Patients with diabetes mellitus should be treated with glucose-lowering drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as insulin, metformin, acarbose, etc., and other classes of drugs are also needed for targeted treatment when there are complications.
Patients with type 1 diabetes can use insulin for glucose-lowering treatment; patients with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs first, such as metformin, acarbose, glipizide, etc. If oral hypoglycemic drugs still can not control the blood glucose, you can use insulin treatment. In addition, patients with diabetes also need to do a good job of diet control and physical exercise.
For patients with diabetes complications, in addition to controlling blood glucose, it is also necessary to use drugs for the treatment of complications, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy can use lipoic acid anti-oxidative stress treatment, methylcobalamin nutritional nerves, etc.; diabetic macrovascular lesions can use aspirin, clopidogrel antiplatelet aggregation, and atorvastatin calcium lipid lowering and so on.
Patients diagnosed with diabetes should be treated with medication under the guidance of a doctor, and should not use medication blindly.
