Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for a while. During my last health check-up, I also found that I have arteriosclerosis of the brain. The doctor advised me to pay more attention to my diet in daily life. I would like to ask you, what should I eat more and what should I eat less for diabetes and arteriosclerosis of the brain for better management?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can eat a lot of vegetables, and most green vegetables are fine. Pay attention to cooking methods; it's important to have less, like potatoes, which contain a lot of starch and should be eaten in moderation. Avoid sweets and greasy foods, and drink less porridge-like foods. You can consume plenty of eggs, milk, lean meat, fish, and shrimp for high-quality protein. Additionally, it's recommended to engage in at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily, such as running, ice skating, or jumping rope.
