The early stages of diabetes require a specific regimen based on the specific elevation of blood glucose and its regression after treatment.
Of course, regardless of the treatment, the most basic treatment is diet control and physical activity. The most basic treatment is diet control and physical activity. Diet control reduces the intake of sugar and physical activity accelerates the breakdown of glycogen. So physical activity and diet control are the most basic treatments for people with diabetes.
If the elevation of blood glucose is not too high, below 10 mmol/L, and the blood glucose does not reach the target by means of diet control and physical exercise for 4-6 weeks, oral hypoglycemic adjustment is recommended, and long-acting drugs are chosen as much as possible to improve patient compliance and efficacy. The commonly used drugs are metformin extended-release tablets, glibenclamide tablets, glipizide dispersible tablets, etc.
If elevated blood glucose is found to be high, it is generally recommended to choose either injectable insulin therapy or a combination intervention of insulin therapy plus oral medication. The insulin is divided into short-acting insulin, medium-acting insulin, and long-acting insulin. Short-acting insulin is generally injected before three meals according to postprandial blood sugar, and medium-acting insulin is generally recommended to be injected twice a day. Long-acting insulin is generally injected once a day based on fasting blood glucose and blood glucose levels before three meals.
