"Sugar Friends" must stop taking oral hypoglycemic drugs. What will happen if they switch to insulin?

Generally, when blood sugar can be controlled, doctors will recommend taking some hypoglycemic drugs, but everyone's tolerance to drugs is limited. When the disease progresses to a certain extent, insulin will be used instead. Now, under what circumstances do you need to stop using hypoglycemic agents and switch to insulin?

1, according to the needs of your illness. 1 When the insulin secreted by diabetic patients is insufficient, insulin can be used.

2. When the condition of patients with type 2 diabetes deteriorates gradually, oral hypoglycemic drugs can no longer control blood sugar, that is to say, if you take hypoglycemic drugs prescribed by doctors for a period of time, you will feel that the effect is not obvious, or that it has no effect. At this time, you should ask a doctor to explain, and the doctor will judge whether to switch to insulin treatment according to your situation.

Some sugar friends think that the medicine prescribed by the doctor has no effect, and go out to buy other oral medicines without telling the doctor, which will only delay the illness and affect the later treatment effect.

3. In case of ketoacidosis and hyperosmotic coma, insulin should be used immediately regardless of 1 type or type 2 diabetes.

Therefore, patients with a history of diabetes should keep close contact with doctors, who can know your condition at any time, so that doctors can adjust the treatment plan according to the condition.

4. When diabetic patients have some complications, especially those related to microvessels, such as nephropathy and retinopathy, if the doctor makes a diagnosis and determines that it is caused by the poor effect of oral hypoglycemic drugs, then at this time, we should also consider changing to insulin therapy.

5. Other non-diabetic factors. For example, sudden abnormalities lead to elevated blood sugar, such as in the case of pregnancy, which is not suitable for oral hypoglycemic drugs. Insulin therapy should also be started at this time.
