Many diabetic patients have some misconceptions about insulin, thinking that once they take insulin, they have to take insulin for life, and it will be addictive like a “drug”, and as long as their condition is not serious, even if the doctor advises them to use insulin, they will disobey, causing their condition to become serious. However, the director of Guangzhou Youdao Doctor Group, Dai Xiaojiang, tells us that these worries are completely superfluous. Insulin is a physiological hormone secreted by the human body itself, without insulin the body cannot complete the metabolism, and people cannot survive, however, the use of insulin depends entirely on the severity of the disease, in addition, by playing insulin can make the pancreatic islet beta cells get rest, more conducive to the repair of their own islets and the improvement of endocrine function, thus reducing blood sugar. Because type 1 diabetes is caused by problems with the autoimmune system, resulting in damage to the pancreatic beta cells and severe insulin secretion deficiency, it needs to be treated with insulin for life. Type 2 diabetes is mostly due to our living habits, environmental factors, including some obese people, obesity makes people resistant to insulin, resulting in insufficient insulin secretion, but the pancreatic beta cells are not damaged or partially damaged. However, some obese patients will be resistant to insulin, so that the pancreas has to keep secreting insulin, resulting in the pancreas being overloaded for a long time, and thus the islet cells are damaged. There may still be many people do not believe, so let’s look at an example of treatment with insulin: like the well-known Hollywood actress – Angelina Jolie. Jolie, she suffered from gestational diabetes during pregnancy due to nutritional imbalance, and then during pregnancy many doctors advised not to take drugs or it would affect the health of the child, so she had to choose insulin to control her blood sugar, and after the birth of her baby, her blood sugar returned to normal and then she could stop using insulin. Angelina Jolie Jolie not only gave birth to a very healthy baby, but also did not develop any dependence on insulin. However, for some obese people with type 2 diabetes, it is entirely possible to treat the diabetes with weight loss surgery and possibly get off insulin. Weight loss surgery involves creating a small gastric bursa in the upper part of the stomach to restrict food intake and absorption, thus reducing energy intake and glucose metabolic load, which not only reduces weight but also reduces insulin resistance due to fat accumulation from simple obesity, thus lowering blood sugar.
