High blood sugar is a symptom.

There are many reasons for the symptoms of high blood sugar, some of which require insulin treatment, while others can be controlled by psychological and dietary modifications.

Thus, when your blood sugar is high, don't be in a hurry to find out what causes it to be high, and then you can adjust your blood sugar accordingly.

The following are common causes of high blood sugar.

Reason 1: Excessive intake of carbohydrates

Diet has a lot to do with blood sugar. The basic component that builds carbohydrates is the sugar molecule. If you consume too many carbohydrates, it is easy to make the blood sugar in the body rise.

In this regard, we need to reasonably control carbohydrate intake (eat less food such as candy and cake, which are located at the top of the pyramid) and eat a balanced diet.

Cause 2: Long-term psychological stress

Stress restricts the body's ability to release insulin (the hormone that lowers blood sugar in the body), allowing glucose to build up in the blood. If you are psychologically stressed for a long period of time, your blood sugar levels will also be high.

In this regard, we can try meditation, yoga, deep breathing and other ways to release mental stress. If you can't get rid of the stress, you need to seek help from a psychiatrist.

Cause 3: Trauma inflammation infection

Trauma inflammation infection, easy to increase the content of certain hormones (such as cortisol and adrenaline). These hormones counteract the action of insulin and increase the body's glucose, causing blood sugar levels to rise.

In this regard, we need to take the advice of our treating physicians and actively participate in the treatment.

Cause 4: Type II Diabetes

The main treatment for type II diabetes is insulin, dietary changes and regular exercise with the doctor's permission.

The first two methods are basically explained in detail by the doctor, so here we will focus on regular exercise. Regular exercise helps the body to burn off sugar, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and improves insulin sensitivity. People with high insulin sensitivity need only a relatively small amount of insulin to keep their blood sugar levels in the normal range. But whether or not you can exercise needs to be cleared by your primary care physician first.

Why do I need my doctor's permission?

The main reason is that it's risky for some people with significantly elevated blood sugar to exercise.

According to the China Diabetes Exercise Guidelines,for patients with markedly elevated blood glucose, more than 16.7 mmol/L, especially those with positive urine ketones, exercise is not recommended for the time being, and should wait until blood glucose is stabilized and ketones have disappeared before exercising; for those who have markedly elevated hypoglycemia, or have large fluctuations in blood glucose,with an episode of glucose less than 4.0 mmol/L, should not exercise temporarily, should wait until blood glucose stabilization before exercise.
