Whether you've had diabetes for 5, 10 or 20 years, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to look for a doctor. I am Shi Yuchun, the director of a tertiary public hospital in Beijing, and I have always adhered to the principle of not prescribing expensive medicines, but only the right medicines. I hope that the content I write can be seen by those who need it, and as long as my content can help someone, I feel that my efforts are worth it!

I have a patient with a fasting blood sugar of more than 15 points, dry mouth, thirst, fatigue tolerance, urinating heavily, yellowish, and foamy. And I feel very tired every day, and I don't sleep well at night.

So while prescribing medicine for him, I asked him to be very strict in terms of diet, and I told him that he must eat less or try not to eat the following common foods.

For example, white rice, a variety of pasta made from refined white flour, sugar, and most fruits such as sweets, honey, and syrup.

Since these foods will hardly appear in his diet in the future, there will have to be food substitutes for them. I told him that he could eat brown rice or multigrain rice, which is not only nutritious and delicious, but also rich in dietary fiber, low in sugar and calories, which can not only increase satiety, but also cause large fluctuations in blood sugar, so it is suitable for diabetics, but it should also eat multigrain rice in moderation.

At the same time, he can also choose soba noodles, which are made from whole grains, instead of ordinary white flour products. Also, since most fruits contain sugar, I told him to only eat small amounts of kiwi and apples to satisfy fruit cravings.

Adherence to this diet is not an easy task and requires strong self-control and a persistent pursuit of healthy living. In this way, he not only lowered his blood sugar, but also reduced the number of episodes of some of his complications, while also preventing some other complications from occurring.
