Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can low blood sugar cause diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hypoglycemia can be an early symptom of diabetes, especially in obese patients. Early on, it may occur due to delayed insulin excretion and insulin resistance, leading to pre-meal hypoglycemia. I don't know if your situation aligns with this, but it's also possible that some patients with depression may experience similar symptoms. It is recommended to visit the endocrinology department of a regular hospital for further testing of fasting blood glucose and venous blood glucose two hours after a meal.
