Disease Introduction
Disease Introduction
For newly diagnosed obese patients with diabetes, glucose-lowering drugs with weight-reducing effects, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, are used. This is combined with dietary intervention, formulating a low-sugar, low-fat, high-fiber diet plan to control caloric intake. For exercise, a combination of aerobic and resistance training is customized based on the patient's physical capacity to enhance metabolism, improve insulin resistance, and ultimately achieve diabetes reversal, reducing or even completely discontinuing glucose-lowering medications.

A Small Burn Wound Nearly Led to Amputation! "Diabetic Foot" Patients Should Be Aware of These Danger Signals
-
Patient Profile
A 74-year-old male
-
Chief Complaints
He has had diabetes and hypertension for over 10 years, a 50-year smoking history, underwent cardiac stent surgery 2 years ago, and was found to have multiple atherosclerotic plaques in the lower extremity arteries 7 months ago. A hot water bottle burn led to a soft tissue infection of the foot.
-
Treatment Process
Led by Professor Pei Jianhao, Director of the Endocrinology Department, a multidisciplinary team including experts from Vascular Intervention, Orthopedics, and the Wound & Ostomy Clinic jointly formulated and implemented the treatment plan.
-
Technical Highlights
Through multidisciplinary collaboration, precise staging treatment was performed for the patient's complex condition. First, vascular reconstruction was performed to restore blood circulation, creating conditions for wound healing. Then, comprehensive treatment was administered, effectively avoiding the risk of amputation.
-
Therapeutic Outcomes
The wound gradually developed fresh granulation tissue, blood circulation improved significantly, and amputation was successfully avoided.
