Question
A diabetic patient with a five-year history has been diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy in December last year. Subsequently, from December to February, they experienced recurring colds and fever. They hope to understand the reasons behind this.
Answer
Diabetes treatment should be based on dietary control and exercise therapy. Diabetic patients should avoid consuming sugar and sugary foods, reduce intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and consume moderate amounts of high-fiber and starch-rich foods, while eating small meals more frequently. Exercise should be conducted under medical guidance, with a preference for full-body activities such as walking and jogging. On this basis, the use of appropriate insulin sensitizers or other hypoglycemic drugs is recommended to effectively control blood sugar levels in the long term.
