Patient's question:
My uncle has had diabetes before. Based on recommendations from relatives, he started taking insulin. Insulin is also particularly expensive, which has made my uncle reluctant to take it now. Even though it takes effect quickly, because my uncle has been persistently taking insulin. I feel sad that he has already developed that habit, so I wanted to ask everyone, can diabetics stop taking insulin after starting?Doctor's answer:
The view that anesthesia insulin is not addictive in diabetic patients is based on the fact that diabetic patients cannot excrete sufficient insulin from their pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels, so they require external insulin therapy. It is recommended that your uncle undergo further medical examinations in the hospital. Under good blood sugar control, a detailed examination of the male head meal plate experiment should be conducted to understand the pancreatic function and insulin secretion of the patient, in order to clarify how to switch to new hypoglycemic drug treatment.
