Patient's question:
My partner often eats dinner and drinks beer outside due to training reasons. Recently, he was diagnosed with diabetes at the hospital, but his blood sugar levels have not been well-controlled. We are very worried, so I would like to consult a doctor about what precautions should be taken when blood sugar control is poor in diabetes?Doctor's answer:
For diabetic patients to achieve good blood sugar control, they should focus on the most basic treatment, which is strict dietary control and appropriate physical activity. It is recommended to adopt a meal schedule, ensuring that each meal contains at least 100 grams of staple food. Avoid high-calorie foods, and limit the intake of starchy foods such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vermicelli. Engage in at least one hour of physical activity daily. Combining these measures with diabetes medications will yield excellent results.
