Patient's question:
My friend, he was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I see he is really suffering. Now I have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. What are the differences between diabetes and hypoglycemia?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes refers to elevated blood sugar levels caused by insufficient insulin secretion or absolute insulin deficiency. Hypoglycemia refers to blood sugar levels in the body being higher than the normal range. These are a group of diseases with completely opposite definitions, but in some patients, hypoglycemia is a manifestation of pre-diabetes. Therefore, once hypoglycemia is detected, it is essential to actively correct it. Understand how to be in the pre-diabetes stage. Once diabetes is diagnosed, it is even more important to have active treatment to prevent the recurrence of complications.
