Do you need to use insulin for life?

Patient's question:

I was admitted to the hospital for treatment on January 20, 2011. My diet is okay, sleep is also fine, I have a bowel movement twice a day, and I urinate more frequently. I have lost weight (I weighed 128 pounds when admitted, but now I only weigh 116 pounds). The onset of the illness may have occurred before last October, but it was not taken seriously.

Doctor's answer:

Diabetes is a lifelong disease, and controlling blood sugar is also a lifelong task. Therefore, if insulin is used to control blood sugar, it is best not to interrupt it to avoid other complications.
The causes of childhood diabetes are numerous. If a child is diagnosed with childhood diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
