Patient's question:
Dad is a diabetic, and he has fainted twice after forgetting to take insulin. I would like to consult a few times: is insulin necessary for diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Patients with diabetes need to determine how to receive insulin treatment based on their specific condition. Some individuals can decide to maintain treatment with oral hypoglycemic drugs based on the patient's specific circumstances. It is recommended to visit the diabetes department of a local public hospital to conduct relevant laboratory tests for diabetes to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the specific test results, under the guidance of a doctor, an appropriate treatment plan should be determined.
