Misunderstandings diabetes diagnosis

In clinical work and found that the vast majority of diabetic patients with the disease years or decades, only done fasting glucose, glucose checks, it has been confirmed that the diabetes began taking sugar-lowering drugs, this is actually wrong. Modern medicine, diabetes is a metabolic and endocrine disorders. Due to the relative or absolute insulin caused by the shortage of sugar, fat and protein metabolism spinning disorders. Glucose, glucose only increased the standard diabetes, and the fundamental "islet dysfunction." Therefore, the diagnosis of diabetes is the objective indicators of insulin release test, C-peptide stimulation test, conditional can also check the rate of insulin receptor binding. Through the above, the test can confirm or type 1 diabetes type 2, the stability condition, the condition is mild, moderate or severe. for the treatment and prognosis play an important role as a guide. Needs to be noted is this : glucose tolerance test and insulin release test, C-peptide stimulation test must act simultaneously. This ease of diagnosis controlled study, the exact understanding of his illness to avoid misdiagnosed. In addition, the amount of glucose sugar renal threshold control, pathological situations urine sugar and blood glucose often not in proportion. Some patients according to the inspection glucose "+" to use as a basis for adjusting the number of hypoglycemic agents and insulin dose on the basis of very dangerous.
