Patient's question:
My father is 56 years old. He is generally fine, but he is a bit overweight. He loves eating a lot of desserts and similar foods, which directly led to him getting diabetes. He has been taking medication for treatment. Besides medication, what should a diabetic eat?Doctor's answer:
Eating too much sweet food can lead to elevated blood sugar levels, relieve pancreatic pressure, cause pancreatic function to decline, and result in diabetes. Obese individuals are prone to endocrine disorders, which are also causes of diabetes. It is necessary to take blood sugar-lowering medication on time to control blood sugar well. In daily life, it is essential to pay close attention to dietary control, eat less sweet food, and consume more low-glycemic index foods such as vegetables. Engage in sufficient physical activity.
