Patient's question:
My husband was hospitalized in a hospital a few days ago two years ago because he accidentally injured his hand and was carefully examined to discover high blood sugar. At that time, he didn't take this condition seriously. Hello doctor, my husband is currently taking Metformin due to high blood sugar and taking it every day. Is there any side effect?Doctor's answer:
Any medication taken for a long time can be harmful to the body. It is recommended to pay attention to taking hypoglycemic drugs on time every day, pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and stomach-upset foods, avoid sweets, and do not overeat. It is best to eat small meals frequently. In addition, it is necessary to check blood sugar every day. If the blood sugar level is very high, you can take insulin to control the condition. Diabetic patients have poor skin, so it is important to pay attention to skin hygiene.
