Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for over ten years and have been undergoing treatment. Everyone says diabetes is difficult to treat, but it still needs to be treated. I am using insulin medication. The day before yesterday, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and my blood sugar is still high. What's going on? Are there other methods? Why does blood sugar keep rising when using insulin for diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned, where blood sugar remains unsatisfactory after using insulin, could be due to a low dosage of insulin. However, you cannot increase the insulin dosage on your own at this time. Instead, you need to first visit a local reputable hospital and get admitted to the endocrinology department for treatment. You will need to undergo thorough tests for glycosylated hemoglobin and blood glucose profiles to determine the exact level of your current blood sugar. Additionally, you should clearly state the name and dosage of the insulin you are currently using. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, it will be determined whether the insulin dosage needs to be adjusted for treatment.
