Diabetes may be related to genetics, immunity, obesity and other factors. The treatment of diabetes includes diet and exercise therapy, medication (metformin, etc.), and surgery (bariatric surgery).
1. Diet and exercise treatment: over-obese people should reduce their own weight, avoid eating foods with high sugar content, eat small meals, reasonably control calories, avoid irregular eating, and do not overeat; appropriate exercise, but avoid prolonged strenuous exercise.
2. Medication: Use hypoglycemic drugs as prescribed by the doctor, such as acarbose, metformin, glibenclamide, selegiline, insulin and other drugs.
3. Surgery: For obesity-related type 2 diabetes patients with excessive obesity, surgical treatment, such as bariatric surgery, can be considered to improve obesity through weight loss.
Diabetic patients should follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
