People with high blood pressure and diabetes need to pay attention to the following points in their diet:

First, patients with high blood pressure and diabetes need to eat three meals regularly a day and try to avoid missing any meal. For meals, try to distribute the staple food portions of the three meals according to 1/5, 2/5, and 2/5, and try to ensure that the interval between each meal is about 5-6 hours. Too short a time between meals can easily lead to high blood sugar levels, while too long a time can easily cause a hypoglycemic reaction, especially in patients taking insulin treatment.

Second, patients with high blood pressure and diabetes must strictly control the total calories in their staple foods to ensure a balanced intake of multiple nutrients. In addition to controlling cholesterol levels, you also need to strictly control salt intake, with no more than 5g of sodium per day.

Third, proper supplementation of high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, fish, poultry, dairy products, etc., can help ensure the patient’s body’s resistance. It is also necessary to increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. .
