Patient's question:
Your aunt has diabetes, and she has been overweight for a long time. Hello, how should diabetic patients diet?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, first of all, diabetic patients need to strictly control their diet, manage their weight, and actively use hypoglycemic medications to control blood sugar. Since the patient is currently quite obese, it is recommended to use oral metformin-like medications to control blood sugar while also reducing the patient's weight. However, it is still advised that the patient control their food intake and actively engage in physical exercise to bring their weight down to a proper range as soon as possible.
