Daily intake of total calories and nutrients should generally be based on their own weight and physical activity intensity. In addition, the intake of alcohol, salt, foods with high cholesterol, fat and sugar should be restricted. Clinically, 70% full per meal is appropriate, and excessive intake will increase blood sugar. At the same time, the food structure should be reasonable (diversified). Eating less at the next meal, removing snacks once or switching to foods with low glycemic index (GI) can control blood sugar.

Because for overweight patients with type 2 diabetes, only by reducing their weight by 5 ~ 10% can their blood sugar be significantly improved. In addition, choosing foods with low glycemic index is also helpful to reach the standard of blood sugar.

2, dietary fiber and vitamins should be sufficient.

High-cellulose food can slow down the decomposition and absorption of carbohydrates and help balance blood sugar. Because eating less will cause insufficient supply of vitamins and trace elements, it is advisable to eat more fresh vegetables. Fruit contains more fructose, so it is best to avoid eating it when blood sugar is not well controlled. It can be supplemented by oral multivitamin and mineral tablets (pills).

3. Self-relaxation and mood adjustment relaxation exercises

For example, take a deep breath and relax your muscles with relaxing music. It can help relieve stress and make hypoglycemic treatment more effective. Learning to adjust emotions and enhance self-efficacy (people's subjective judgment on whether they can successfully carry out a certain behavior), so as to overcome the bad mentality such as fear and negativity after illness, and also help to control blood sugar.

4. Blood sugar monitoring is equally important.

Because blood sugar monitoring is beneficial to diabetes control, especially 2 hours after meals, and blood sugar detection is more accurate than urine sugar detection. Urine glucose detection has many influencing factors and large errors, which is not as accurate as blood sugar and has no value for hypoglycemia. Carefully recording the daily changes of blood sugar value can prevent blood sugar from being too high or too low, help to formulate the best treatment plan and adjust the treatment procedure in time, so as to control the fasting and postprandial blood sugar to reach the standard, and reduce and slow down the occurrence and development of diabetic complications.
