Although gastroscopy is invasive, the vast majority of patients can tolerate it and can effectively detect the condition through examination. In general, fasting blood glucose is less than 10 mmol/L, and polyp removal can be performed. However, if fasting blood glucose is 10 mmol/L higher, a comprehensive evaluation of the patient is required to determine whether the polyp can be removed.
If there is stomach discomfort, go to the hospital in time for examination, find the cause, and then use some drugs under the guidance of the doctor to treat, usually in terms of diet for spicy and irritating food to eat less, can not overeat, chew slowly.
If there are patients who need to have their polyps removed, polyps can be removed after the blood sugar has stabilized.
