How to cure diabetes?

Today, let me talk about the knowledge of how to cure diabetes. The main text will start soon. How to treat diabetes? Type 1 Diabetes Patients with this type of diabetes completely lose the function of insulin secretion. If insulin is not supplemented into the body through injections, patients will experience severe metabolic disorders (such as ketoacidosis), which can lead to coma and death. Therefore, for patients with type 1 diabetes, insulin is first used to save lives, and then to treat the disease, that is, using insulin to control blood sugar and reduce chronic complications.

Type 2 Diabetes Early-stage patients Research has shown that newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients who receive intensive insulin therapy for two weeks can maintain ideal blood sugar levels through diet control and exercise within three years, temporarily avoiding any medication. Therefore, for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, if the effects of diet and exercise therapy are not satisfactory, it is best to use insulin for short-term intensive treatment, allowing the patient's pancreatic beta cells to rest fully for a period of time and then secrete insulin better.

Long-term patients with type 2 diabetes Years of clinical experience tell us that patients with type 2 diabetes can no longer rely solely on oral hypoglycemic drugs to control blood sugar after about 8-10 years of illness. If insulin treatment is not used at this time, blood sugar will be difficult to control satisfactorily, and complications caused by high blood sugar will progress significantly.

Type 2 diabetes patients with complications This includes two situations. One is that other diseases or conditions may cause life-threatening metabolic disorders, such as diabetes patients who need major surgery, suffer from severe trauma, or have severe infections. They may experience ketosis, ketoacidosis, or non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma, which can be life-threatening. The second situation is that other diseases can cause accumulation toxicity of oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as patients with liver or kidney dysfunction, or patients with severe hypoxia (such as heart failure), because oral hypoglycemic drugs are not metabolized effectively in the body, leading to drug accumulation and exacerbation of side effects.

How to treat diabetes? Diabetes is a chronic disease. Similar to hypertension and heart disease, it is difficult to detect in the early stages as it only causes noticeable discomfort after many years of illness and when the condition becomes severe. Currently available treatment methods cannot cure diabetes, but they can control blood sugar levels, prevent complications, and prolong the patient's lifespan.

The treatment of diabetes is comprehensive and includes: dietary control, exercise, medication, and blood glucose monitoring. The medication for treating diabetes is mainly divided into oral medication and injectable medication, of which injectable medication includes two types: GLP-1 analogues/receptor agonists and insulin.

In addition, there are also surgical methods for treating diabetes, such as weight loss surgery for type 2 diabetes combined with obesity. Daily monitoring mainly includes: testing blood sugar, measuring blood pressure, testing kidney function/microalbumin, and measuring weight. It is recommended to have a blood pressure monitor, a blood glucose meter, and a urine test toilet (lid) at home.

Smart urine test toilet lids can be installed on the toilet at home, and during the process of using the toilet, urine can be automatically collected for testing. The urine test report can be viewed on the app. Moreover, smart urine test toilet lids also have heating and disinfection functions (no need to worry about bacterial infections or freezing in cold weather), and can be used as smart toilets in daily life. They are very suitable for daily use by diabetes patients and other patients with chronic liver and kidney diseases.

The above is the complete knowledge points of how to cure diabetes explained in this article, hoping it will be helpful to you.
