Patient's question:
My relative has already reached the late stage of diabetes. He has had diabetes for over ten years and has always paid attention to his diet. He also self-administers insulin under anesthesia. He has always looked very thin, but unexpectedly, it has still progressed to the late stage. It is said that it has already spread to the lungs, with severe pulmonary edema. What should be done in the late stage of diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes treatment must be based on dietary control and activity therapy. Diabetic patients should avoid sugar and sugary foods, increase the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, consume sufficient high-fiber and starch foods, and eat less and more. On this basis, the use of appropriate insulin sensitizing drugs or other hypoglycemic drugs can achieve the goal of long-term effective blood sugar control. However, if oral medication is absolutely not understandable, insulin should be used correctly. Eating more bitter melon has a very good auxiliary hypoglycemic effect.
