Patient's question:
My aunt recently had a thorough health check-up at her workplace and was found to have type 2 diabetes. She had never had this condition before. Now, I'd like to ask, what exactly does type 2 diabetes mean? Can this type of diabetes be cured? What are the treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes, clinically diagnosed due to various different causes, often associated with factors such as obesity, heredity across generations, dietary habits, etc. It is not easily resolved and generally requires appropriate hypoglycemic drug treatment under the guidance of a physician during face-to-face consultations. In the initial stages, oral medications can control it; it is also necessary to avoid high-sugar foods, properly control food intake, engage in appropriate exercise, and manage weight.
