The treatment methods of diabetes include diet therapy, exercise therapy, drug therapy, etc. The specific treatment methods should be determined by the doctor according to the patient’s specific condition, physical condition, etc. There is no so-called “the most effective method”, and it is recommended that the patient follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
1. General treatment: In daily life, patients with diabetes should have reasonable dietary control, eat less sugary, greasy, cholesterol-rich foods, and consume more high-fiber foods, such as oatmeal, spinach, grapefruit and so on.
2. Exercise therapy: diabetic patients should exercise appropriately, carry out regular exercise under the guidance of a physician, gradually and persist for a long time. It is recommended to have 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
3. Medication: Commonly used medications include sulfonylureas (glibenclamide), glinides (repaglinide), biguanides (metformin), glitazones (pioglitazone). In patients with severe acute or chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, insulin may also be given by subcutaneous injection. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions for the use of medication, and need to pay attention to the adverse effects of glucose-lowering drugs during the use of medication.
Once diagnosed with diabetes, patients should consult a doctor in time and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. In addition, patients should pay attention to their diet and personal hygiene in order to prevent infections, as well as regular monitoring of blood glucose and regular checkups.
