Patient's question:
I learned that my uncle was suddenly hospitalized yesterday. I am far away and unable to visit him. It is said that he has diabetes and high blood pressure. How can you prevent diabetes and high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The typical symptoms of diabetes are polyphagia, polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss, which are common in obese individuals. Dietary recommendations include consuming more grains, such as buckwheat noodles, oatmeal, cornmeal, and other staple foods, which contain vitamin B, various trace elements, and dietary fiber. Long-term consumption can help lower blood sugar and blood lipids; legumes and soy products, which are rich in protein, inorganic salts, and vitamins. Bitter melon, freeze-dried mulberry leaves, onions, mushrooms, grapefruits, and pumpkin can help lower blood sugar.
