Low insulin secretion is associated with a risk of diabetes. The main role of insulin is to promote the oxidative breakdown of sugar and facilitate the conversion of sugar into fat or glycogen, the overall effect is to play a role in lowering blood glucose, so when insulin secretion is too low, it will lead to the inhibition of the path of glucose, so that the body’s blood glucose is elevated, if long-term failure to recover, it may lead to diabetes.
Patients with low insulin secretion are advised to visit the hospital to improve blood glucose related tests, such as glucose tolerance test, glycated hemoglobin, c-peptide secretion, etc., to clarify the body’s blood glucose level. If there is an increase in blood glucose or impaired glucose tolerance, as well as a clear diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, patients should be actively treated with drugs or insulin to lower blood glucose. The patient’s blood glucose should be monitored closely during treatment, and the dosage of medication and insulin should be adjusted according to blood glucose fluctuations.
Patients with reduced insulin secretion or diabetes should also pay attention to their diabetic diet, avoiding greasy, spicy, and cold foods, minimizing sugar intake, eating less snacks, avoiding overeating, eating regular meals, and getting more exercise and outdoor activities.
