Patient's question:
My uncle is not just suffering from high blood sugar and high blood pressure, but also has poor health in general. What should I do in this situation? I want to buy some supplements for him, but I don't know what he can eat. What should he avoid?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with hypertension and hyperglycemia should pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet in their daily meals. The daily salt intake should be less than 6 grams (which includes salt from pickled vegetables, various seasonings, and soy sauce). It is advisable to consume less high-sugar, high-fat, and high-cholesterol foods, control the total daily energy intake, and eat more fruits and vegetables. It is not recommended for patients with hypertension and hyperglycemia to consume excessive nutritional supplements or tonics.
