Question
A patient inquires whether it is still possible to consider fertility if their partner is taking a blood sugar-lowering medication named “Xuetangbao [Yiyuan Jiangtang Dan].”
Answer
Medical staff first inquire about the patient’s blood sugar control status and express their personal views, expressing regret towards those who do not rely on regular medications or insulin therapy but instead believe in so-called traditional Chinese medicine for blood sugar reduction. Usually, medical help is sought only when the condition worsens, at which point it is often found that the effect is not good, causing unnecessary economic and psychological burden.
