Patient's question:
Uncle got diabetes, the doctor asked him to insist on anesthesia insulin. Are there any harms for diabetics to take insulin long-term?Doctor's answer:
Long-term insulin administration is harmless to patients. This is because humans can naturally excrete insulin, and insulin is the only hormone in the body that can lower blood sugar. Therefore, if one wants to lower blood sugar but has poor function and does not meet the conditions for oral medication, then insulin anesthesia must be used to lower blood sugar. The only drawback of long-term insulin anesthesia is that it may lead to weight gain in patients.
