Diabetes treatment comes in four ways, including, a healthy diet, exercise, insulin and medicinal tablets to lower blood glucose, and its usually best to use some combination of the above.

Diabetics should eat fresh water fish including cá lóc (snakehead fish), cá rô (anabas), cá chạch (loach), cá trê (sheatfish) and cá bống (gudgeon).
