Patient's question:
Blurred vision, frequent urination, weight loss, excessive sleep, normal appetite, onset for 5 years, cause unknownDoctor's answer:
Hello! Blurred vision is likely caused by diabetic retinopathy, and weight loss is a common symptom of diabetes. It is recommended to control blood sugar levels to prevent diabetic complications. Diabetes itself is not, but its complications are: diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiopathy, diabetic eye disease, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot... To prevent complications, the only way is to fundamentally restore the blood sugar of diabetic patients to the same level as normal people. Otherwise, once complications occur, the consequences will be severe and difficult to treat. Diabetes medication treatment is lifelong. You currently have type 2 diabetes, which has traditionally been an internal medicine condition. Common treatment methods include dietary control, increased exercise, oral hypoglycemic drugs, and insulin use. However, none of the above internal medicine treatments can guarantee that all patients' blood sugar will return to normal levels or prevent the occurrence and progression of various diabetic complications. Currently, at the initial stage of type 2 diabetes, without severe complications, all indicators meet the criteria for a gastric bypass surgery to achieve a cure.
