Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my uncle has diabetes, which was discovered a few days ago. I learned from the doctor that people with diabetes need to control their blood sugar, but he didn't tell me how to do it. So I wanted to ask you, how should diabetic patients control their blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a common chronic disease, and its onset is related to intergenerational genetic factors, dietary habits, and external environments. If diagnosed with diabetes, if blood sugar levels are not very high, it can be managed initially by improving lifestyle and increasing physical activity to lower blood sugar to normal levels. However, if these methods are not effective, additional hypoglycemic medications will be needed on the basis of controlling diet and strengthening exercise.
