Patient's question:
My mother was diagnosed with diabetes last year after an empty stomach blood sugar test showed high levels. Since then, she has been on a path of diabetes treatment that won't turn back. In addition to scheduled oral medications and irregular check-ups, she was told by the doctor to pay attention to her diet today. Since we know very little about it, we would like to consult on what should be noted in diabetic diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, having diabetes is a chronic condition, and you need to take medication. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to your diet. Diabetics cannot eat sugar, and all sugary foods should be avoided, as they can easily cause high blood sugar. The vegetables you eat should be low in sugar. After taking medication, you should also pay attention to exercise. Diabetic patients must exercise, as this can help lower blood sugar. Wishing you good health.
