Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for many years and have been taking hypoglycemic medication. However, my blood sugar has been a bit unstable recently, fluctuating between high and low. I am still taking my medication as usual. Could my condition have mellowed out? What causes blood sugar fluctuations in diabetics?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is an endocrine and catabolic disease caused by an absolute or relative lack of insulin secretion. It can easily lead to complications such as those affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, and retinas! It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments, take oral medications under the guidance of a doctor, and coordinate with insulin therapy. Dietary control, increased exercise, regular blood sugar monitoring, and coordinated traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation treatment are also important. Take breaks regularly and avoid overworking! Diabetes diet is not absolute; it only controls total intake. In this case, there is no need to adjust medications and dosages according to the doctor's instructions for blood sugar control.
