Ancient Chinese medicine called diabetes "diabetes", and Huangdi Neijing recorded: "... food is sweet and rich, fat makes people feel hot inside, and sweetness makes people full, so gas overflows and turns to quench their thirst." "Jing Yue Quan Shu" said: "Diabetes, the rich are sick, and the poor are few." Sun Simiao was the first pioneer in the world to put forward dietotherapy. He believes that drinking alcohol and limiting salt should be used cautiously to treat diabetes. In addition, the diet should not be too full, and it is appropriate to be light.

Summer is the best time to treat diabetic patients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the changes of blood sugar in human body are closely related to seasons. Blood sugar in winter is higher than that in spring and autumn, while blood sugar in summer is the lowest season in a year. At this time, diabetic patients can get twice the result with half the effort if they cooperate with diet therapy on the basis of routine treatment.
