweet foods, high-sugar foods, and fried high-calorie foods. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
