Question
I have had diabetes for 8 years and recently experienced symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, tremors, and chest tightness and shortness of breath. An electrocardiogram showed arrhythmia. How should heart disease caused by diabetes be treated?
Answer
Diabetes can lead to various chronic complications, including kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases. It is first recommended to undergo a heart ultrasound to determine the severity of the condition. Targeted medication treatment will be implemented based on the results of the examination. If blood sugar levels are not well controlled for a long time, insulin pump therapy may be considered to stabilize blood sugar levels.
