Patient's question:
Two years ago, high blood sugar was diagnosed as type 2 diabetes at a secondary hospital. After enduring, I take Metformin twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, 0.5 grams each time. Currently, before meals, 0.5L, and 2 hours after meals, 6.1L.Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a chronic syndrome characterized by elevated blood glucose levels in the circulation, leading to metabolic disorders in carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The onset of diabetes is related to intergenerational inheritance and environmental factors. It is recommended that metformin extended-release tablets are a first-line medication for treating type 2 diabetes, particularly effective for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. They enhance peripheral tissue utilization of glucose, do not affect pancreatic β cells, and do not cause hypoglycemia.
