Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother has had diabetes for over three years. She doesn't take her medicine on time. She often eats vegetables and doesn't eat much meat. For breakfast, she drinks milk and eats buns, but drinking too much milk often causes her to feel dizzy again. I want to know if people with diabetes can drink milk?Doctor's answer:
You can drink low-fat milk or sugar-free pure milk in sufficient amounts, but you should not drink too much. The amount should be controlled to around 100ml per meal. Avoid drinking sweetened beverages to prevent blood sugar fluctuations. Pay attention to controlling your diet, consuming low-fat and low-sugar foods, and eating more vegetables and fruits. Maintain a regular schedule, avoid overexertion and staying up late. Engage in sufficient physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness and maintain a positive mindset. Regulate your physical and mental health, and keep yourself clean to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
