1. If you don’t have any symptoms, you are not likely to have diabetes. Medical explanation: In China, type 2 diabetes accounts for the vast majority of patients. The onset of type 2 diabetes is insidious, and there are often no typical symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, or even no symptoms at all. Many women with diabetes can simply have vulvar itching as their first symptom and find elevated blood sugar during a gynecological visit, while many men have erectile dysfunction as their first symptom. Therefore, diabetes often comes silently and should not be taken seriously. Doctors remind: for people at high risk of type 2 diabetes (those with a family history of diabetes, those who have had gestational diabetes, those who are obese, etc.), they should test their blood sugar at least once a year. 2, x x hospitals, x x drugs can cure diabetes! Medical explanation: diabetes is mainly divided into type 1 and type 2 diabetes: type 1 is the absolute lack of insulin due to the destruction of pancreatic islet cells; type 2 is the relative lack of insulin due to insulin resistance; the radical cure for type 1 diabetes is through the promotion of islet cell regeneration or islet cell transplantation. The long-term effects of anti-rejection drugs on patients must be weighed. The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is very complex and has not yet been clearly elucidated, let alone cured. The doctor reminds: many advertisements claiming “cure for diabetes”, is not the use of patients want to cure the psychology of diabetes to get rich and what is it? 3, do not eat staple food is equal to diet control. Medical explanation: one of the main purposes of diet is to supply the energy we need to maintain physical activity, therefore, the three major nutrients – fat, carbohydrates and protein are indispensable, and according to Chinese dietary habits and characteristics, generally speaking, the proportion of carbohydrates should reach 55% – 60%, so do not eat staple foods will only So not eating staple foods will only make the ratio of the three nutrients out of balance, which will have a negative impact on the body. Doctors remind: for diabetic patients, strict control of diet is very important, but it is not simply the same as not eating staple foods. It is recommended that each diabetic patient go to the nutrition clinic for an individualized diet plan. 4, Western medicine for diabetes has a lot of side effects, especially on liver and kidney function. Medical explanation: The drugs for the treatment of diabetes are divided into five categories: sulfonylureas, biguanides, glycosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones and non-sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues, all of which have undergone strict clinical phase I to III trials before being promoted for use, and the toxic side effects have been studied very clearly. There are detailed instructions in the drug manuals on when they can be used and when they are prohibited. All of these listed drugs have no clear hepatic or renal toxicity, but high blood sugar itself can lead to a gradual decline in liver and kidney function. Therefore, long duration of diabetes patients will inevitably experience a decline in liver and kidney function, and with the effect of high blood sugar, the accumulation of drugs in the body may exceed the toxic dose. Doctors remind: many anti-diabetic “drugs” boast that they have no side effects of liver and kidney function damage, but in fact, treatment needs to be individualized.
