Patient's question:
My grandfather is 68 years old today. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with diabetes. In the past two years, he has been relying on insulin injections. However, after starting insulin treatment, he had to maintain it for a period of time. Despite this, his blood sugar levels with diabetes have remained consistently high. Doctor, how should one treat persistently high blood sugar levels with diabetes?Doctor's answer:
If diabetes remains uncontrolled despite treatment, the reasons may be related to irrational medication use, an improperly adjusted dietary structure, and other factors. It is recommended to be hospitalized for treatment, with intravenous medication being used to address the issue. At the same time, dietary control is also necessary. If medication is administered without dietary control, it will also affect the treatment outcome. Therefore, a thorough examination and treatment should be implemented across multiple aspects.
