Patient's question:
My uncle went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with diabetes. The doctor recommended that my uncle take medication to treat it. However, after taking the medicine for more than half a year, my uncle still didn't get better. When he asked the doctor, the doctor said to focus on taking the medicine and asked why he couldn't have surgery. Can diabetic patients have surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uncle carefully checked and found that he had diabetes. After taking medication for a year, there hasn't been much significant improvement. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a re-examination of fasting blood sugar and glucose tolerance, etc. Under the guidance of a doctor, anesthesia insulin therapy or re-adjusting the type and dosage of hypoglycemic drugs can be considered. It is important to maintain a low-sugar diet at all times and control the intake of staple foods. Try to participate in outdoor activities as much as possible. Surgery is generally not considered. If blood sugar is well controlled, anesthesia insulin can stabilize the blood sugar level if necessary.
