Patient's question:
Diabetes is very common now. Personally, I don't dislike sweet foods much, so I've always felt that diabetes is far away from me. I haven't paid much attention to this aspect of diabetes in daily life. Suddenly, my friend mentioned this, and everyone suggested that since I'm not young anymore, I should get checked for diabetes. I'd like to ask: what department should I go to for a diabetes check-up?Doctor's answer:
Now carefully check diabetes, which is a metabolic disease. You can follow up in the endocrinology department. It is mainly caused by insulin resistance or deficiency in the body, leading to high blood sugar, which can easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetic nephropathy, deafness, diabetic neuropathy, etc. Treatment requires a diabetic diet, low-salt, low-fat diet, regular exercise, taking hypoglycemic medication on time, and regular blood sugar testing.
