Patient's question:
Hello doctor! My mother has had type 2 diabetes for over 10 years and has been taking insulin. Recently, she often experiences low blood sugar 2 hours after taking insulin. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
For the situation you mentioned, based on the symptoms you described, your mother has type 2 diabetes. The patient should go to a regular hospital's endocrinology department for diagnosis and treatment. The patient should be hospitalized to re-adjust the insulin dosage. The recurrence of these symptoms may be due to slower food digestion, which prolongs the time it takes for food to convert into sugar, making it easier to experience hypoglycemia after taking insulin. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient re-adjust the medication dosage.
