Patient's question:
My grandmother is 75 years old this year. She has been suffering from diabetes for over ten years and has been taking medication to control her blood sugar. Last night, she suddenly felt chest tightness and palpitations. Moreover, she also experienced nausea. We quickly took her to the hospital, where it was discovered that she had severe heart disease. I would like to ask, what should be done if diabetes also leads to heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, generally speaking, diabetic patients, apart from heart disease, have relatively high harm. It is necessary to check for hypertension and high blood lipids. Nutritional balance and dietary management are relatively common and recommended treatments. For heart disease, it generally requires careful examination through echocardiography and electrocardiogram to confirm.
