Patient's question:
Male, 68 years old. Discovered to have diabetes and is currently on medication, implementing dietary restrictions. Due to his gastritis, what should he pay attention to in his daily diet?Doctor's answer:
Your post-meal blood sugar control is still acceptable. The reason you just started using insulin may be due to high blood sugar during the onset of the disease, and using insulin can help pancreatic cells temporarily repair. This can contribute to the improvement of the condition.Diabetic patients need to control their diet and activity. In terms of diet, it should be based on coarse grains and reduce the intake of refined grains, but it doesn’t mean eating whole wheat rice, as this can put pressure on the digestive system. Eat in moderation at each meal, avoid excessive consumption of refined grains and noodles, as noodles can increase post-meal blood sugar.
For activity, light exercises like brisk walking are recommended.
