Question
Patient Age: Blood sugar levels range from 13 to 19, significant weight loss in the past two years, frequent thirst, leg weakness, and a preference for lying down. No other symptoms. Blood pressure is normal.
Answer
Based on the analysis of the symptoms: The patient may have type 2 diabetes. Treatment should first focus on diet control, with an average of about 6 ounces of staple food per day, more vegetables can be consumed, and sugary foods should be avoided. It is recommended that the patient check pre-meal and post-meal blood sugar levels, as well as urine sugar and glycated hemoglobin, and use blood sugar-lowering medication as prescribed by the doctor.
