The doctor said he was afraid of being dependent on insulin for addiction. Doctors in view of the blood sugar 10mmol/L, while a variety of complications of diabetes, it is recommended that insulin treatment, but Master Zhang resolutely unwilling, saying that he is afraid of injection addiction dependence on insulin, Master Zhang’s son is still a senior engineer, also refused to use insulin, and said that his neighbors since the insulin can not! Zhang’s daughter-in-law, a nurse, is also against using insulin now, on the grounds that Zhang is not a type 1 diabetic! After repeated lectures from the diabetes specialist, Zhang and his family finally agreed to insulin treatment and were discharged from the hospital with good blood sugar control. This shows how appalling the “foolishness” in the battle against sugar is and how serious the psychological insulin resistance is! Why are there still so many people who do not understand insulin injections and believe that once insulin is injected, they will become dependent on it and only take glucose-lowering drugs and only take insulin when they really can’t? One of the reasons for this misconception is that the medical community has given diabetes a very misleading name, namely “insulin-dependent diabetes” and “non-insulin-dependent diabetes”. In recent years, the international medical community has abandoned these misleading names for diabetes. Strictly speaking, insulin is not a medicine, but a physiological hormone secreted by the body itself. In fact, everyone cannot live without insulin, without which the body would not be able to complete its metabolism, and life would be unsustainable. Before the introduction of insulin, type 1 diabetic patients could not escape a tragic death. It is because of the clinical use of insulin that diabetes has become a curable disease. Insulin is a normal hormone in the body, and normal people produce and secrete large amounts of insulin every day to achieve blood sugar stability. Type 1 diabetic patients cannot produce insulin by themselves, so they need to be treated with external insulin for life. Type 2 diabetes is relatively insulin deficient in the body, so at first oral hypoglycemic drugs can be used to promote the production and action of insulin in the human body, but then more than half of them can be stimulated by long-term drugs, and the human insulin function will fail, and then it is necessary to treat with external insulin. Therefore, the need for insulin therapy should be determined by the needs of the disease, not by the use of insulin, which leads to insulin dependence. In the case of type 2 diabetes, the toxic side effects of long-term heavy use of hypoglycemic drugs are one of the major causes of diabetic complications, such as leukopenia, liver and kidney damage, and digestive system dysfunction caused by long-term oral hypoglycemic drugs can lead to various complications. Long-term low-sugar diets often fail to maintain normal human needs and result in weakness, low immunity, and nutritional deficiencies are also important causes of various complications. Therefore, many guidelines for the prevention and treatment of diabetes also recommend that patients with type 2 diabetes whose blood glucose is not controlled by oral medication should start insulin therapy early.
