What should I do if I get Type 1 diabetes?

Patient's question:

My aunt has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and the results just came back. What should you do if you have Type 1 diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Since it is type 1 diabetes, timely insulin administration for anesthesia treatment is necessary. The reason is that this disease is similar to absolute insulin deficiency, meaning that the patient's pancreatic beta cells basically do not produce insulin. Therefore, artificial insulin needs to be used for replacement therapy. It is recommended that patients seek treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
