Patient's question:
Lost about 40 pounds in four months, and ketone acidosis was detected in a urine test.Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder syndrome caused by genetic factors, immune dysfunction, and others, affecting sugar, protein, fat, and other metabolic processes. Typical cases may exhibit symptoms such as polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss, known as the "three more, one less" symptoms. Long-term adherence to standardized treatment, including dietary control, moderate exercise, rational medication use, reducing fat intake, and controlling protein consumption, can significantly improve blood glucose tolerance. Avoid spicy foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement with multiple vitamins. Medications such as DiaBeta (Glibenclamide) and Metformin tablets are commonly prescribed. Insulin injections may be administered subcutaneously when necessary.
