Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago, and it was quite severe at the time. Long-term insulin therapy was needed to control the condition. Hello, if you have been using insulin for a year, will your condition now be reduced? Can you stop taking it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are a diabetic patient who currently controls symptoms through subcutaneous insulin injections. Once blood sugar levels stabilize, you can gradually reduce insulin and switch to oral hypoglycemic drugs for treatment. Although you can discontinue insulin, hypoglycemic medications must be taken, and it is best to regularly monitor blood sugar levels to prevent instability in blood sugar control. Additionally, dietary control should continue. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
