Patient's question:
Doctor, my father is 65 years old this year. He has had diabetes and high blood pressure for over ten years. The current doctor says he has a slight stroke and is being treated in the hospital. They also mention there is a possibility of a collapse. I would like to ask if there is any possibility of self-healing? If it can be treated, how long would it take approximately?Doctor's answer:
If the patient's symptoms of cerebral infarction are not very severe at the moment and are relatively mild, then this condition can heal on its own. Diabetic patients need to strictly control their blood sugar. If blood sugar control is poor, it is very easy to develop diabetic macrovascular complications again, such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. Diabetic patients should maintain a fasting blood glucose level of 6.0 millimoles per liter and take low-dose aspirin orally. This is relatively safe.
