Patient's question:
My mother-in-law is 65 years old this year. Two years ago, after a thorough examination, she was diagnosed with diabetes and has been taking medication to control it ever since. She often complains of dizziness and general discomfort. She has been going to the hospital every two years to get her medication. Hello, what medication is best for treating diabetes and has the best efficacy?Doctor's answer:
Patients with diabetes should take oral medications to adjust blood sugar levels. Commonly prescribed drugs include metformin, glyburide, and repaglinide, among others. If one medication can effectively control blood sugar within the ideal range, it is generally recommended to use it alone. In daily life, you can consume more foods such as winter melon, pears, kelp, mushrooms, broccoli, and carrots to prevent constipation. Avoid getting angry and reduce the intake of sugary foods.
