Patient's question:
My family has a genetic predisposition to diabetes, and my body also dislikes sugar. One time when I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, I found that my fasting blood sugar was 16, post-breakfast was 14, post-lunch was 16, and post-dinner was 90. My usual diet is relatively heavy, and I also sleep a lot. The main symptoms are sometimes feeling dizzy, weak all over, and wanting to take a nap in the afternoon. What exactly is type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description: Type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes, is a disease that tends to develop after the age of 35-40, accounting for 90% of diabetes cases, which is quite high. In the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, it is usually controlled through oral hypoglycemic drugs or the use of insulin drugs, while also coordinating lifestyle measures, which can achieve better control results.
