What is important to control blood sugar? Not glucose-lowering drugs and insulin!

  In the treatment of diabetes, many people think that the use of glucose-lowering drugs and insulin is the main means of sugar control, but this is actually a misconception.  For example, the cause of obese type 2 diabetes is too much body fat leading to high insulin resistance in the body, long-term overdraft of the pancreas is caused, so those who can reduce insulin resistance glucose-lowering drugs can often play a very good effect on this type of patients, but this is “treating the symptoms but not the root cause”.  Many clinical studies have found that for obese type 2 diabetics, weight loss is often much better than glucose-lowering drugs, but because most people have difficulty losing weight, and because of the risk of weight gain from medications, it is difficult to achieve the goal through conventional methods, so weight loss metabolic surgery, which can quickly lose a lot of excess weight, is becoming the preferred treatment option for many people with diabetes. This is why weight loss metabolic surgery, which can quickly reduce a large amount of excess weight, is becoming the preferred treatment option for many people with diabetes.  However, whether it is weight loss surgery or traditional medication, a good lifestyle is required to achieve the desired treatment effect. After weight loss metabolic surgery, for example, the patient’s insulin resistance is significantly reduced, and the energy intake capacity is also reduced, creating conditions for the body to complete blood glucose regulation on its own. However, this surgery does not repair the function of the pancreas, as long as the blood sugar rises too fast, it will still exceed their own blood sugar regulation range, so even after the weight loss metabolic surgery and blood sugar is stabilized and controlled, they still need to pay more attention to their diet and try to avoid those foods with high glycemic index.  Therefore, life intervention is the most important thing in the treatment of diabetes, which is the basis of all methods of reducing sugar, and good lifestyle habits will often bring us more desirable treatment results.
