Patient's question:
My friend has had diabetes for several years, and recently, their condition has worsened, feeling some numbness in their feet. So, they want to know how long people with diabetes can live with foot numbness?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it can basically be confirmed that the condition is likely caused by diabetes. The blood sugar control has not been very good, so it is recommended to first improve blood sugar control and see if the symptoms improve. If there is no improvement, it will be necessary to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment.High blood sugar must be controlled because long-term high blood sugar not only harms various organs in the body but also leads to abnormal decomposition metabolism in patients. As a result, the probability of patients developing diseases such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic foot, and diabetic eye disease is greatly reduced.
Pay attention to exercise more in daily life. In terms of diet, eat more leafy green vegetables, lean meats, and plenty of white meat, such as chicken and fish. Fruits rich in pectin can be eaten in moderation, such as apples, peaches, and oranges.
