It is a misconception that diabetes cannot be stopped by taking insulin. The treatment of diabetes includes diet and exercise therapy, oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin therapy. The treatment method of diabetes needs to be based on the patient’s age, the type of diabetes, the degree of elevated blood sugar and the complications, and the appropriate treatment plan should be chosen under the guidance of the doctor. Insulin is an important method of blood sugar control for diabetic patients, and it is a normally present blood sugar-lowering hormone in the body. Therefore, insulin is not addictive and there is no such thing as insulin that cannot be stopped once it is administered. In some diabetes types, such as type 1 diabetes, the patients themselves have severe insulin deficiency and pancreatic beta cell failure. type 1 diabetes is characterized by lifelong dependence on insulin therapy, so the dependence on insulin in type 1 diabetes patients is not due to insulin, but to the type of diabetes. As long as the islet function of diabetic patients is still good, after a period of insulin injection, the function of pancreatic beta cells will be restored to some extent and insulin can be discontinued.
