Patient's question:
It's actually quite difficult. Could you please ask about the latest therapies for diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Most patients are type 2 diabetes, and currently, there are some new guidelines and recommendations for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in terms of medication. Metformin has been listed as the first-line drug for treating type 2 diabetes. If there are no special contraindications, metformin should be used first, as it can reduce fasting blood glucose and is less likely to cause hypoglycemia. Then, attention should be paid to reducing postprandial blood glucose at 2 hours, using α-glucosidase inhibitors.
