Patient's question:
Diabetes for 12 yearsDoctor's answer:
Hello: The effect of Jin Shui Bao varies depending on the patient's condition. It is recommended to adopt a comprehensive treatment approach and avoid indiscriminate medication.If a diabetic patient has microalbuminuria in the urine, it may indicate diabetic nephropathy. The treatment suggestion is intensive insulin therapy to control blood sugar within an ideal range—strictly managing blood sugar without causing kidney damage. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and enema therapy are required. Of course, each patient's condition is unique, so treatment must be personalized.
In summary, diabetes damages large blood vessels, leading to complications such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and diabetic foot. Microvascular complications include diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy. Once complications arise, the condition is already severe. As the saying goes, "Diabetes itself is not, but its complications are." The complications of diabetes develop gradually and subtly.
While chronic complications are frightening, they can be well-controlled with proper treatment. It is recommended to seek comprehensive treatment at a specialized diabetes hospital rather than relying solely on oral hypoglycemic drugs to manage the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
