Patient's question:
I have conjunctivitis, which has persisted for a long time without being cured. I have been taking medication continuously. Recently, a thorough physical examination revealed slightly elevated urine sugar, and a hospital diagnosis confirmed diabetes. The doctor said it might be related to my diet. I remembered that I have been taking for these many years. How does cause diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Sulfasalazine medication will never cause diabetes; it is likely due to your overly sweet diet or a hereditary predisposition to diabetes. First, test your fasting blood sugar and post-meal blood sugar to see if they are both below normal levels. If both are high, it indicates diabetes. Sulfasalazine medication is primarily used for anti-inflammatory purposes and will not affect blood sugar levels. I suggest you don't panic and monitor your blood sugar data more frequently.
