Patient's question:
Sister has been experiencing generalized edema and weight gain recently. She walks short of breath and looks unwell. I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it's a complication of diabetes, eye traffic inconvenience syndrome. I've never heard of this condition and don't know what to do. What treatments should she undergo?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described for your sister, it is considered that your sister may have diabetic nephropathy, and there is also a possibility of chronic heart failure. Currently, she also has relatively severe diabetic retinopathy, including occlusion of retinal arteries. This condition has a very poor prognosis. It is recommended to strictly control blood sugar levels, preferably keeping fasting blood glucose at 6.0 millimoles per liter. Additionally, medications such as Danshen Injection, which help stabilize circulation, should be used, along with oral low-dose aspirin.
