Patient's question:
I have diabetes, and I can't eat many things in daily life. I vaguely remember that once I was too hungry and drank several bottles of beer, and when I came home, I had an attack and was restless all night. Yesterday, I was diagnosed with stones, which are mild and can be removed with medication. Do you think the stone-removing medication will have any effect on diabetes?Doctor's answer:
If it is some traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine for promoting diuresis and expelling stones, it generally has little impact on blood sugar. However, it should also be determined based on the specific ingredients of the medication. If the medication is relatively sweet, it is still necessary to closely monitor blood sugar fluctuations. If it is Western medicine, a detailed analysis of the side effects and precautions of the medication is required. If there is an impact, the medication should be adjusted promptly. Additionally, it is recommended to develop the habit of drinking more water, which helps in expelling urinary stones out of the body.
