Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I recently learned that my grandfather has diabetes. He can't eat some foods, and he has to be very careful every day. He's even afraid to touch foods with a bit high sugar content. Do you have any good medicine to treat diabetes?Doctor's answer:
For treating diabetes, there is no good treatment method. Generally, long-term medication treatment is required. Oral medications such as metformin can be taken, but it is best to regularly check blood sugar levels to avoid improper medication use, worsening the condition or causing low blood sugar. If blood sugar remains high, it is best to use insulin to stabilize it. At the same time, it is recommended to pay attention to dietary management, avoid sweet foods, and eat small meals frequently.
