Patient's question:
Male, 68 years old. Found to have diabetes and is currently on medication, implementing dietary restrictions. Since he has gastritis, what should he pay attention to in his daily diet?Doctor's answer:
Your post-meal blood sugar control is still okay. The reason you just started using insulin may be due to high blood sugar during the onset of the disease. Using insulin can help pancreatic cells temporarily repair, which is beneficial for improving the condition.Diabetic patients need to control their diet and activity. In terms of diet, it should be based on coarse grains, with less refined grains, but it doesn’t mean eating whole wheat rice, as this would put pressure on the gastrointestinal tract. 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.
