A member asked:
My partner has been diagnosed with diabetes but doesn't take medicine he smokes too and is feeling unwell should we go hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Hi. Unless going to the hospital will make him behave responsibly, take his medicine, and quit smoking, why bother? His problems are self inflicted, and treatment requires the basics from HIM of medication compliance, smoking cessation, eating healthily, exercising regularly, etc.
