Patient's question:
Recently, I've often felt severe swelling in my lower limbs, and sometimes it's accompanied by dizziness. In addition to symptoms like nausea and vomiting, my whole body feels extremely weak. The day before yesterday, I underwent a thorough examination, and the results showed that I have diabetes. What dietary precautions should diabetes patients follow?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes requires controlled dieting. It is necessary to check the daily total calorie intake based on labor intensity and standard body weight, and allocate food accordingly. The calorie content of staple foods is generally the standard body weight divided by 4.8. The amount of fat is usually 0.8 divided by the standard body weight, and the protein intake is 1.0 divided by the standard body weight. It is recommended to consume one pack of milk daily, two ounces of lean meat, and digest one pound of vegetables.
