The same hypoglycemic drugs, the same diabetic patients, but we have seen that the efficacy of different patients are far apart, the reason for this is that some patients, although using drugs, but not the right way, resulting in money also spent, blood sugar is still jumping up and down, complications are still lined up to come, in the clinic, often encounter this type of patients, frowning, eyes on the blood glucose value on the laboratory test, “Why do old Zhao take this to be so effective? The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. And I ate it, but my blood sugar did not move at all, and even ate more and more high?” Carefully ask these patients, will find that these patients often have some common characteristics, accidentally, into the misconceptions of diabetes medication. The first misconception: do not trust the doctor to listen to friends With the increase in the incidence of diabetes, diabetes knowledge is also gradually popularized, there are many diabetic patients who have the disease, do not believe in the treatment plan developed by the doctor, but rather follow the next diabetic friends of the medication program, do not know that the individual differences of diabetic patients, some are mainly insulin resistance, some are mainly pancreatic islet cell function defects, and, the length of the disease The goal of glucose-lowering treatment varies with different duration of disease, complications and comorbidities. The treatment of diabetes mellitus should be individualized scientific and rational treatment, i.e., targeted individualized treatment plan for each patient’s specific situation and condition characteristics. The treatment of diabetes should be individualized, scientific and rational, i.e., individualized treatment plan for each patient’s specific condition and characteristics. One of a thousand people cannot achieve good clinical results, but may cause damage to the body. Misconception 2: Blindly pursuing the “cure” A considerable number of patients are obsessed with the pursuit of the so-called special drugs that can “remove the root of diabetes”, and some even stop the effective treatment measures at this stage when they have taken certain treatment measures and their blood sugar has been well controlled. Some of them even stop the current effective treatment measures and look for the so-called “panacea” that can cure all diseases or remove the root of the disease. Some think that western medicine can only treat the surface, while Chinese medicine can remove the root. In fact, the comprehensive diabetes treatment that includes diet, exercise and medicine is the practical summary and wisdom of human beings fighting against diabetes, and it is a method that has been proven to be effective by countries all over the world. Some friends blindly resist insulin, thinking that insulin becomes “insulin-dependent” after hitting the body, which is a big misunderstanding. In fact, insulin not only has the benefit of strong glucose-lowering, but also can protect islet cells and restore islet function for patients with short duration of disease, and even achieve the “miraculous” effect of good blood sugar control by stopping all hypoglycemic drugs and simple lifestyle intervention. In clinical practice, when doctors prescribe insulin for patients, they will consider the patient’s condition, and due to the inconvenience of insulin use, doctors generally do not prefer to recommend patients to use insulin, but after analyzing the condition, they will recommend insulin only when they think that using insulin is more beneficial to patients. Myth 4: Medication is not on time Most glucose-lowering drugs are related to meals, and some patients are busy or sloppy, often forget to take their medication within the prescribed time, for example, after eating a meal before remembering that acarbose (bactrim or carboplatin) has not been eaten, and such drugs are not effective after meals, or after playing insulin, can not find a meal to eat, in these cases, not only affect the efficacy, there is a risk of hypoglycemia. Myth 5: Eat and drink both as usual We often say that diet and exercise therapy is the cornerstone of diabetes treatment, imagine, if the foundation is not laid, how can you do a good building? Some patients, especially young patients, often do not pay attention to lifestyle control, take drugs at the same time, as usual, eat and drink, in this case, it is difficult to control blood sugar, for example, obese patients who do not pay attention to weight loss, the effect of insulin and insulin-producing agents will be poor. Therefore, to remind the majority of patients, diabetes medication is a lot of attention, a more common analogy, medication is like cooking, the same ingredients and seasonings, but the taste of one in the sky, one in the ground, which has to do with the amount and fire, a good chef can choose to add the right amount of ingredients and seasonings at the right time of fire, in order to make a delicious meal, and lame chef a pot of cooking, natural taste will not Good. The reasoning behind the use of medication for diabetic patients is similar, under the doctor’s orders, medication should be used on time, not forgetting diet and exercise control, regular review and timely adjustment of medication, in order to achieve satisfactory results.
