Patient's question:
Previously, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results showed that I had diabetes, but it was in its early stages. During my illness, I have been drinking insulin, but to save my life better, I want to use insulin. Are you good at using insulin in my condition?Doctor's answer:
If diabetes is in its early stages, it is still better not to take insulin oral medication. Insulin is not suitable for every diabetic; it depends on your condition and how you recover. In a strict sense, insulin is not a drug but rather a physiological mechanism by which the body regulates blood sugar levels. Therefore, it may lead to what is referred to as "drug dependence." Additionally, patients undergoing insulin treatment must continuously practice balancing through monitoring data to adjust medication, diet, and activity levels, ensuring that body weight is kept within an appropriate range as much as possible.
