Questions
My husband is overweight and due to work-related reasons, he often needs to entertain and has irregular eating habits. He is also unable to avoid excessive drinking. With a family history of diabetes, I am worried that he may develop the condition. I would particularly like to know how to prevent diabetes through diet in everyday life.

Hello, please eat according to the planned portion sizes and at regular intervals, avoiding any arbitrary changes. Reduce the consumption of fried, sautéed, crispy, and high-fat foods such as pork skin, chicken skin, and duck skin. It is recommended to use cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, cold dressing, stir-frying, roasting, braising, stewing, and pickling. The salt intake should be controlled at 6 grams or less to avoid being too salty and reduce the intake of high-cholesterol foods such as animal organs. Cooking should use vegetable oils. Long-term appropriate exercise, medication, and dietary control are all important measures for preventing diabetes.
