Patient's question:
The neighbor's elderly man was diagnosed with diabetes a month ago. It is said that he is now experiencing excessive thirst, a significant increase in appetite, and very frequent urination, but his body has become severely emaciated. It is said that diabetes can cause great harm to the body. So, how can diabetes be effectively controlled?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it has been discovered that I have diabetes, with typical symptoms including excessive thirst, excessive hunger, frequent urination, and weight gain. If the blood sugar level is diagnosed as greater than 7.1 mmol/L, it is recommended to cooperate with hypoglycemic drugs such as biguanides for treatment. On a daily basis, it is necessary to have regular three meals, control the intake of staple foods, avoid sweet foods, eat more coarse grains, and strengthen exercise. Always maintain sufficient deep sleep. By cooperating with medication to control blood sugar, it is possible to return to normal.
