Patient's question:
As of now, diabetes can be divided into two types: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. My father was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Hello, what are the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
1 diabetes can only be controlled by insulin anesthesia to manage high blood sugar and stabilize the condition. Oral hypoglycemic drugs are usually ineffective. Type 2 diabetes can achieve certain effects through proper dietary control and appropriate oral hypoglycemic treatment. Of course, when oral hypoglycemic treatment is successful, or when pancreatic beta-cell function gradually weakens or severe acute or chronic complications reappear, it is also an indication for insulin.
