Successful case of Type 1 diabetes cure.

Today I will talk about the knowledge of successful cases of type 1 diabetes cure, and the main text will start soon. My daughter, who is 12 years old, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 3 years ago and has been relying on insulin injections to sustain her life... Problem analysis: Type 1 diabetes currently cannot be cured, so the method you mentioned currently does not have any successful cases. Regardless of the insulin treatment plan used, patients should first receive special education.

Suggestions: They should also learn to regularly monitor their blood sugar levels, adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner, strive to achieve target blood sugar levels, and consider insulin to control the progression of the disease. Therefore, in the current situation, it is necessary to consider regular systematic treatment and actively prevent complications.

How to cure diabetes? What cured Hu Shi's diabetes? There is a famous case of diabetes, which is the celebrity Hu Shi during the Republic of China. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, Mr. Lu Zhong'an, a famous physician in Beijing, was known for his skill in using astragalus, and was nicknamed "Lu Huangqi". At that time, Hu Shi had symptoms such as thirst, polydipsia, and polyuria, and was initially diagnosed with "diabetes". After receiving Western medical treatment for a period of time without obvious effects, many people recommended Lu Zhong'an to Hu Shi. However, Hu Shi believed that traditional Chinese medicine treatment had "no scientific basis" and refused to try it. Later, many people recommended Lu Zhong'an's medical skills to him, so he reluctantly sought medical treatment from Lu. Unexpectedly, after a series of diagnoses and treatments, his diabetes was cured.

Actually, the most important thing about diabetes is to control blood sugar. Whether it is dietary therapy, exercise therapy, or drug treatment, being able to control blood sugar is considered a good treatment. Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine can be used together for treatment. Western medicine can quickly lower blood sugar, while traditional Chinese medicine can maintain blood sugar in the long term and prevent complications. Diabetes treatment: combination drug therapy, comprehensive sugar control.

Once diabetes is diagnosed, regular treatment should be given. The method for treating diabetes is to first regulate diet and exercise, and under the guidance of a doctor, take oral medication such as Sangqi Jiantang Granules to lower blood sugar, and combine it with other hypoglycemic drugs to comprehensively prevent and treat complications.

It is recommended to take traditional Chinese medicine Sangqi Jiantang Granules. Its ingredients include Astragalus membranaceus, which was given to Hu Shi by Lu Zhong'an for treatment. In addition to Astragalus membranaceus, it also contains ginseng (stem and leaf) saponins, Schisandra chinensis, Chinese yam, Rehmannia glutinosa, raspberry, Ophiopogon japonicus, Poria cocos, pollen typhae, Alisma orientale, and Lycium chinense. Sangqi Jiantang Granules have a comprehensive and comprehensive regulatory effect on multiple targets and multiple aspects.

参芪降糖颗粒 has a stabilizing effect and generally does not cause low blood sugar. It is suitable for long-term use by diabetes patients, and also has a certain protective effect on heart, liver, and kidney function. It can be used in combination with metformin, sulfonylureas, acarbose, miglitol, insulin, and other medications without increasing the risk of low blood sugar. 1. It regulates disorderly metabolism of sugar and lipids.

Astragalus, Rehmannia, Ophiopogon, Goji berries, Schisandra, and Dioscorea all have varying degrees of blood sugar-lowering effects. Ginseng can enhance sugar utilization, promote sugar metabolism, inhibit fat decomposition activity, and restore the ability of diabetes to tolerate sugar. 2. Improving insulin resistance

Schisandra has a strong inhibitory effect on glucose glucosidase. Ginseng, Astragalus, and Rehmannia have the function of promoting pancreatic β-cell repair and enhancing the biological activity of insulin. Ophiopogon polysaccharide can significantly enhance insulin sensitivity, improve insulin resistance, and lower blood sugar.

3. Comprehensive comprehensive treatment from multiple aspects Ginseng, astragalus, ophiopogon, and schisandra have the function of regulating the body's immune function; goji berries, schisandra, raspberries, and astragalus have the function of correcting abnormal blood rheology; ginseng and ophiopogon can improve heart function and have a certain protective effect on the heart.

Those children who are suffering from diabetes hide in the toilet to take injections. Peng Yuan lifted up his shirt, exposing his belly to his 6-year-old daughter. "Poke here towards daddy," he said. Huihui picked up a needle and poked her father's belly with the first injection, followed by three or four more. Her mother also handed over her belly for Huihui to poke two needles.

Huihui giggled and found it a bit fun. Peng Yuan asked Huihui, "Are your hands steady?" Taking advantage of the opportunity, he helped her unscrew the needle and put in a syringe of insulin. On her tender little belly, Huihui gave herself her first injection. Peng Yuan immediately praised her, saying she did a great job!

Huihui is a Type 1 diabetes child. On June 17, 2020, she was brought to the Yiyang Children's Hospital in Hunan by her parents for examination due to bedwetting and excessive weight loss. Her blood sugar level was measured at 28mmol/L, far exceeding the normal range. The doctor suggested transferring her to another hospital for treatment.

Upon hearing this, the couple immediately drove to the Children's Hospital in the provincial capital, Changsha. Huihui was diagnosed on the same day and admitted to the ICU. Their daughter may need insulin injections for the rest of her life in order to sustain her survival. "Is diabetes an old age disease or a disease of the wealthy?"

"Do people not die from diabetes?" Although China has over 100 million diabetes patients, the majority of them are type 2 diabetes patients who are middle-aged or elderly. The general public still knows very little about the rare type 1 diabetes, leading to many misunderstandings. Type 1 diabetes is more prevalent among children and adolescents, but it can affect individuals as young as a few months old or as old as seventy or eighty years old, as evidenced by newly diagnosed "diabetes friends."

It is not contagious and is rarely hereditary. It is also different from type 2 diabetes, which affects a large number of people. The number of new cases of type 1 diabetes each year is only around 13,000, with approximately 1 to 2 people out of every 100,000 being affected. It is even less "convenient" to treat than type 2 diabetes. Some people with type 2 diabetes can require fewer or no insulin injections, relying only on diet and medication to control blood sugar. However, people with type 1 diabetes need to depend on insulin for their entire lives.

A type 1 "diabetic friend" who completely avoids insulin may only have a life expectancy of 1 to 2 years. However, if they can keep their blood sugar stable, they are just like any ordinary person and can live a long life, eat, exercise, and do everything they want. On November 28, 2020, in Kunming, there was a gathering of type 1 diabetic friends. An 11-year-old girl named Dongdong asked Li Xin, whom she was meeting for the first time, "Where does everyone inject insulin?"

"Toilet." "Injection in the toilet." Some parents nearby replied to her. Dongdong also got an injection in the school toilet. However, she felt uncomfortable because the partition in the toilet of her elementary school was very low, and students in fifth or sixth grade who were slightly taller could see what the person next door was doing. Dongdong didn't want to be seen by others while getting an injection in the toilet.

Dongdong's mom also doesn't like the restroom, but she carefully "inspected" a large circle at school, including the security guard room, playground, teacher's office, and principal's office. Either there were too many people coming and going, or her daughter didn't want to go. There was no place more hidden, more free, and more suitable for hiding and taking insulin than the restroom.

Dongdong, a primary school student, is a type 1 diabetes patient, and has just reached the one-year mark of living with diabetes. She gives herself at least 4 injections a day, before breakfast, lunch, dinner, and before bed. If she wants to eat snacks, she has to take additional injections. The number of injections depends on the number of snacks she eats.

She hides to take injections, but sometimes her mother catches her while bringing food and stays with her. She waits outside the bathroom door for a few minutes. Even after a year, her mother is still not used to it. She worries about the insulin pen and needles falling into the toilet, worries about others seeing Dongdong taking injections, and worries that her daughter might make mistakes in dosage, leakage, or breaking the needle when she is in a hurry. Anything can happen, and she needs to be vigilant.

Apart from a few necessary people, such as the homeroom teacher, principal, and Winter's good friend, she did not inform anyone else at school about Winter's type 1 diabetes. "They would look at him like he's a monster if they saw him injecting himself every day. None of the other kids in the class have to get injections. It's painful for children to get shots. How could someone possibly give themselves shots?"

Concealing diabetes, this is the choice of almost all sugar daddies and sugar mommies present that day. But for elementary school students, "hiding sugar" is not that easy either. The school with toilet partitions is relatively fortunate. Another sugar mommy said that the toilets at her child's school are open, and even the last "treasure land" where they can administer injections is gone.

Her child was forced to adjust the insulin regimen, going from four injections a day to two injections at home in the morning and evening. However, after adjusting the regimen, the child's blood sugar control is not good and always fluctuates greatly. Over time, this will cause huge and irreversible damage to the daughter's health, which she is very scared of. It's not just children, most adults with type 1 diabetes are also in a state of "hidden diabetes".

For them, the "nine-year compulsory education" before the age of 15 is already one of the most fair and least necessary stages to worry about, because according to national requirements, primary and middle schools cannot refuse to admit type 1 diabetes patients. However, things are different after entering university and society.

"Severe endocrine disease patients may not be admitted." The industry standard document that has been in use since 2003, titled "Guidelines for Medical Examination for College Entrance Examination in General Higher Education Institutions," clearly states as follows, issued by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, and the Health Commission.

Before 2003, individuals with type 1 diabetes were not allowed to be admitted to universities. However, after 2003, the power was delegated to each university to decide whether to admit such individuals. Even if some type 1 diabetes patients strictly control their blood sugar for many years and have no difference in their actions and thinking compared to a healthy person, there is still a risk of being rejected by universities.

In the medical examination for the recruitment of civil servants, it is still clearly stipulated that diabetes patients are not allowed to be recruited. The policy does not allow people with diabetes to become civil servants, but this girl concealed her condition. She was admitted to one of the top five universities in China and became a civil servant after graduation. (Photo provided by the individual)

Since then, there have been numerous negative cases of breakup in relationships, marriage, and raising children, where every time she was honest about her condition. 关关难过。 隐糖，似乎成为了一条大多数1型糖友“回到普通人”的路。 彭远为什么永远难忘2020年6月17日，女儿慧慧确诊的那一天？为什么几乎所有糖友，都能准确地报出自己确诊1型糖尿病的日期？

因为他们担心，或者已然应验： 确诊那一天，就是一个糖孩子人生的分水岭。 Translation: Sadness lingers. Being a hidden diabetic seems to be the path for most type 1 diabetic friends to "return to normal". Why will Peng Yuan never forget the day his daughter Huihui was diagnosed on June 17, 2020? Why can almost all diabetic friends accurately report the date they were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?

Because they worry, or it has already been proven: the day of diagnosis is a turning point in a diabetic child's life. Dr. Xie Yuting has seen too many tears from parents of children with type 1 diabetes. She is a doctor at Xiangya Second Hospital, Central South University, Hunan Province, and has been dedicated to clinical treatment and research on type 1 diabetes for the past ten years. In September 2016, led by Xiangya Second Hospital, a "China Type 1 Diabetes Alliance" was established, comprising 35 top-tier hospitals from 20 provinces and cities nationwide. Dr. Xie Yuting is a key doctor in the Type 1 Diabetes Alliance.

Many parents of type 1 diabetics have described to me the moment they found out about their child's diagnosis. Peng Yuan from Hunan said that it was difficult for him to drive from Yiyang to Changsha for two hours. He kept thinking about things in his mind, like if it was true, what to do in the future, why it had to be his own child, and why she had to bear these things. She is only 6 years old, still a little girl.

Zhang Ran from Guangzhou said, "My wife washes her face with tears every day. She appears strong in front of our children, but as soon as they fall asleep, she lies down on the bed and cries. I always comfort her, but she cries every day, trapped in an endless cycle. Actually, my wife doesn't know that I have also cried. On the day our son was diagnosed, I felt like the world was collapsing. I didn't cry in front of her, but on the way back home, on the Huadong Expressway, I illegally parked the car there and sobbed loudly."

The scene that Dr. Xie Yuting saw was nothing more than the repeated appearance of sugar daddies and sugar mommies mentioned above. In the clinic, some parents would start crying as soon as they sat down, while others would burst into tears and convulsions after just hearing a couple of sentences. Interestingly, some of the children were quite sensible. "Children may be more optimistic than their parents. They may not yet know what challenges they will face in their lives, while parents tend to worry a lot, fearing their children's future education and employment."

"There are children who comfort their parents in turn, saying that dad is fine, mom is fine, and not to cry." When Xie Yuting mentioned this, her eyes quickly turned red. Perhaps all parents in the world are like this. They don't want to cry in front of their children, but sometimes they can't help it.

Huang Dong is a celebrity in the Type 1 diabetes community. This 25-year-old young man from Dehong, Yunnan Province was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 9. He has now ridden his bicycle to Tibet five times. He said that the greatest thing about his parents is that they hardly ever cried in front of him. When he was only 9 years old and fell ill, his mother lost 20 kilograms in a month. "She is someone who loves to cry, but when talking about my diabetes all these years, she only had red eyes and never shed a tear in front of me."

Huang Dong's mother always tells him, "Everything will get better and better." Huang Dong also found it unbelievable. On his lonely cycle rides, heading towards mountains and deserts, as the wind passed through his body, he would always think of his mother and remember these words. He learned about his parents' tears after growing up and becoming sensible. His mother told him, "Your father cried and told me that if you died, he would commit suicide to take care of you."

Zhang Ran's son is 11 years old and has secretly told him a few times after his first discharge in November 2019: "Hehe, Mom cried all night, she thought I didn't know." Where will those suffering parents go? Perhaps only doctors in the endocrinology department and doctors in the type 1 diabetes clinic can see it most clearly.

Dr. Liu Li, the chief physician of Guangzhou Children's Hospital, once said at a proposal meeting in Guangzhou that she has been in contact with about 200 families of type 1 diabetes patients every year. From what she knows, conservatively estimated, about half of them end up in divorce and family disintegration.

(Type 1 diabetic couple, when the girl Dudu first discovered her husband, she was especially excited, "So there are people like me in the world, I also have the same kind!" She also transitioned from hiding her diabetes to being open about it.) Dr. Xie Yuting has not specifically researched this data, but she told me, "In Type 1 diabetic families, divorce is indeed not uncommon. I have seen more fathers leaving, and there are also mothers who leave. The economic and mental pressure, setbacks, and anxiety bring tension to family relationships."

"And one point is, in all families that control sugar very well, fathers are not derelict." Zhang Ran said that he is an incapable sugar daddy. He does not advocate hiding sugar from his own children, and even actively communicates with his son's primary school, requesting the school to spare him a few minutes after a certain meeting. He wants to invite experts from Guangzhou Children's Hospital to come to the school and give a popular science lecture, so that the teachers can all learn about what type 1 diabetes is, and that it is not terrifying.

The doctor expressed willingness to cooperate. However, from the class teacher to the head teacher, and even the principal, there is no one in the school who supports it. The principal said, "Don't make a big fuss as if you want the whole world to know that your son has this disease. It will actually harm your son."

But Zhang Ran always felt that the discrimination faced by type 1 diabetic children could not be solved privately on a one-on-one basis, but needed to be confronted publicly. If he cared about his own child, he must care about the situation of this whole group. But what needs to be addressed first is not discrimination.

A year ago, when Zhang Ran's son was hospitalized for the first time at the Children's Hospital in Guangzhou, there were two other children with type 1 diabetes in the same ward. One was a little girl from Foshan, Guangdong, and the other was a 10-year-old boy from Shaoyang, Hunan. Both of the children's parents were divorced and came from poor families.

Zhang Ran's family can be considered as middle class in the city, and they already feel like they are spending money like water on purchasing medical equipment and consumables. The economic situation of the two young diabetics is simply terrible. During a diabetes control training session at the hospital, parents gathered together. Hu Qijiang, a sugar daddy from Hunan in the neighboring bed, informed the nurse that his son's needle needs to be injected once a month.

The nurses were shocked. The disposable needle was poked into the tender belly, arms, and thighs of the child two or three times, until the needle wrapped up and couldn't go in anymore. Hu Qijiang, 44 years old, did not intentionally do this. "My doctor there didn't say that the needle had to be changed." A needle costs a few dollars, and he thought he could still use it, so he naturally continued to use it.

After being educated by the nurse, Hu Qijiang started to listen to the doctor's advice, changing the needle every time, and if not possible, changing it 2-3 times. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease. A diabetic child should test their blood sugar at least 4 times a day and inject insulin multiple times to maintain a healthy body.

Every test strip, every needle, every vial of medication, they all cost money. Wealthy families provide their children with the best imported equipment, such as dynamic blood glucose monitors and insulin pumps. They assign dedicated family members to take care of the children's blood sugar control, which can cost over ten thousand yuan per month.

Ordinary families have to budget carefully and cannot make their children suffer, but they can only save a little bit at a time, spending two to three thousand yuan per month. This year, Hu Qi Jiang's son has been repeatedly hospitalized, and volunteers went to his house to provide assistance. When they arrived at his house, it was already 9 PM at night. The child had already fallen asleep, and the grandparents in their 70s communicated with the volunteers to discuss knowledge about controlling sugar levels.

In poor families, it is common to find children with diabetes who only use their fingers to measure blood sugar and repeatedly reuse needles. The parents scrape together a few hundred yuan per month, "hanging on to the child's life." The dire situation of the poor is especially clear in the ward for type 1 diabetes. Nurse Li, head of the Endocrinology Department at Guangzhou Children's Hospital, told Zhang Ran that in 2019, Qingdao was the only city in the country to include consumables and medical equipment for type 1 diabetes in medical insurance. At that time, Guangzhou did not have this coverage, and the majority of expenses had to be paid out of pocket.

Zhang Ran didn't understand, "What does Guangzhou lack compared to Qingdao? Guangzhou should have it too!" he said. After the child is discharged from the hospital, he must promote the inclusion of type 1 diabetes in medical insurance. Nurse Li laughed heartily and said, "Sure, if you have the ability to do it, that would be amazing! Go ahead and do it."

Zhang Ran sensed the nurse's disbelief, but as a former soldier, his righteousness surged. He said, "I not only want to promote the inclusion of type 1 diabetes in medical insurance, but also advocate for equal opportunities for type 1 children in education and employment, and eliminate discrimination in the civil service exam."

Diabetics and nurses all watched on the spot. On December 1, 2020, when the three characters "Sui Sui Kang" really lit up at the top of Guangzhou's little waist, Zhang Ran felt like it was a dream. Over the past year, the many hardships and efforts of him and others need not be mentioned again, but it actually took effect. Guangzhou has become the second city in the country to provide guarantees for type 1 diabetes, supplementing medical insurance with commercial insurance. The reimbursement level and policy care are both delightful. Some diabetics even "think about coming to Guangzhou to work and live" because of this policy.

And another proposal on the issue of enrollment and employment for children with type 1 diabetes has also been submitted to Beijing during the two sessions. On December 2nd, I met Zhang Ran at Haixinsha in Guangzhou. "We must have someone speak up. If everyone chooses to hide their diabetes, what will happen to these children? If everyone only cares about themselves, I can take care of myself, but what about those who can't?" Zhang Ran said.

"We felt hopeful about the future, so we called Hu Qijiang, the sugar daddy who used to be next to him. We were ready to share this good news with him. "Brother, where are you?" While I was waiting for Zhang Ran to say the following words, I looked up and unexpectedly saw tears rolling down his face. I almost thought I had seen it wrong.

"Brother, listen to me, it's strange if your (son's) condition doesn't worsen, because you haven't controlled your sugar well!" "Why did you send him back to his hometown in Guangzhou? There are only grandparents in the family who are in their seventies." "You can't do this, brother. Do you know the seriousness of it? Let me ask you, what is the meaning of your work, what is the meaning of your work?"

Originally, Hu Qijiang's son was hospitalized due to ketoacidosis. He was saved in his hometown on December 1st, and he "escaped from death's door". After being discharged from the hospital, Hu Qijiang returned to Guangzhou to work on the same day. Zhang Ran encouraged him to go back and help his son control his sugar intake. Hu Qijiang said, "If I go back, my whole family will starve." "If he really dies, that's his fate."

Ketosis acidosis, an acute complication caused by poor blood sugar control, can cause significant damage to a child's body and even "take them away" directly. In the past year, Zhang Ran has met and interacted with Hu Qijiang twice at the Guangzhou Children's Hospital. Their children are only a year apart, and he knows the situation of Hu's child very well. However, Zhang Ran couldn't find any more words to say.

I learned that although Hu Qijiang works in Guangzhou, he has not purchased social insurance, so his son cannot enjoy the new Guangzhou Sui Sui Health Reimbursement Policy. To some extent, all the efforts made by Hu Qijiang have turned out to be in vain. On December 7th at noon, I arranged to meet with Hu Qijiang.

He works at a shoe factory in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, working 7 days a week from 8 am to 10 pm, with only meal breaks during the day and free time after 6 pm on weekends. We chatted for more than an hour, and Hu Qijiang said, "Maybe being poor and being rich are different, but the love for children is the same." However, when I asked him in detail about controlling sugar, Hu Qijiang couldn't answer some of the questions and had some obvious discrepancies compared to what other sugar daddies said. For example, his child rarely checks blood sugar levels. The reason is still money, as each test strip costs 1-3 yuan. Sometimes, if the child doesn't feel uncomfortable, he thinks it's unnecessary to test.

The method of saving money for the poor is always to compromise on their own health. "Not testing blood sugar is absolutely wrong, it is like a blind person trying to touch an elephant," Sugar Daddy Peng Yuan once told me, "Not testing blood sugar will only lead to blind injections for the child. There is even a risk of death."

But Hu Qijiang doesn't understand all this. While other sugar daddies read books, find sugar friends, and search the internet to acquire knowledge on blood sugar control, Hu Qijiang has never updated his child's knowledge on blood sugar control since leaving the hospital. He doesn't have the means, time, or the necessary level of knowledge.

(A 29-year-old diabetic, her father wrote down sugar control knowledge notes for her when she was a child. Faced with her child's sugar control, her father is as meticulous and serious as an elementary school student.) When saying goodbye to Hu Qijiang, I saw his bank card balance, 53.36 yuan. That was all his savings.

A doctoral student at the Second Xiangya Hospital of the Central South University distributed questionnaires to more than 300 endocrinologists in tertiary hospitals nationwide in 2020. Survey on the understanding of type 1 diabetes among doctors in tertiary hospitals. Which foods should be counted for carbohydrates? How should the patient's insulin dosage be adjusted? - Similar basic questions, the feedback results are very pessimistic, often only 20% or even as low as 10% of the respondents can answer all the questions correctly.

Currently, this survey report has not been published, but the researchers have already conducted some internal sharing at the Second Xiangya Hospital. "The doctors in the endocrinology department of a Class A hospital are like this, let alone ordinary people," said Dr. Xie Yuting. Huang Dong, a happy cyclist nicknamed "Sugar Boy," once shared a childhood story with me.

"I had been diagnosed with diabetes for so many years without crying, except for the time when I was 9 years old. The doctor said, 'You can never eat sugar again in your life!' I cried a lot." When Huang Dong was about thirteen or fourteen years old, he realized that the doctor was wrong. He could eat anything even if he had type 1 diabetes. At this time, he really "hated" that doctor.

"I was rebellious during my adolescence. Sometimes, after drinking with friends, I even thought about going back to the hospital together to confront that doctor." In moments of despair, doctors are like gods. A single word from a doctor can make a patient believe and follow it for many years. But there are quite a few doctors who convey incorrect information to patients because many doctors do not have a good understanding of type 1 diabetes, especially doctors in small county hospitals. "You can't eat until you're full, just eat cucumber." "You don't have to frequently test your blood sugar." "Give up on this disease, have another child."

On December 18th, when I met 15-year-old Zhou Hang in Changsha, Hunan, he had just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a month ago. This 1.78-meter tall high school boy often has his blood sugar spike to over 20 mmol/L, but he only takes one injection a day, giving himself enough for the whole day. It is very dangerous.

Zhou Hang does not care and repeatedly says, "If I die, then I die." He transferred from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Zhangjiajie to Xiangya Second Hospital in Changsha. Before coming here, this tall boy had also cried. After being diagnosed and admitted to the hospital, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor did not allow him to eat staple foods. Every meal was just a bowl of vegetables. He was hungry. The doctor told him to eat cucumbers. "I can't eat more than five cucumbers a day, and the doctor says I eat too much. My mother also cries, saying it to me."

"I won't be able to eat enough in the future. I won't be able to have the things I want to eat in my lifetime. Why am I still alive?" Zhou Hang said. But in reality, it can be eaten. Everything can be eaten, as long as blood sugar can be well controlled through insulin. Xie Yuting has also received such patients, a child under three years old, brought by his father while holding a cucumber to nibble on. The father said that his child had been nibbling on cucumbers for almost two days because the doctor told him that he could only eat cucumbers and tomatoes and couldn't eat anything else.

"Do you know how pitiful it is? His child is suffering from ketoacidosis. Children with ketosis do not need to starve. At that time, my own child was also two or three years old. When I saw that child, I couldn't handle it." Dr. Xie Yuting said. There was also a middle school student who suddenly said to Dr. Xie Yuting in the outpatient department, "No one has ever told me that getting this disease is not my fault."

Slowly, Dr. Xie Yuting came up with a metaphor to enlighten those parents. When a child's body has a little problem, insulin is like a crutch. It is here to help the child, not harm him. We can gradually learn to use insulin and become friends with sugar. However, most parents do not know how to "use insulin".

The total number of doctors in the endocrinology department nationwide is about 20,000. Some of these doctors do not have a good understanding of type 1 diabetes patients. These "sugar kids" are about to embark on a lifelong journey with insulin, and they are also confused and uncertain about hospitals and doctors. On the one hand, some hospitals' previous incorrect instructions have left them with a shadow, causing them to fear and dislike their own illness.

On the other hand, they find it difficult to encounter professional doctors and cannot find the correct way to control their blood sugar levels after leaving the hospital. They also cannot find fellow diabetics. Apart from a few classic books on type 1 diabetes control, such as "Sweet Life by Yourself" and "Clear and Transparent Blood Sugar Management", most of the diabetics have to rely on their own exploration and mutual assistance with fellow diabetics after returning home.

In China, only about 30% to 40% of type 1 diabetics have their blood sugar under control, while the incidence rate of diabetic complications is very high. Li Kang, born in 1993, almost had his foot amputated at the age of 23 due to complications from diabetes. When his relatives called to criticize him, saying, "Did you eat randomly again?", Li Kang felt very wronged.

"I really didn't eat recklessly, I desperately want to live a good life and have a family, but I don't know what the right thing to do is." Various hospitals pushed him back and forth, it was his family and fellow diabetics who helped him. He managed to borrow money and saved his legs. Li Kang has one wish: "To have an authoritative information platform, just like watching news broadcasts, where you can open it and see it. If you have type 1 diabetes, you will know that you can rely on it. It is authoritative and you can get support from it."

Perhaps one day, the 1st type diabetes alliance will be able to accomplish such things, but currently, they have only taken the difficult first small step. In the huge gap between doctors and patients, some scammers take advantage of the situation. As soon as they discover that you are facing difficulties, someone will come knocking at your door. Some sell fake medicines, a small box for a few hundred or thousand yuan, claiming that it can "cure diabetes". Some claim they can help children regulate their blood sugar, asking for 5000 yuan to restore normal blood sugar levels for the child. There are also people selling ancestral Chinese medicine remedies... and so on.

"Most new sugar daddies and sugar mommies have been deceived," Dongdong's mother said, "but even if we are deceived, it's because scammers know the weak spots of sugar families - dare you sue me? If you sue me, I'll expose you." In a desperate attempt to find a cure, they ended up suffering losses without any compensation.

Some new sugar parents gain experience from being deceived, but there are still some who willingly fall into the trap. "Do you think I don't know they are scammers? But what if they're not." The most reliable ones are always fellow diabetics. "Most of them hide their diabetes, how do you find fellow diabetics?" I asked Zhang Ran.

During the first week of his child's diagnosis, Zhang Ran frantically sought out fellow diabetics for advice. Now, he has over a thousand diabetic friends on his phone through adding people from the hospital, insulin manufacturers, and even the boss of a secondhand goods store on Taobao. One by one, he entered numerous diabetic support groups.

Li Kang also really likes to join groups. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the fifth grade of elementary school and dropped out of school by the time he reached junior high. However, his knowledge and experience in blood sugar control, as well as his volunteer experience at the Sinocare Diabetes Charity Foundation, have earned him the affectionate nickname of "Mama Cabo" among fellow diabetics who trust him. One of his sayings is considered a motto by fellow diabetics: "The most frightening thing is to follow the doctor's guidance without any changes."

Type 1 diabetes is a process of becoming friends with one's own body, as the saying goes, "one who has been sick becomes a doctor." As the disease progresses, one's understanding of type 1 diabetes will surpass that of most specialists. "Kabu Mama" carries a real-name organ donation card in his wallet. When he was young, he went out to work and saw someone reading a book on a green train. It was "Everything is the Best Arrangement" by Jiacuo Living Buddha. He bought the book and fell in love with reading. Every time he changed jobs and moved, he would bring a big box of books. His co-workers said he always read "chicken soup" books, but Kabu Mama still believed it was a good book. "I want to donate my organs in the future, not because I have no hope, but because I truly love life."

33-year-old Li Xin is also a "god" within the diabetes community. As a graduate of Tsinghua University and with years of experience in blood sugar control, his occasional live broadcasts during the pandemic led him to be recognized by many fellow diabetics. 11-year-old girl Dong Dong from Yunnan learned to give herself injections for the first time because of Li Xin. There is also young cyclist Huang Dong, who, with the support of the Sanofi Diabetes Public Welfare Foundation twice in 2020, cycled through Hunan to visit one diabetic family after another, bringing them basic knowledge of blood sugar control and helping them regain confidence in their health.

Huang Dong enjoys being with other diabetics. "Because we are the same kind of people, just like vampires, hiding in society, right? Maybe we are those 'vampires' and we feel very close when we meet each other." "Hello hello! I am a vampire from Yunnan, and you are a vampire from Hunan, right?" Huang Dong said, smiling widely.

These choices, which do not exclude sugar, are eye-catching for sugar friends, and become buttons that connect hidden sugar friends together. "Friends outside are all friends, only sugar friends are the same kind." said Wu Zijing, a 20-year-old sugar friend from Loudi, Hunan. These sugar friends are connected together, and they also maintain contact with hospitals and charity organizations. The joint efforts are made to eliminate the distance between doctors and patients.

I chatted with Dr. Xie Yuting about diabetic patients. She shared various touching stories from the outpatient clinic, but also mentioned some interesting anecdotes about interacting with diabetic friends, such as "how to enjoy a cup of tea without needing insulin injections." "Some are not my patients, but just friends who also take insulin."

(Some names in the text are pseudonyms) Cure for Diabetes to Prevent Relapse, Secret Recipe for Curing Diabetes, Cure for Diabetes Recipe Diabetes has now become a globally recognized epidemic, and many patients are dissatisfied with the traditional treatment methods for diabetes and its complications. The lifelong use of medication and insulin injections leads patients to seek alternative treatments for diabetes.

Experts from Jinan Diabetes Hospital point out that so-called cure recipes for diabetes are scams. The treatment of diabetes should be based on individual conditions such as blood sugar levels, pancreatic function, and the presence of complications. Specific treatment plans should be formulated based on these factors, and medication should not be blindly used to avoid worsening the condition. Unlike other diseases, the indiscriminate use of medication can affect the patient's condition and lead to irreversible consequences. It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable specialized hospital.

Gastric Bypass Surgery The unique aspect of gastric bypass surgery is that it changes the physiological flow of food. This is achieved through steps such as gastric obstruction, gastric-intestinal anastomosis, and intestinal-intestinal anastomosis. After surgery, the patient's insulin resistance is eliminated, and the flow of food after surgery promotes insulin secretion, reduces pancreatic cell apoptosis, increases proliferation, and restores pancreatic function, leading to a cure for diabetes.

In addition to normal blood sugar levels, a series of complications in patients have been significantly improved. For example, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic dermatitis, diabetic sexual dysfunction, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia gradually recover. The occurrence of severe complications is prevented, and disability or death is avoided.

Recovery Case - Strong Woman Overwhelmed by Diabetes, Gastric Bypass Surgery Relieves Burden Patient: Ms. Jiang, female, 40 years old, from Liaoning. Chief complaint: History of type 2 diabetes for three years. Treatment history: Ms. Jiang works as a project manager in a real estate company and is usually busy with work, neglecting her own health. After experiencing unbearable itching all over her body, she went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes accompanied by grade 1 hypertension, with a fasting blood sugar level of 13mmol/L. Over the course of three years, Ms. Jiang traveled to different cities in search of various treatment methods. However, her condition did not improve. In her work, Ms. Jiang is a typical strong woman, but she was unexpectedly overwhelmed by diabetes. Having diabetes made Ms. Jiang increasingly depressed. After being recommended by someone, she came to Jinan Diabetes Hospital for treatment. After understanding Ms. Jiang's condition, Dr. Tao Shiqiang performed gastric bypass surgery for her.

Ms. Jiang's diabetes recovery brings joy; a plaque was sent. Three days after the surgery, the patient could eat normally, and postprandial blood sugar levels returned to normal, allowing her to stop using antidiabetic drugs. One month after the surgery, the itching symptoms gradually decreased, and the patient was discharged after recovering. (This article is provided by Jinan Diabetes Hospital)
