Dr. Zhao Lianli
Diabetes occurs due to impaired pancreatic function in glucose metabolism. In severe cases, the pancreas has completely lost its ability to metabolize glucose, necessitating exogenous insulin administration to maintain normal glucose metabolism in the body. The optimal treatment for diabetes includes taking antihyperglycemic medications or administering insulin injections, along with dietary management—specifically, limiting intake of high-sugar foods.
