Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well lately, like I'm very thirsty. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out I have type 2 diabetes. The doctor told me to come back and take my medicine on time, and pay more attention to controlling blood sugar in my daily diet. If complications arise, it will be troublesome. What are the complications of type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to control diet when diagnosed with diabetes, along with appropriate exercise and medication. Proper blood sugar management will definitely prevent early reoccurrence of complications. If control is poor, complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, vision loss, and foot ulcers may reappear. Therefore, it is crucial to strictly follow the doctor's advice in the early stages. If medication is ineffective, it is recommended to switch to insulin early, as it causes less harm to the body. I hope this helps you.
