Treatment of anemia in diabetic patients

When anemia occurs in diabetes, it is important to identify what the cause of the anemia is. This includes conditions caused by other systemic diseases in combination, or by diabetes itself, as well as by glucose-lowering medications. The primary cause of the disease and the type of anemia should be treated accordingly. 1.Actively treat the primary diseases that cause anemia, such as anti-infection, anti-tuberculosis, treatment of peptic ulcer and menstrual disorders. 2.Adjust the dietary structure and hypoglycemic drugs, increase the intake of protein and fresh vegetables appropriately. If it is determined that the anemia is related to taking certain hypoglycemic drugs, other hypoglycemic drugs or insulin should be used in time. 3.According to the different types of anemia, targeted treatment should be given.
