Professional Advice
Based on the fasting blood sugar levels, it is recommended to undergo standardized treatment. Even in the early stages of diabetes treatment, in addition to medication, attention must be paid to dietary control and appropriate exercise, which should be maintained throughout the entire process of diabetes treatment. If blood sugar control reaches the standard after medication treatment, it may be possible to discontinue the use of medication, a phase known as the “honeymoon period” in diabetes treatment.
