Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about a 9-year-old child who has been diagnosed with diabetes. Is it curable?Doctor's answer:
Type 1 diabetes is caused by severe damage to pancreatic β-cells. Characteristics: pancreatic β-cells are rapidly and severely destroyed, leading to a rapid and severe lack of insulin, requiring insulin injections to maintain life, and lifelong treatment. Currently, medical technology cannot cure type 1 diabetes. If the appropriate insulin formulation, dosage, and usage suitable for your condition are used, it can also help control blood sugar well.
