Should I Change My Grandfather's Diabetes Treatment Plan?
Patient's Query
I'm 24 year old, I want to ask know about diabetes treatment for my grandfather, and I'm very much of his medication and insulin doses doctor prescribed him. He is type 2 diabetes and doctor prescribed him 2 dosages of insulin daily, since then his condition have worsen very much. He often uses orals medicine before and he was far much better even though he absence his medicine and lower 1 time insulin dose daily.
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
In Type 2 diabetes, the body struggles to use insulin effectively, leading to symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Sometimes, insulin therapy can be challenging. If he felt better on oral medications, it might be worth discussing this with his doctor. Adjusting dosages or exploring alternative treatments may help improve his situation. It's crucial to closely monitor his blood sugar levels and adhere to his prescribed plan. Please ensure regular consultations with his endocrinologist for tailored advice and to discuss any concerns.
