Patient's question:
My aunt has had diabetes for two months. I heard that not all diabetes patients need to inject insulin. I want to know which type of diabetes requires insulin?Doctor's answer:
The indications for insulin use are absolute lack of pancreatic function. Currently, it is mainly used in two forms. Firstly, for type 1 diabetes with complete lack of pancreatic function, insulin must be used. Secondly, if the history of type 2 diabetes is long and the pancreatic function has already been weakened, it is also necessary to use insulin in conjunction with insulin sensitizers to control blood sugar. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene. Avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance.
