Can diabetes be managed without medication?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been very hungry, and I haven't gained any weight, and I'm afraid of hard work. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have diabetes. But I don't want to take medicine. I want to ask if diabetes will be okay without taking medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Medications for diabetes cannot fundamentally treat the condition; they only help control blood sugar levels. It is also important for patients to pay close attention to their diet, eat small, frequent meals, and consume more easily digestible and nutritious foods, as well as whole grains. Regular physical activity is also recommended. Additionally, it is crucial to monitor blood sugar levels closely, as delayed treatment may lead to further complications.
