Do you need to take medicine for diabetes for life?

Patient's question:

With the current treatment methods in our country, can this disease still be cured? Does diabetes require lifelong medication?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, diabetes is a chronic disease. Once diagnosed with diabetes, if you need to adjust your blood sugar through diet control and increasing the intake of sugary foods beforehand, if your blood sugar can be maintained at a basically normal level through dietary management, medication may not be necessary. However, if dietary control still cannot effectively regulate blood sugar, long-term oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin administration may be required to control the patient's blood sugar.
