Patient's question:
I felt unwell at the beginning of the year and underwent a thorough examination, which revealed nephrotic syndrome. I actively underwent treatment, and now there has been significant improvement. All other indicators are normal, but my blood sugar remains high. I have nephrotic syndrome, and currently only my blood sugar is high while the rest are normal. How can I lower my blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome may cause a stress-induced increase in blood sugar levels due to the need for treatment with corticosteroid drugs. Your symptoms of hyperlipidemia and edema have been controlled, so you can temporarily discontinue corticosteroid drugs. Pay attention to avoiding excessive sugar and high-fat foods in your diet, and ensure adequate rest. Seek medical treatment promptly and undergo regular check-ups.
