What is the best way to get the best out of your diabetes?
The Second Artillery General Hospital Endocrinology Li Quan Quan: First of all, the pure Chinese medicine is no clear role in lowering sugar, as long as it is a clear role in lowering sugar "Chinese medicine" inside certainly contain Western medicine ingredients. Secondly, all hypoglycemic drugs (including insulin) have the function of lowering blood glucose, and by lowering blood glucose, the purpose of reducing complications can be achieved. All hypoglycemic drugs (including insulin) have not been completely proven to have the function of reducing complications in addition to lowering blood glucose, and only Metformin has partially been proven to have the function of reducing macrovascular complications in addition to lowering blood glucose. Therefore, international and national guidelines for the treatment of diabetes have made metformin the drug of choice. The same is true in our country. Thirdly, it is not that insulin treatment is superior to oral drug treatment, and it is not that oral drugs damage the liver and kidneys. In fact, oral drugs mainly can not be eaten if the liver and kidney function are not good, but when the liver function is normal, oral drugs cause very few changes in liver function. And the application of insulin can also cause weight gain and many other side effects. Thus, there is no need to change to insulin when oral medications control blood sugar well. However, if oral medications do not control your blood sugar well, you should switch to insulin in time. According to your description of the situation, you can switch to oral medication, you can metformin 0.5, three times a day as the basis, plus novaluron. Just adjust the dosage of Novaluron according to the blood sugar level. These drugs and antihypertensive drugs, aspirin will not affect each other.
