A member asked:
My dad is a diabetic what should he do ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watch his sugar: He should exercise daily to lose weight. Fatty tissue increases Insulin resistance which makes it hard to lower glucose. He should cut down his carbohydrate intake and sugar intake. It is recommended that he follows up with a doctor to check his glucose and hga1c value and to start medications if he needs help because diabetes causes a lot of other problems if uncontrolled.
