Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling quite unwell, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The test report indicated that I have galactosemia. I'm very concerned and want to know if galactosemia is the same as diabetes?Doctor's answer:
First, it is clear that galactosemia and diabetes are two different diseases, most of which are inherited genetic diseases caused by autosomal recessive inheritance. Currently, most diseases are confirmed through blood and urine tests related to galactose metabolism enzymes, while diabetes is a body's metabolic disease caused by elevated blood sugar, and these two diseases are completely different, with different treatments.
