With type 2 diabetes can be much longer?


Diabetes is a chronic disease, is a lifelong disease that requires people to long-term control of disease treatment. For long to live either in patients with type 2 diabetes, glycemic control is the basic factors of the patients longevity determinants. All diabetic patients to want to live longer, long-term blood sugar stable is key!
Admissions have had such a patient, the beginning of the laboratory blood glucose over 10 when, with disapproval, gave him the medicine of the month the results of eating a half a year, during which verses and eat, remember to eat, blood sugar has always fluctuated. Later, the impression which may have more than two years did not see the patient, suddenly one day, he appeared again in my clinic. But his face gaunt, frail, middle-aged kind of Manner has been difficult to see from him. Conversation, that the past two years his blood sugar control has been bad, and the eyes to see things more and more blurred, physical effort, urine protein in the urine. He said the past two years has been on the disease not too got the idea to eat do not pay attention, treatment and screening is not timely. Now would like to take to the hospital for treatment. Listened to his words, I can not help but be filled with emotion. It is a pity ah. Later, I gave him a comprehensive inspection, but also to develop a new comprehensive treatment program. I secretly he figured, according to the current situation, his subsequent annual treatment costs are at least more than 4000 yuan.
In general, a medium-disease patients with an average year the total cost of between $ 1000-1500. This is the most ordinary families can afford. Course, the cost depends on the disease found sooner or later, the disease severity, treatment is timely and norms, and the doctor's medical ethics and medical standards. Such as the patient's condition, light a day, only a small amount of drugs can control the disease, natural that end spent less. If the disease to late, heart, brain, kidney and other complications have, the cost is naturally higher.
Not only away from the danger of complications, can also reduce the burden on families, and continuously improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes to control blood sugar, diabetic patients should be aware of, purely dependent on drugs and insulin is to not let patients completely away from the complications of purpose must be for patients with impaired islet cells, from the root cause to conduct a thorough treatment, better stay away from the hazards of diabetic complications.
