Patient's question:
1992 onset, treated at Yanbian HospitalDoctor's answer:
Diabetes is a lifelong disease that requires lifelong treatment. Currently, medical technology has not yet reached a point where it can eradicate it. The main goal is to control blood sugar through various methods and delay the onset of complications. As long as blood sugar is well-controlled, people with diabetes can live as long as healthy individuals. Once a diabetes patient is diagnosed, they must receive standardized treatment. Fluctuations in blood sugar can cause damage to the body's organs and accelerate the occurrence of complications. The treatment of diabetes should be tailored to the individual circumstances of the patient. First, it is necessary to understand the patient's blood sugar levels, pancreatic function, and whether they have complications in order to develop a specific treatment plan. Avoid blind medication to prevent delaying the condition. The treatment of diabetes should focus on five aspects: medication, dietary therapy, exercise therapy, diabetes education, and blood sugar monitoring. If any one of these aspects is not properly addressed, it will affect the treatment. It is recommended to receive standardized treatment at a diabetes specialty hospital.
