Patient's question:
After getting diabetes, I felt like the sky had collapsed. After receiving treatment in the hospital, the doctor said I needed to pay attention to my diet, such as avoiding sweet fruits like apples and bananas. I wanted to get rid of this disease as soon as possible. What are the best Chinese herbal medicines for type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Type 2 diabetes is a common endocrine disorder characterized by abnormal decreases in blood sugar levels. This condition requires timely treatment to prevent long-term high blood sugar from causing chronic complications. It is a controllable disease, so there is no need to overworry. Western medicine is primarily used for treatment, as it is highly effective. Avoid using traditional Chinese medicine indiscriminately. You can revisit the hospital's endocrinology department for a check-up and use blood sugar-lowering medications under the guidance of a physician to maintain normal blood sugar levels. It is essential to eat less sweet food and engage in adequate physical activity regularly.
