Patient's question:
I am 37 years old this year, and I am a diabetic. Our family has a history of type 2 diabetes across generations. I would like to know if type 2 diabetes can be cured, and what precautions should be taken in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Taking Chinese herbal medicine cannot cure type 2 diabetes on its own. Overall, it is recommended to control diet, exercise moderately, reduce calorie intake, improve lifestyle, and check blood sugar regularly. If the pancreatic function is below 30%, gastric bypass surgery can be used for rescue treatment, which can often surpass clinical diagnostic effects. For details about the surgery, please refer to Tao Shiqiang's article "Why Do Diabetics Need Gastric Bypass Surgery."
