Patient's question:
Mother 55 has discovered diabetes for over three months and is currently taking hypoglycemic drugs (Glibenclamide tablets, Tang Bao Ping, Metformin). However, her blood sugar keeps rising, even up to 9 am. Sometimes elderly people experience neuro at night, sometimes they feel their heartbeat increases, and sometimes they don't feel it.Spiritually, how can my mother adjust this situation to stabilize her blood sugar? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients need oral hypoglycemic agents, but they also need to control their diet. The patient's dose is already very high. If the diet is also restricted but the blood sugar cannot be reduced to normal levels, hospitalization may be necessary for insulin adjustment. Diabetes can lead to various complications such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, kidney disease, retinopathy, and diabetic foot. Therefore, we must keep blood sugar levels under control.
