Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for several years and have been very careful about my diet. However, recently I have been feeling constantly tired, dizzy, and irritable, often sweating profusely, and also having trouble sleeping at night. After consulting a doctor, it was said that the cause is a lack of calcium. Can diabetic patients supplement with calcium?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can supplement calcium, which has no impact on blood sugar fluctuations. Diabetic patients must pay close attention to keeping blood sugar fluctuations within the normal range and actively adhere to taking medication on time. It is important to develop good dietary habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as greasy foods, and avoid foods with high sugar content. Ensure you get sufficient sleep every day, engage in regular physical activity, and exercise frequently, as this is very important for stabilizing blood sugar.
