Question
A patient has been suffering from diabetes for a long time and recently found their eyes suddenly unable to open. After intravenous treatment, there was no improvement, and blood sugar levels remained high. Asking for advice on how to handle eye inflammation symptoms and control blood sugar levels.
Answer
Firstly, a comprehensive physical examination is necessary to determine the cause and differentiate between the underlying cause of the eye disease and complications of diabetes. It is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist immediately for an eye examination and also to consult an endocrinologist to check for complications such as diabetic nephropathy or eye disease. For blood sugar levels as high as 13, systematic treatment is required to quickly lower the blood sugar to prevent the occurrence of diabetic complications, which can be severely harmful to the body. If oral medications are unable to control blood sugar, insulin therapy may be necessary.
