Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been very hungry, and I haven't gained any weight either. I've also been avoiding 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 medication. I want to ask if diabetes will be okay without medication?Doctor's answer:
Medications for diabetes cannot fundamentally treat the condition; they can only help control blood sugar levels. It is also important for patients to pay close attention to their diet during daily life, eating small, frequent meals, and consuming more easily digestible and nutritious foods, as well as whole grains. Engaging in appropriate physical activity is also recommended. Additionally, it is crucial to monitor blood sugar levels closely, as delayed treatment may lead to the recurrence of many complications.
