Good day, everyone. I'm a South African male, 50 years old, and have been teaching English in China since 2024. I was diagnosed in January 2025 and spent a week in a hospital here in China because my diabetes was completely out of control. I was getting hungry every 2-3 hours after meals and had a dry mouth. Anyway, they put me on new medications, and it has been changed twice by another hospital. I am coping better with my diabetes now. However, I still have a dry mouth and can't seem to find a solution besides people telling me to control my blood sugar levels. I eat from the college canteen because I don't cook for myself. I'm trying to cook scrambled eggs for breakfast now to avoid cereal, which spikes my blood sugar. If you have any suggestions on meals I can eat for lunch and dinner here in China, let me know please.
