Question
Is it appropriate for children with type 2 diabetes to take metformin? What potential risks might there be from taking this medication?
Answer
For children with type 2 diabetes, taking metformin is not an ideal choice and does pose certain risks. It is important to avoid arbitrary medication use and instead, treatment should be tailored to the specific condition. Here, I recommend using drugs such as Glucotrol and Rosiglitazone, which have shown more significant effects. It is advisable for patients to cultivate good living habits and dietary patterns, and to engage in appropriate physical exercise based on their own conditions, as this can effectively prevent the occurrence of the disease.
