A young man in his 20s was found to have a fasting blood sugar level close to 500 mg/dL and a triglyceride level over 4000 mg/dL during a health checkup, also revealing renal medullary calcinosis through an abdominal ultrasound. Despite knowing about his blood sugar issues, he admitted to not taking medication, leaving doctors astounded. Dr. Lu Li-ying, the deputy director of a health screening clinic, emphasized the direct link between diabetes and triglycerides with dietary habits, cautioning about the severe complications of high blood sugar and triglycerides. Highlighting the dangers of neglecting health in Taiwan's healthcare system, Dr. Lu expressed concern over individuals not taking their well-being seriously.
