With the improvement of our living standards, science and technology are developing continuously. Great changes have taken place in our food, clothing, housing and transportation. Nowadays, many people have developed bad living habits and eating habits. According to medical research, there are more and more people suffering from hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia and diabetes in China. Therefore, we should be vigilant, change bad habits in daily life and establish a healthy lifestyle.
1. The concept of blood sugar
By blood sugar, we actually mean the glucose content in the blood. Glucose is the power source for our human body to carry out a series of life activities. The conversion and decomposition of glucose provide energy for the body, carry out normal life operation and production activities, and ensure the blood sugar in the human body to maintain a normal balance. Medical clinic stipulates that the normal blood sugar value of human body is between 81 and 121 mg.
2. measurement of blood sugar
for the measurement of blood sugar, a blood sugar meter is usually used. Its operation is relatively simple. By dropping blood into the test paper and inserting the test paper with blood into the instrument, the blood glucose value of blood can be obtained. However, it should be noted that the time of measuring blood sugar is different, which reflects the different blood sugar content. For many patients with diabetes, blood sugar should be measured frequently to avoid the problem of being ignored when blood sugar is abnormal.
3. Hypoglycemia
The blood sugar concentration of our body is not static, and it will fluctuate with the different foods we eat or the different behaviors of our body. We often say that hypoglycemia usually refers to the situation that the sugar concentration in the blood is less than 71 mg. Generally, the main cause of hypoglycemia is the excessive use of hypoglycemic drugs, which leads to a rapid decline in blood sugar. The other is the lack of food intake. Many people will have hypoglycemia when they take strenuous exercise or have not eaten food for a long time.
Usually, when people have hypoglycemia, they will feel dizzy, and in severe cases, they will be weak in limbs and faint. If you are in a state of hypoglycemia for a long time, you will have symptoms such as memory decline and slow response, and in severe cases, you will have coma or even death. Therefore, when the body has hypoglycemia symptoms, we must be vigilant and treat it in time to avoid further deterioration of the condition.
There are many treatments for hypoglycemia. For people who eat irregularly or consume too much, hypoglycemia can be relieved by supplementing sugar in time. However, patients with perennial hypoglycemia need medication and adjust their eating habits and living habits. After a professional systematic examination in the hospital, follow the doctor's advice for treatment. In severe cases, the condition can be relieved by injecting glucose.
4. Hyperglycemia
Among the three high schools we often talk about in our lives, the most common one is hyperglycemia. Because of long-term irregular eating habits and lack of exercise, the body's sugar will far exceed the normal health level, resulting in symptoms of hyperglycemia. Generally, when the blood sugar value exceeds 131 mg, we call it hyperglycemia. The harm of hyperglycemia to the body is also extremely serious.
The causes of hyperglycemia are extremely complicated, which can be summarized into five categories. They are: genetic factors, occasional hyperglycemia, the influence of bad living habits, the initiation of diseases, early diabetes and so on. It is no stranger to genetic factors. Many patients with hyperglycemia are due to family history. However, today's many diabetic patients are mainly induced by bad living habits and the environment.
In addition, some of them are occasional hyperglycemia, that is, taking too much sugar before blood sugar measurement leads to extremely high blood sugar value, which is considered as hyperglycemia. In fact, hyperglycemia may also be caused by disease, and patients with coronary heart disease are likely to induce hyperglycemia. Finally, hyperglycemia may also be a precursor of diabetes, so we should check and treat it as soon as possible to avoid the aggravation of the disease.
1. The concept of diabetes
Diabetes is no stranger in life. Diabetes mainly refers to the decline of islet function and the symptoms of metabolic disorder caused by various factors. Diabetic patients must often be monitored by the measurement of blood glucose meter to grasp the data of blood glucose value in time to avoid the onset of illness and endanger life and health.
2. Symptoms of diabetes
There are many symptoms of diabetes, which can be summarized into two categories. One is the symptom of metabolic disorder, and the other is the phenomenon of acute or chronic complications. First of all, diabetic patients will have symptoms of polyuria. This is because the blood sugar content in the body is too high, and too much sugar is difficult to be digested and absorbed by the kidneys, so it will accumulate into urine. When the blood sugar in the body continues to rise, the urine will also increase, and the phenomenon of polyuria will occur.
The second is thirst, which is closely related to the above symptoms. If the sugar in blood is too high, it will lead to the increase of urine. When urine is continuously excreted, it will make the body in a state of water shortage and produce symptoms of thirst. Both of them are in a vicious cycle, and drinking more water will increase urine, which in turn will produce thirst, and so on.
then there is the phenomenon of overeating. The main reason for eating more is that when people are hungry, they feel hungry and have the idea of eating. Some diabetic patients lack insulin in their bodies, and their absorption capacity for glucose is poor. There is glucose in their bodies, but it is difficult to use it. The body will have the illusion of hunger and the idea of eating, which will lead patients to keep eating.
Thirdly, diabetics will lose weight. Although people with diabetes will eat more, because of the lack of insulin in the body, the ability to absorb sugar is insufficient, which will lead to the phenomenon of insufficient intake of sugar. Insufficient intake for a long time will make the body lose weight. It is suggested that patients with diabetes must be treated in time and take treatment measures to avoid continuous weight loss and reduce their immunity.
According to medical clinical research, it is found that patients with diabetes will also have symptoms of physical weakness. This is also related to the lack of insulin in the body, and it is difficult for the body to effectively absorb sugar. If the body can't use enough sugar for a long time, it will make the body feel weak, confused, difficult to concentrate and lack interest in life.
finally, there will be the problem of poor eyesight. This is mainly caused by the change of the relationship between blood sugar and the lens. When the body is in a state of hyperglycemia, the diopter of the lens changes, and the response to vision becomes unclear, resulting in blurred vision, decreased vision and other symptoms.
3. Clinical manifestations
For some chronic diseases, diabetes can also cause kidney diseases. The most obvious symptom is polyuria, and at the same time, urine will also have proteinuria. The nerves of diabetic patients will also have different degrees of problems, such as numbness and tingling, which will affect the normal operation of limbs and seriously affect the normal life of patients. According to the results of medical research, the immunity of some diabetic patients will further decline, increasing the possibility of illness.
1. 2 kinds of breakfast should be stopped as soon as possible
We all know that the plan for the day lies in the morning. Many people pay great attention to the health of breakfast, thinking that breakfast will have a great impact on the body, and diabetics should be more vigilant and pay attention to it. For the collocation of breakfast, doctors suggest never eating these two kinds of breakfast, namely: pickles and steamed bread; Ham and bread.
First of all, the first kind of pickles and steamed bread is a common breakfast match for many people, especially northerners. Matching is not only light and delicious, but also relatively convenient and fast. But such a simple collocation is extremely harmful to diabetics. Pickled vegetables contain high salt. Long-term intake in large quantities will lead to the increase of osmotic pressure in the body and hinder the metabolism of the body. People will continue to drink water after eating salty water, which accelerates urination and a vicious circle, which is extremely unfavorable to the body.
For diabetics, not only pickles are unhealthy, but also steamed bread should be eaten as little as possible. Steamed bread contains high starch, which will be digested and decomposed into sugar in the human body when ingested, which will easily lead to the increase of blood sugar, which is not conducive to controlling blood sugar. It is suggested that these two foods should not be eaten as much as possible, let alone eaten together.
Second, try not to eat bread and ham. Many young people are in a hurry in the morning and have no time to make breakfast. They often choose to buy bread and ham in the supermarket for eating, but this is not very healthy for diabetics. First of all, bread is generally high in sugar and contains more preservatives. These are very unfavorable to human health, and it is easy to cause an increase in blood sugar.
In addition, ham contains more salt, which will increase osmotic pressure, make human metabolism difficult and increase the burden on the body. Therefore, it is suggested that diabetic patients must eat these foods as little as possible and choose foods that are lighter and contain less sugar.
2. Try not to drink alcohol
Doctors suggest that diabetics should try to reduce drinking. The alcohol content in wine is high, and long-term drinking will not only increase the burden on the body, but also paralyze the nerves, resulting in the increase of blood sugar and blood pressure. For some diabetic patients, drinking on an empty stomach will further cause hypoglycemia and damage the stomach.
3. Fried food
Generally, fried food is fried with high-temperature hot oil. The fat content and calories of the food are extremely high, and the stomach of diabetic patients is relatively weak. After eating this food, it is easy to cause indigestion, abdominal distension and other problems. At the same time, high-temperature fried food makes it more difficult for patients to control sugar, and diabetic patients should try to eat less or not to eat this food.
1. Diet therapy
The best way for diabetic patients to treat and relieve diabetes is to change the original bad eating habits and achieve a balanced diet. First, make clear which foods should not be eaten. For some foods with high fat, high sugar and high cholesterol, we should try to reduce the intake or not. Pay great attention to the time of eating and drinking. Try to eat dinner earlier and eat less, and it is forbidden to eat supper.
2. Exercise therapy
Exercise is a better way besides diet therapy, which can not only relieve the symptoms of diabetes, but also exercise well, improve physical fitness and enhance immunity. You can exercise by jogging, badminton, yoga, etc., and be careful not to exercise too much to avoid high fluctuations in blood sugar levels inside the body.
3. monitoring blood sugar
monitoring blood sugar is very important, because the blood sugar value in the body is constantly changing. It will fluctuate in different degrees according to human activities and food intake. For some patients with diabetes, blood sugar must be measured frequently. Generally, a blood test should be conducted after a period of time after meals, drugs should be injected or taken in time, and the change of blood sugar value should be monitored at all times to avoid affecting health.
It is necessary to monitor the blood sugar and blood pressure in real time. Their values are a sign of our health level. By observing their values, we can monitor and treat them in time, find problems in time and solve them. Patients with diabetes should always pay attention to their blood sugar changes, develop good eating habits and living habits, and achieve a balanced diet and adequate sleep.
Pay more attention to breakfast. Doctors suggest that diabetics should try not to eat steamed bread and pickles, bread and ham for breakfast. Avoid excessive intake of sugar and salt, avoid affecting the osmotic pressure of the human body, and make the blood sugar in the body difficult to control. At the same time, we should eat less greasy food, less high-sugar food and fruit, and eat more light and digestible food to keep healthy.
