Patient's question:
My uncle has had diabetes for nearly five years. During this time, he has been understanding and following the treatment, but it hasn't shown any improvement. Now, he is always looking for new methods. Hello, what are the methods for treating diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer, Hello, diabetes is currently primarily treated with medication. For type 1 diabetes, insulin therapy is necessary. If you have type 2 diabetes, oral medication can be used. If severe complications reappear, insulin therapy will be required. Currently, mild diabetes can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. There is also a gastric bypass surgery that can potentially cure diabetes, but it has not yet been widely used in clinical diagnosis.
