Problems similar to the above are often encountered in outpatient clinics, where the best time for blood glucose control is delayed because of listening to lay people, leading to progressive decline in islet function and accelerated progression of diabetic complications. For patients with type 1 diabetes, because oral medications are not effective for them, they have no choice but to receive insulin injections in order to survive. For type 2 diabetic patients who need to be treated with insulin, it is often a headache for many doctors to convince them to accept insulin injection therapy. The reason for this is that these people have a deep-rooted but very wrong idea: insulin is an opiate, and once you take it, you can never leave it. The main reason for this deep-rooted view is that we used to give these two types of diabetes very misleading names – “insulin-dependent diabetes” and “non-insulin-dependent diabetes “. These two inappropriate names have now gradually fallen into disuse by the medical community. In addition, misinformation and propaganda by many lay doctors are also important causes of this misconception. Insulin is the normal secretion of hormone in the human body, and normal people produce and secrete a large amount of insulin every day. type 1 diabetic patients can never produce insulin by themselves, therefore, they need to be treated with external insulin for life; type 2 diabetic patients have a relative lack of insulin in their bodies, therefore, at first, oral medication can be used to promote the production and action of human insulin, but more than half of them end up with long-term drug stimulation to make However, more than half of them eventually need to be treated with external insulin due to long-term drug stimulation and human islet failure. Therefore, insulin therapy is entirely based on the needs of the disease. After using insulin in type 2 diabetes, insulin can still be withdrawn again. The human pancreas, which has been under the stimulation of oral medication for a long time, can get a good rest after using foreign insulin, and after the function of the pancreas is restored for a period of time, some patients can still continue to receive the stimulation of medication and play the role of insulin secretion, and even for diabetes found for the first time, if the blood glucose rises significantly, after giving enough insulin intensive treatment, insulin and oral hypoglycemic medication can be stopped, and there is temporary diabetes This situation can last from 1-5 years, which has been confirmed by large studies. So please don’t talk about “insulin”, but don’t rely too much on insulin to lower your sugar, you should consult a professional doctor for the right medicine.
