Hello,
Diabetes and tuberculosis together needs more aggressive diet management for faster healing.
First of all, strict control of diabetes is needed. So in diet, take no sugar, potato, rice, sweets et cetera. Regularly, get sugar levels check done and try to keep it near normal.
High protein diet like pulses, vegetables and eggs are recommended. Protein powder, multivitamin tablets are also beneficial. Special mention for vitamin D3 supplements. It should be done for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
