Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners did not allow diabetics to take medication for a long period of time because there was no relevant testing equipment in ancient times, and there was no diagnosis of hypertension in ancient times.

Diabetes and hypertension are lifestyle diseases, and high-calorie diets, low activity levels, and stress are the most important reasons for the development of these two diseases.

China's ancient rich people are also many, powerful people living an extravagant life, there may be high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases, such as the ancient celebrities, literary and military strategy of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the obscenity of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty are diabetic, poetry saint Du Fu, "closed eyes for more than ten years, the river does not quench the thirst of" the symptoms of the modern people, who can compare. "A song of phoenix, holding a beautiful woman" Sima Xiangru over-nutrition, lack of exercise, of course, is also diabetes.

Diabetics have sugar in their urine, which can be felt by means of tasting; there were no sphygmomanometers in the old days, and I would guess that the ancient Chinese diagnosis of high blood pressure came many years later than diabetes.

Without the appropriate examination equipment, of course, the basis of treatment is the patient's symptoms. The patient feels unwell and seeks medical attention from a doctor, who will then diagnose the pulse and prescribe a prescription.

But diabetics and hypertensives do you have symptoms when you have elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, and when you were diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension, did you go to the doctor because of obvious symptoms?

I guess most people are diagnosed because of checkups, by taking blood pressure and checking blood sugar!

So that's the ancient reason why diabetics don't take their medication long term, because as soon as the symptoms lessen or go away maybe they stop taking the medication, but their blood sugar doesn't return to normal.

This is also the Sui Yang emperor although holding the power of life and death, but gradually "shape withered bones, the doctor exhausted the means are no good effect" of the reason. Du Fu often have indigestion phenomenon, also existed diabetic gastroparesis.

Modern western medicine through various means of examination, examination found that blood glucose, blood pressure in the discontinuation of treatment drugs, even if there is no symptom has blood glucose, blood pressure rise, it is necessary to long-term use of drugs to maintain the stability of blood glucose, blood pressure. This is also the result of the development of science and technology, and the basis for the national health and medical insurance departments to recognize diabetes and hypertension as chronic diseases.

I am Dr. Sun, pay attention to Dr. Sun talk about sugar, continue to learn about quality health sugar control knowledge, attention to the message must be replied!

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are common chronic diseases whose specific pathogenesis is still unclear. Under the current medical conditions, long-term medication is generally required to stabilize the control of blood pressure and blood glucose, reduce the occurrence of complications, improve the quality of life, and improve the prognosis.

Hypertension is a syndrome characterized by persistent elevation of blood pressure levels above the normal range and can be accompanied by complications in target organs, such as the heart, brain and kidneys, and once diagnosed, it should be treated by a doctor in a timely manner. Hypertension includes two major categories: primary and secondary, in which secondary hypertension has a clear cause and can even be cured after active treatment of the underlying disease, and thus does not necessarily require long-term medication. As for primary hypertension, which is the most common type of hypertension, there is no cure yet, and it usually requires long-term lifestyle improvement and regular medication.

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease, which is caused by various reasons of insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance of peripheral tissues, once diagnosed, language long-term treatment, especially type 1 diabetes mellitus, due to the absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion, and even need long-term insulin replacement therapy. As for the most common type 2 diabetes, you need to pay attention to reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, and under the guidance of the doctor reasonable medication, if necessary, insulin replacement therapy.

We should correctly understand that long-term treatment is to stably control blood pressure and blood glucose to reach the standard, reduce the occurrence of target organ complications such as heart, brain and kidney and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, so as to improve the quality of life and improve the prognosis. We must not be biased, so as not to delay the condition and cause irreversible consequences.

What many people lack is not the ability to think independently, but simply lack of "brains"! In the rapid spread of medical knowledge today, there are still many people are not willing to take medication for hypertension, diabetes and long-term adherence, but also for this reason to let you adhere to the medication of the doctors with a variety of conspiracy theories! This is a very good gimmick and excuse, because all the things that are labeled as conspiracy theories, for which the revelry and cheer, are those who have been cut leeks of those people!

I. Why does hypertensive diabetes require lifelong medication?

Most of the hypertension and diabetes require lifelong medication, and only a small percentage of them can be cured or even eliminated due to certain special circumstances. But it is clear that high blood pressure and diabetes are like our age, we can't do anything about our increasing age, all we can do is to keep our face young as long as possible. The same is true of hypertension and diabetes, we can not cure him, so we work hard to keep our blood pressure and blood sugar under control, because as long as we control our blood pressure and blood sugar, we can live long enough and live well enough as normal people do! I'm afraid that's why hypertension and diabetes require long-term medication!

Second, what will happen if you don't take your medication?

Many people ask me what happens when you don't take medication for hypertensive diabetes. The truth is that even with medication, diabetes and hypertension end up in the same place, with most of the accidents occurring in the complications of hypertensive diabetes. And since the end is more or less the same, why do you need to take medication? The reason is very simple, taking medication can make us out of the complications of the time delayed longer, should have been 5 years to appear complications, now because of taking medication 10 years to appear complications. And it allows us to have a better quality of life, and the various symptoms caused by high blood sugar and blood pressure will be reduced because of taking medication. The consequence of not taking the medication is that it allows us to end our high quality of life faster, or even end our young lives.

Third, what is the purpose of conspiracy theorists?

One may ask, what about the psychology of the people who put forward these conspiracy theories? There is always an excuse or reason that will convince and there is always an interest that will wander into these conspiracy theories. I also wonder what these people are after, but there are just people who believe it! But if these people get sick and develop high blood pressure and diabetes, I am sure they will take medication and injections faster than anyone else because they know very well that their conspiracy theories are just to fool those people who are cut off from the leeks, and they themselves will not be so stupid as to insist on not taking any medication or injections!

[Professional doctor to answer your questions

People who ask such questions should be those who do not want to take hypoglycemic and antihypertensive drugs, and hope to treat diabetes and hypertension through diet and exercise or by using traditional Chinese medicine. For diet and exercise and Chinese medicine treatment, we do not deny their role in the treatment of diseases, such as controlling diet can reduce the source of blood sugar, strengthening exercise can increase the body's utilization of blood sugar, promote the contraction of the heart and blood vessels to reduce vascular pressure, and improve the coordination of the body's various metabolisms through the regulation of traditional Chinese medicine, etc., but these measures can not change the cause of diabetes and hypertension, and we still need the help of Western medicine to better control blood glucose and blood pressure. However, these measures cannot change the causes of diabetes and hypertension, and western medicine is still needed to control blood sugar and blood pressure better.

In a word, it is not Western medicine that makes people with diabetes and hypertension take medication for the rest of their lives, but rather, how can we understand that the diseases of diabetes and hypertension themselves cannot be separated from the help of Western medicine?

For example, the root cause of diabetes lies in the damage and partial apoptosis of insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cells, which are not regenerative once apoptotic, and the fundamental measure to control blood glucose is to maximize the regulation of blood glucose by using the existing insufficient amount of insulin, and the mechanism of action of all antihyperglycemic drugs is to work accordingly.

Since diabetes is a progressive disease, with the prolongation of the disease itself the number of islet cells will continue to decrease, insulin secretion will be less and less, and ultimately have to rely on direct supplementation of insulin to control blood glucose, which is the reason that most people with a disease duration of more than ten or twenty years need insulin injections in order to control blood glucose.

For example, the cause of hypertension is not yet completely clear, but the mechanism that causes hypertension is the contraction of the heart, the hardening of the blood vessels, and the total amount of blood, and when the problem develops to a certain extent, it is not possible to fundamentally solve the problem by relying only on diet and exercise or traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also necessary to target the use of specially developed Western medicine to change the problem.

You should know that the current use of hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs are based on diabetes, hypertension occurs in a certain part of the development of the targeted very strong, after taking the control of blood glucose, blood pressure is very obvious, and high blood glucose, high blood pressure on the blood vessels of the damage occurs all the time, timely control of the standard in order to avoid the occurrence of these consequences, the doctor is only in accordance with the situation of the selection of a more suitable hypoglycemic drugs antihypertensive drugs only! Only in this way can your blood sugar and blood pressure be controlled to the standard.

In addition, the current research and study confirmed that there is no Chinese medicine can be like Western medicine to control blood glucose, blood pressure to play an immediate effect, and high blood sugar and high blood pressure and must be controlled, and the earlier the control of the standard benefit will be greater. Therefore, it is your own condition that determines that you must take Western medicine for life, not the doctor who makes people with diabetes and high blood pressure take medicine for life.

In short, whether you want to take medication for a long period of time is determined by your condition, which your doctor can help you with; whether you can stick to your medication is determined by yourself, which no one can help you with.

I hope this answer can help you, welcome to click on the attention and leave a message, together to learn and exchange more health knowledge.

This can only mean that western medicine simply cannot cure hypertension and diabetes. The longer the medication is taken, the more side effects it brings. If you don't treat them, you can't, so it's a hopeless choice.

It is best to use Chinese medicine for chronic diseases, and herbal treatment is fundamental.

First of all, correct you a name, Western medicine has long been dead, you should be talking about the world is being passed by the modern medicine, so that the two diseases lifelong medication is because the cause of the disease is not known can only use some drugs to control the temporary, then I have to ask you what medicine to find the cause of the disease to take a few times of medicine can be cured and will not be relapsed?

It is a certainty and a necessity that diabetes and high blood pressure require long-term medication. The reason why many people are unable to understand this is also due to the fact that they do not understand how the medications used to treat these diseases work. Let's talk about it below.

Lowering blood pressure is like treating water

Let's start with high blood pressure. We can imagine the human body as the earth and the blood vessels as crisscrossing rivers. As the climate changes, heavy rains occur frequently and the water level rises, it will wash out the river channels, that is, our blood vessels. That's when we need to treat the water, which means controlling our blood pressure.

If we cannot fundamentally change the rainy climate, we can only start by diverting the flow of water. The same principle applies to high blood pressure medication. It cannot "cure" high blood pressure at its root, but it can control it. For water treatment, we can widen the river, diversion and so on, hypertension drugs are also divided into diuretics, angiotensin inhibitors, beta blockers, calcium antagonists) and alpha-blockers and so on several categories, are through different channels to control the blood pressure to maintain at a normal and stable level, to prevent blood pressure is too high on the human body to cause harm.

The river has to be repaired every year, and the medicine has to be taken every day.

Is something like digging a river channel a once-and-for-all solution? Of course not, as the water flows, the river will silt up and the dam will collapse, which is something that requires long-term maintenance. The same goes for taking antihypertensive medication. It's not like you don't have to take it once your blood pressure is under control; it's also a long-term maintenance process. And antihypertensive drugs stop and stop eating, but more harm to the human body, so call on the patient must not stop their own medication!

。

The same goes for glucose-lowering medications, which control blood sugar, not cure diabetes.

Many people will say, that said half a day high blood pressure and diabetes can not be cured by medicine ah, strictly speaking yes. In fact, we human beings have not conquered the disease and more than these two, so we have to go a long way. Thankfully, for hypertension and diabetes, we at least have medications that can control them, slow the progression of the disease, and reduce its damage. So I hope you can make good use of these medications and make sure you take them on time and take responsibility for your health.

To cure the disease, but also to "maintain" the disease

In addition, for patients with these chronic diseases, the daily "maintenance" is also very important, to maintain a good state of mind and healthy habits.

Thank you, I hope you all have a healthy body and I hope my answers are helpful.

That's right, Western medicine really can not cure hypertension and diabetes can only take long-term medication to suppress control symptoms, because hypertension and diabetes are organic lesions now accounted for when there is no medicine can cure the medium-term chronic organic lesions, Chinese medicine is even more bullshit. Believe in science, it will be solved.

Don't look at the Chinese medicine practitioners now all the time blowing this can cure that can cure, in fact, there is no use, before is a terminal disease. Nowadays, there are a lot of brain-damaged people who have been delayed by Chinese medicine practitioners, and even a lot of people who have been delayed by Chinese medicine practitioners went to see Western medical practitioners when their situation was in a mess, and then they not only did not appreciate the Western medical practitioners for saving their lives, but also blamed the Western medical practitioners for the high cost. Do not think about when the disease is mild medication can control the disease, have to see a Chinese medicine, to the stroke how not to see a Chinese medicine, to call an ambulance to rescue.

Western medicine knows how to lower blood pressure, but does not know why the blood pressure is high, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, so you have to take medication for life.

For example: a person's blood pressure is persistently high, taking long-term antihypertensive drugs, this kind of ineffective for that kind of, the effect is not recognized. My four diagnosis did not find the problem, his wife said I understand, this person failed in business, creditors every day to block the door, resulting in anxiety, sleepless nights, how blood pressure is not high? So the best antihypertensive drug for him is a large amount of money falling from the sky.
