Patient's question:
In October, there were 3 more and 1 less symptoms. In November, I went to the hospital for examination and tests. Fasting blood sugar was 17, post-meal blood sugar was 33. Hospitalized for 20 days, received 3 insulin injections per day, blood sugar controlled at around 4 in the morning and over 7 in the evening.Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is generally caused by issues such as genetic factors and immune system disorders, leading to the decline in pancreatic function. The clinical manifestations are typically "three more and one less," which means increased thirst, hunger, urination, and weight loss. If complications occur, symptoms like edema or high blood pressure may appear. Diagnosis can be conducted through methods such as glycated hemoglobin tests, fasting blood glucose tests, and oral glucose tolerance tests. Currently, there is no medication that can cure diabetes, and it requires long-term treatment. Generally, oral insulin secretagogues, biguanides, and AGIs are used to control blood sugar. For advanced diabetes, insulin is typically administered, and dietary control along with regular exercise is also necessary. Long-term monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential.
