Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What are the ways to relieve high blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Hyperglycemia is generally diagnosed when pre-meal blood sugar is greater than 7.0 and post-meal blood sugar is greater than 11.1 millimoles per liter. Patients with diabetes should first control their diet, reducing the intake of staple foods made from rice and flour, and increasing the consumption of coarse grains and vegetables rich in dietary fiber. They should also reduce the intake of starchy foods. Starch and glucose are converted into glucose through human metabolism, which can raise blood sugar levels. Medications should then be used in conjunction to lower blood sugar.
