The 35-year-old Xiao Li is considered to have a successful career, but he found something wrong with his postprandial blood sugar when he had a physical examination at work. At that time, the measured blood sugar was 9.8 mol/L, which was higher than the normal value in postprandial blood sugar, but it did not meet the diagnostic criteria of diabetes.
Two hours after meals, the blood sugar is 9.8mol/L, which belongs to impaired glucose tolerance, that is, it is already in pre-diabetes. Xiao Li didn't want to take medicine after seeing this situation. He thought that once he started taking hypoglycemic drugs, it would be difficult to get rid of diabetes. He wants to see if there is any way to lower blood sugar without taking medicine.
Xiao Li's situation is actually not complicated. Because young people have more social activities, they seldom have time to exercise. The height and weight of this meter is also 180 kg, which is a little sideways. In view of this situation of Xiao Li, the doctor did not prescribe hypoglycemic drugs, and the nutritionist also designed a conditioning plan for Xiao Li.
Three months later, Xiao Li checked his blood sugar again. Fasting blood glucose is 5.3mol/L, and blood glucose is 6.5mol/L two hours after meals. Seeing this inspection result, Xiao Li was relieved. Xiao Li's situation can be said to have reversed diabetes and let himself escape from the clutches of diabetes.
Xiao Li has changed a lot in these three months. What did Xiao Li do to get his blood sugar back to normal level and stay away from diabetes without taking medicine?
When Xiao Li interviewed a dietitian for the first time, the dietitian formulated a diet conditioning method for Xiao Li according to Xiao Li's situation, and the most important content in the plan was to let Xiao Li lose weight and reduce the weight and body fat rate.
Xiao Li's condition is impaired glucose tolerance. At this time, diet conditioning and exercise conditioning are more important. Obesity will reduce the sensitivity of insulin and cause insulin resistance.
Exercise therapy also plays an important role in the treatment of diabetes. The sensitivity of insulin can be enhanced through exercise. Long-term persistent exercise can not only reduce weight, but also lower blood sugar. During these three months, Xiao Li has been insisting on the combination of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and insisted on exercising 1~2 hours every day.
While insisting on exercise, Xiao Li also adjusted her diet according to the nutritionist's suggestion, reduced the amount of drinks she drank, put down her favorite juice and ate seven or eight full meals. Even though time was tight in the morning, I didn't forget to have breakfast.
Xiao Li, who once had no meat to eat, began to increase the intake of vegetables every day, especially green leafy vegetables. As for the choice of meat food, pork is replaced by chicken breast with a little firewood flavor, and white flour steamed bread is also replaced by coarse grains.
With the change of diet and the increase of exercise, Xiao Li's weight dropped from 180 kg to 150 kg in three months, and the swollen general's belly disappeared, and the whole person's mental outlook also changed greatly. Fasting blood glucose and blood glucose two hours after meals also returned to normal levels.
In fact, at this stage of pre-diabetes, blood sugar can be restored to normal level through diet conditioning and exercise conditioning, without taking drugs, but pre-diabetes is ignored by everyone. Pre-diabetes is an important stage in the development of diabetes, which can reverse blood sugar and reduce the risk of diabetes.
If we ignore the importance of pre-diabetes, the risk of turning into diabetes is high. Once it develops into diabetes, it means that it will be accompanied by diabetes for life. Diabetes is not terrible, but various complications caused by diabetes. Pre-diabetes, I also hope to attract your attention.
