Patient's question:
Doctor, recently I heard from others that type 2 diabetes can be cured. Could you please tell me if the rumor I heard is true? I would like to seek clarification from you regarding this doubt. If it is true, please arrange for me to understand this treatment. If not, please also tell me about a better treatment method.Doctor's answer:
Type 2 diabetes cannot be cured because its recurrence is caused by insufficient insulin secretion in the body or the resurgence of insulin resistance. To treat type 2 diabetes, if there is a lack of insulin, insulin replacement therapy can be used. It is necessary to control the sources of blood sugar, such as limiting the intake of staple foods, especially those containing sugar and starch. Alternatively, medications that increase blood sugar absorption, such as metformin-based drugs, can be used. It is essential to adhere to the treatment.
