Family's Diabetes Linked to Unhealthy Diet: Doctor's Advice

Diabetes affects many, particularly those over 60. One family, all diagnosed, shared a common diet: heavy on fried rice and noodles, drenched in chili sauce and soy. Each meal was packed with sugar, lacking in vegetables and protein. This resulted in sky-high blood sugar levels and constant hunger, creating a vicious cycle.

Dr. Yang recommends three solutions: adjust the diet, be more active, and manage stress. Reduce carb intake, increase fiber and healthy fats, and incorporate exercise—strength training and cardio. Simple changes can break the cycle, potentially saving lives.
