Question
My child isn’t very overweight but has diabetes. It breaks my heart to see her taking medication every day, but after such a long time of treatment, the effects haven’t been very good. I want to know how to treat diabetes more effectively?
Answer
The main treatment for diabetes is medication, which can improve glucose metabolism and lower blood sugar levels. When combined with exercise therapy and dietary therapy, it can control the progression of the disease. Patients need to monitor their blood sugar levels and avoid overexertion. There’s a principle in treating chronic diseases: it’s important to stick with the same doctor for a long time and not switch doctors frequently, otherwise, it’s as if there hasn’t been any treatment. It is recommended to pay more attention to diet and avoid sugary foods in general.
