Patient's question:
I am already over 70 years old this year, but unfortunately, I was diagnosed with diabetes recently. Sometimes I feel that my overall mental state is not good. Now, they are asking me to take anesthesia insulin. Hello, does the blood sugar change after taking anesthesia insulin for diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients may experience a recurrence of hypoglycemia after anesthesia and insulin administration, as insulin can metabolize and utilize blood glucose, leading to a further drop in blood sugar levels. The cause of diabetes is due to insufficient insulin secretion in the body, which triggers this condition. Insulin therapy can help reduce blood sugar levels. In addition to medication, diabetic patients also need to adopt dietary control, increase sources of blood glucose, and enhance physical activity to improve glucose utilization. Other hypoglycemic medications, such as biguanides or α-glucosidase inhibitors, can also be used for treatment.
