Patient's question:
My grandmother has been feeling unwell lately and found it a bit inconvenient to go to the toilet. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was diagnosed with diabetes. She doesn't want chemotherapy and wants to know if there are any good and effective medications that can treat diabetes?Doctor's answer:
For diabetic patients, the first step is to control blood sugar through diet and exercise. If diet and exercise alone do not effectively control blood sugar, oral medication is necessary. Most types of blood sugar-lowering medications can be used. However, it is essential to take oral medication on time and closely monitor blood sugar levels. If blood sugar control remains poor, insulin can be used to control blood sugar when necessary. When using insulin, it is important to be vigilant about the recurrence of hypoglycemia.
