Type 2 diabetes mostly requires long-term medication. Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease, which has the characteristic of not being able to be cured fundamentally, and patients need to control their blood glucose, alleviate their condition, and delay the emergence of complications by taking medication for a long period of time and so on. Patients need to monitor their blood glucose regularly and take medication as prescribed. However, some patients with type 2 diabetes have good blood glucose control through dietary control and exercise, in which case they generally do not need to take medication, monitor their blood glucose regularly, and go to the hospital regularly to review their blood glucose changes. Whether type 2 diabetes patients need long-term medication should be decided by a professional doctor after assessing the condition, and it is recommended that type 2 diabetes patients follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
