Zhang Wei is a 35-year-old IT engineer. Recently, he noticed that he often had a dry mouth, drank a lot, urinated a lot, and lost weight inexplicably. I decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.
At the hospital, Zhang Wei anxiously awaited the results of the examination. The doctor walked into the consultation room with the test sheet and his face was solemn: "Mr. Zhang, your fasting blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin are significantly elevated, and you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. "
Zhang Weiwei was taken aback: "Doctor, isn't diabetes curable? I heard that as long as you control your diet, exercise more, and take medicine on time, your blood sugar can return to normal levels." "
The doctor sighed: "Mr. Zhang, you must understand that diabetes is a chronic, progressive metabolic disease.
What we can do is to control blood sugar as much as possible and delay the onset of complications through comprehensive treatment measures. "
Zhang Wei was frustrated: "Then what else can I do? I don't want to lose my normal quality of life, and I don't want to go bankrupt because of complications." "
The doctor reassured: "Don't be discouraged. Although there is no cure for diabetes, it can still be well managed through regular medication, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and regular check-ups. ”
Zhang Wei's experience reminds us that in the face of some incurable chronic diseases, we need to rationally understand the significance and limitations of treatment.
In fact, in addition to diabetes, there are many common chronic diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, advanced liver cancer, liver cirrhosis, etc., which cannot be completely cured.
However, as long as we adhere to scientific treatment and management, we can control the progression of the disease to the greatest extent, maintain a better quality of life, and avoid or delay the occurrence of serious complications.
Of course, in the face of an incurable disease, we will inevitably feel fear, helplessness, and even despair.
But we should see hope and possibility. Medicine is constantly advancing, bringing more choices and opportunities to patients.
At the same time, by changing bad habits and self-managing the disease, it is possible for us to delay the course of the disease, reduce the symptoms, and improve the quality of life.
Therefore, we should have a positive and optimistic attitude and a scientific and rational attitude to understand and fight diseases. Don't blindly believe in the secret recipe of "cure-all", which will only delay the disease and increase the economic and psychological burden.
The meaning of life should not only be related to whether the disease is cured or not, but also how we can ignite the hope and fighting spirit of life under the haze of disease.
At the same time, prevention is better than cure, which is especially important for many chronic diseases that cannot be cured.
Write at the end
In the face of an incurable disease, we may experience confusion, pain, and struggle. But as long as we have hope and are willing to act, no difficulty is invincible.
As Dr. Zhang Wei said, the key is to build confidence in long-term treatment, with a positive and optimistic attitude, and fight the disease to the end in a scientific and standardized way.
Perhaps, those chronic diseases that are difficult to cure will eventually become a precious experience and wealth in our lives.
