Question
The child’s physical examination showed elevated blood sugar levels, but there were no obvious symptoms. Historical data shows that the blood sugar index has fluctuated slightly over the years. Do you need to start medication immediately?
Answer
Generally, if blood sugar levels are slightly elevated, dietary adjustments can be made first, such as consuming foods like onions, bamboo shoots, and bitter melon. If dietary control is not effective, medication may be considered. For pediatric diabetes, due to the diverse causes, once diagnosed, treatment should be timely and in coordination with the doctor, and good hygiene habits should be maintained. Parents should avoid their children’s picky eating in daily life and ensure a balanced diet.
