Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, my father-in-law is 61 years old this year. He has diabetes and takes medication regularly, but he feels like it's not very effective, so I want to see if there are any new methods to treat diabetes. Do you know the best way to treat diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Currently, clinical diagnosis primarily relies on oral or anesthetized hypoglycemic drugs to control blood sugar. Diabetes is a chronic disease, and there are no reported cases of cures in clinical diagnosis; it can only be managed by controlling blood sugar levels. It is important to avoid sweet foods, practice small and frequent meals, and engage in more outdoor activities. Combining medication with physical activity for comprehensive treatment is necessary. Diabetes does not mean that taking oral medication for a period of time will lead to a complete cure.
