There is no such thing as “what is the best treatment program for type 2 diabetes”. The treatment methods for type 2 diabetes include diet, exercise and medication.
1. Dietary treatment: maintain a reasonable dietary intake, the energy provided by carbohydrates in the diet accounts for 50%~60% of the total energy, proteins account for 15%~20%, and fats account for 20%~30%, and maintain a low-sugar, low-fat diet. To effectively assist in the treatment of diabetes, it is recommended that patients control the total calories, reasonable meal preparation, small meals and high fiber diet.
2. Exercise therapy: It is recommended to do aerobic exercise at least five times a week, and the duration of each exercise should be more than 30 minutes, which helps to increase the sensitivity of the body to insulin.
3. Medication: If diet and exercise cannot control blood glucose well, patients with type 2 diabetes can consider medication, including oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as metformin and acarbose, or exogenous insulin therapy.
There is no such thing as the “best treatment plan”, and type 2 diabetes should be treated under the guidance of a doctor. If diabetes induces serious complications, the consequences may be more serious, so patients need to actively control blood sugar.
