Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with diabetes and myocardial bridging can drink green tea, but excessive consumption should be avoided, as it may cause insomnia and disrupt endocrine function, potentially worsening the condition. Diabetic patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations and blood glucose monitoring. They should strictly adhere to their physician’s instructions regarding medication use and must not arbitrarily adjust the frequency or dosage of their medications.
