Dr. Zhao Lianli
The condition described by the patient can lead to elevated blood glucose levels; therefore, close attention is essential. Patients with this condition should avoid foods high in sugar in their daily diet to prevent spikes in blood glucose concentration, which could exacerbate their condition. Active treatment is also crucial—primarily through antihyperglycemic medications—and dietary management should emphasize low-salt, low-fat principles.
