Chapter 151: Well Controlled

Princess Duan Ning was sitting in a chariot when she came out of the main courtyard. She couldn't walk. What she recalled in her mind was what her mother-in-law said about the generations of the Yuan family and which of her married aunts had recovered from some illness. At first,

I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, many people died. After asking secretly, I found that before I fell ill, I was thirsty and went to the clean room more often.

When they returned to Qiu Yiyuan, Princess Duan Ning was helped into the room. Doctor Fang had already arrived. He was shocked when he saw Princess Duan Ning's appearance and hurriedly went up to check her pulse.

There is nothing wrong with this pulse, it’s just that he was frightened. “What kind of fright did the princess have?”

"Mr. Fang, have you ever heard of diabetes mellitus?" Princess Duan Ning asked anxiously.

Doctor Fang was stunned for a moment, then looked serious, "Why would the princess ask about this disease?"

"Doctor Fang know?" Princess Duan Ning asked with a glimmer of hope, "Doctor Fang possibly cure diabetes?"

Doctor Fang shook his head solemnly, "This disease cannot be cured."

Princess Duan Ning's face turned pale. She thought it was a trivial matter, but how could it suddenly turn into an incurable disease?

Princess Duan Ning drank two cups of tea before she regained her composure, "I'd like to ask Dr. Fang to prescribe a prescription that can control the condition."

Doctor Fang pursed his lips tightly and replied after a few breaths, "The lower official is incompetent and the diabetes is currently uncontrollable."

Princess Duan Ning said in disbelief. When she thought of Chen Xiuyan's words, the scene of Chen Xiuyan of Famen Temple treating the young master of Duke Rongguo's mansion popped up in her mind. So she was even more powerful than the imperial doctor?

After seeing off Dr. Fang, Princess Duan Ning immediately went out to the Taifu Mansion, where she wanted to invite Chen Xiuyan in person.

Chen Xiuyan had just entered the Taifu Mansion and counted the gifts sent by Princess Duan Ning. As soon as the gifts were put into the warehouse, the housewife hurriedly came and said that Princess Duan Ning was here.

Chen Xiuyan went to the main room, where Princess Duan Ning was walking back and forth in the room, looking anxious.

"Xiuyan, I was scared today. I didn't expect Ripple's illness to be so serious. Now that I have come to my senses, I can't wait for a moment. Can you come back with me to help control Ripple's illness?" Princess Duan Ning pulled her.

Chen Xiuyan's hands and eyes were still moist.

When everyone came to visit, there was no reason for Chen Xiuyan to refuse, so she followed Princess Duan Ning to Yuan Mansion again.

On the way, Princess Duan Ning told the story of generations of aunts from the Yuan family, "Xiu Yan, I only found out after asking my mother-in-law that the Yuan family has this disease. Will my Lianyi be fine?"

"Is this disease transmitted from female to male?" Princess Duan Ning also has a son, but she still wants to ask clearly.

"This disease does not distinguish between men and women." Chen Xiuyan replied, "It's just that men are less likely to have a sweet tooth, and personal constitutions are different, so not everyone will inherit it."

When Chen Xiuyan entered Yuan Mansion, Princess Duan Ning led the people directly to Lianyi Residence where Yuan Lianyi lived. When she entered the outer room of the boudoir, she saw Yuan Lianyi happily eating cakes and drinking sweet water.

Chen Xiuyan frowned slightly. Princess Duan Ning thought that the disease was incurable and fatal, so she immediately asked the maid to collect all the things, not forgetting to take away the half piece left by Yuan Lianyi.

"Mother, I'm hungry." Yuan Lianyi couldn't believe it and shouted sadly, "How could you take everything away? What if I starve to death?"

"Lianyi, be obedient." Princess Duan Ning sat down to comfort her daughter, "Please help me take a look at Xiuyan."

"The most important thing about this disease is self-discipline." Chen Xiuyan sat down and said seriously, "If you can't touch sweets, don't touch them. If you continue to eat them, the condition will worsen. Whenever other symptoms occur, it will be life-threatening."

Princess Duan Ning's eyes instantly turned red, but she controlled herself from crying in front of her daughter, "I won't let her eat sweets anymore."

"Fruits that contain fructose, such as apples, can still be eaten, but foods with added sugar must be avoided. Usually, you need to eat both refined and coarse grains as staple food. It is not good to eat grains all the time."

"I will list some recipes that can and cannot be eaten." After Chen Xiuyan said this, Princess Duan Ning sent someone to serve the pen and ink.

"I'll come early tomorrow morning. Miss Yuan doesn't want to have breakfast before I come." Now Princess Duan Ning listened to everything Chen Xiuyan said.

"Mother, you can't eat this, you can't eat that, what's the point." Yuan Lianyi said angrily, "And where can she get medical treatment? It's better to ask the imperial doctor to come."

Princess Duan Ning took her daughter into the inner room. Chen Xiuyan was writing quietly outside. Soon there was a sound of gasping in the room, and then she burst into tears.

After Chen Xiuyan finished writing, the mother and daughter also came out of the inner room. It looked like they had cried, and Yuan Lianyi had even changed her clothes.

"Really, will he really die?" Yuan Lianyi asked fearfully.

"No matter how unscrupulous it is, it will happen." Chen Xiuyan did not say any words of comfort. Life-threatening matters cannot be ignored, "But if you can exercise self-discipline, it will not be a problem like a normal person."

Chen Xiuyan gave the recipe to Princess Duan Ning, and did not forget to explain, "This disease requires eating less and frequent meals. Eat some when you are hungry, but not full when you eat."

"I'll start eating the food on the recipe tonight." After Chen Xiuyan explained, Princess Duan Ning personally escorted her back to the Taifu Mansion.

The next morning, Chen Xiuyan got up early and went to Yuanfu. She tested Yuan Lianyi's fasting blood sugar level, which was 6.8. This value was quite good.

For breakfast, Yuan Lianyi drank a bowl of unsweetened soy milk, a steamed bun with 2-he noodles, and then ate two pieces of apples. This amount was less than half of Yuan Lianyi's usual breakfast. She was already fat, so she ate so little at once.

Still not used to it.

An hour later, Chen Xiuyan tested Yuan Lianyi's blood sugar again, and the value was 10.

Although the blood sugar is higher than that of normal people, it has not yet reached the blood sugar of diabetics. Yesterday’s data was so high, firstly because I just ate something, and secondly, because the food I ate was high in sugar.

Chen Xiuyan stayed in Yuan Mansion that day, observing Yuan Lianyi's blood sugar for a day, and found that although her blood sugar was high, it was not very serious. If she tried to control it with self-discipline, it was not certain that she could return to the original normal level.

Yuan Lianyi found that although she ate less every meal, she could eat five meals a day without going hungry, but it was still acceptable. It was just that she was a little sad that she couldn't eat her favorite pastries and sweet water, but compared with her life

, taboos are easier.

Yuan Lianyi's blood sugar level does not require medication yet, so Chen Xiuyan asked her to discipline herself for a while, and she would come to visit her after a while.

There is no advanced equipment in this era. The most basic blood glucose meter, test strips and batteries in Chen Xiuyan's space are limited. Yuan Lianyi may be the only one who can use them.

On February 18th, when the Spring Festival was over, Chen Xiuyan went to pick up Luo Wenqian and the others. Compared with the provincial examination, more people came out this time sneezing, sniffling, and were all cold.

Luo Wenqian and Wang Yajie were not immune and suffered some cold. Fortunately, they did not have fever during the spring period. However, they still developed fever after returning home, and it took a week to get better.
