Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases caused by genetic and environmental factors, which is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. It is a common and frequent disease, and a worldwide public health problem that seriously threatens human health. As a chronic disease that requires long-term medication, diabetes and complications consume a lot of medical resources, seriously affecting people's quality of life and bringing a huge economic burden to the global health system. Therefore, more and more researchers have begun to study how to treat diabetes through diet. This article combines the three dietary methods of DASH diet, low GI diet and traditional Chinese medicine diet, analyzes their similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages, and draws the following conclusions: eating more whole grains, drinking more low-fat or skim milk, and reducing the amount of fat in the diet will be conducive to the control of diabetes. Diabetes can be controlled through a reasonable diet, which brings hope to diabetics.
