Patient's question:
Can our child with type 1 diabetes eat yam?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar. When blood sugar is severely high, the typical "three more, one less" symptoms appear. The diagnosis of diabetes is generally not difficult. It can be diagnosed if fasting blood glucose is greater than or equal to 7.0 millimoles per liter, and/or two hours after a meal blood glucose is greater than or equal to 11.1 millimoles per liter. It is recommended to improve the careful examination of fasting and two hours after a meal blood glucose, as well as glycated hemoglobin. Insulin treatment is required. Monitor the data closely and gradually increase the dosage.
