What are the reasons for hospitalization in diabetes?

Patient's question:

Why do diabetic patients have to be hospitalized for treatment? My family has a close relative who has had diabetes for over 20 years, and he knows many things himself, but why does the doctor still recommend that he be hospitalized for treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. If it cannot be well-controlled, it will lead to widespread damage to blood vessels and nerves. Currently, there is no cure for diabetes, and the goal of treatment is to control the progression of the disease and prevent complications. Therefore, if diabetes occurs again, it is best to be hospitalized for treatment so that we can monitor your data and blood sugar levels to implement treatment. This will make it easier for us to administer medication and provide care.
