7. How to prevent blood sugar from rising
(1) Eat less at the next meal, get rid of snacks once or change to foods with low glycemic index (GI). Because for overweight patients with type 2 diabetes, only 5-1% weight loss can significantly improve blood sugar. Therefore, as long as the calorie intake is properly reduced, better blood sugar control can be achieved. The general experience is that reducing 15 grams of carbohydrates (about 5 grams of rice or 3 grams of steamed bread, 15 grams of apples or pears, 4 ml of milk or 3 ml of sugar-free yogurt) can reduce blood sugar by about 1.7 mmol/L.
(2) Increase the activity or do more exercise. Patients with type 2 diabetes generally get better blood sugar control by strengthening exercise. Even simple exercise, such as walking for 2 minutes every day, can effectively improve insulin resistance and lose weight as long as it persists. Studies have confirmed that after reasonable exercise, diabetic patients can indeed reduce the dosage of hypoglycemic drugs, or even completely get rid of drug treatment.
(3) Adjust the medication (increase the dosage, increase the frequency of medication or add another hypoglycemic agent). Although exercise and diet adjustment methods are economical and have few side effects. Compared with the first two methods, drugs can indeed treat hyperglycemia faster and more effectively.
(4) Self-relaxation and mood adjustment Relaxation exercises (such as deep breathing, relaxing muscles with relaxing music, etc.) can help relieve stress and make hypoglycemic therapy more effective. Learning to adjust emotions and enhance self-efficacy (people's subjective judgment on whether they can successfully carry out a certain behavior), so as to overcome the bad mentality such as fear and negativity after illness, is also helpful to control blood sugar.
(5) Actively treat other diseases (such as colds and infections). Cold, infection and other problems will cause the increase of adrenaline in the body, which will lead to the increase of blood sugar.
(6) Increase the intake of sugar-free liquid. Dehydration can also cause blood sugar to rise. People (whether they have diabetes or not) should consume about 2 ~ 3 liters of sugar-free liquid (water, drinks, soup, etc.) every day. When blood sugar rises, drinking water can not only dilute blood sugar but also avoid excessive food intake. Patients with heart disease or renal complications need to limit their fluid intake appropriately, and the details should be consulted by a doctor or dietitian. The most important strategy for hyperglycemia is prevention. This can generally be done through good self-blood glucose monitoring.
