Patient's question:
My relative is a diabetic patient. Due to the weather, he has recently caught a cold but is hesitant to drink freely. Can diabetic patients take sugar-coated pills?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes can lead to multiple systemic risks due to absolute or relative insufficient insulin secretion and reduced insulin sensitivity in target tissue cells, resulting in a series of catabolic disorders involving proteins, fats, water, and electrolytes. Diabetic patients can eat sugar-coated tablets because the amount of sugar in them is extremely small. As long as they maintain a scientific and regular lifestyle, strictly control their diet, and engage in appropriate activities, they can keep their blood sugar levels within an ideal range for a long time without any interference.
