Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 45 years old this year. Due to my delay in going to the hospital for a check-up, I only found out today that I have had diabetes all along. I don't know how serious it is after finding out about the diabetes. Does diabetes require surgical treatment? Thank you very much for your explanation.Doctor's answer:
Having diabetes does not require surgical treatment, but so far, there is no effective medication in medicine that can cure diabetes. Therefore, in addition to medication to control the treatment, people with diabetes should pay special attention to their diet. If your blood sugar is too high, you can follow your doctor's advice to take metformin to help lower blood sugar, or use insulin. Avoid overeating and eat small meals more frequently.
