Specific treatment methods can be carried out in the following ways. Health education. Every patient should fully understand diabetes and learn the skills of self-management. Medical nutrition therapy. For patients who don't understand diet and have obvious blood sugar fluctuation, dieticians are needed to help formulate personalized nutritious diet. Exercise therapy. It plays an important role in the treatment of diabetes, especially for obese patients. Exercise can increase insulin sensitivity and help them better control their weight and blood sugar. Monitor disease changes. Diabetic patients must do a good job in monitoring blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood lipid, heart, kidney, nerve and fundus, so that doctors can adjust the treatment plan in time.

At present, there are six aspects in the treatment of diabetes, namely, six chariots for treating diabetes. Diet. Diabetic patients should have a diabetic diet and choose a diabetic meal that suits their calories according to their own exercise. There are many kinds of oral drugs, including oral drugs and insulin. Metformin is the first choice if there are no special contraindications.
exercise therapy. Diabetic patients should do aerobic exercise half an hour to an hour after meals, and the amount of exercise varies from person to person. Good exercise helps to control blood sugar, weight and insulin resistance. Regular standardized blood glucose monitoring is needed. If the blood sugar is stable, the blood sugar can be tested 7 times a week, that is, before meals, 2 hours after meals and 3 times before going to bed. Diabetes education requires patients to learn the necessary knowledge about diabetes by themselves.
psychotherapy. Most diabetics have psychological problems of different degrees, such as anxiety, nervousness and depression, especially those with type 1 diabetes. Psychotherapy can improve the treatment compliance of patients. These six aspects keep up with each other and are indispensable. Only by doing these six aspects well can we better control blood sugar.
