Patient's question:
I noticed that quite a few of my friends have high blood sugar and are at risk of developing diabetes. How did diabetes come about? Is there any way to prevent diabetes? Do I need to avoid certain foods?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes often involves insulin resistance, impaired glucose utilization in peripheral tissues, or the production of insulin antibodies, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes, on the other hand, is characterized by an absolute lack of insulin, resulting from insufficient insulin production by pancreatic beta cells. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, there are certain differences. If a person has diabetes, they must follow a strictly low-sugar, low-calorie diet. Dietary control is the foundation of diabetes treatment.
