Hypoglycemia means that the fasting plasma glucose concentration of adults is less than 2.8mmol/L or the whole blood is less than 2.5mmol/L, and the value of children is lower than that of adults1.11mmol/L. Hypoglycemia is caused by many factors in the body, which lead to the blood sugar concentration being lower than normal.
1. Diet management
Patients with hypoglycemia should eat a small amount of meals, about 6-8 meals a day. Eating more low sugar and high protein can supply enough body calories, and at the same time, they should eat more high-fiber diets such as fruits and vegetables to ensure balanced nutrition. Sometimes in order to avoid hypoglycemia coma in the morning, meals can be added at night. In terms of dietary restrictions, it is mainly necessary to strictly limit the intake of monosaccharides, try to eat less refined and processed products, and avoid fruits and juices with high sugar content.
2. Exercise moderately
Moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness and reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemia, but it should be noted that the intensity of exercise can consume a lot of energy. For those with hypoglycemia on a regular basis, attention should be paid to early signs before and after exercise, such as eating sweets, cookies or drinking sugary drinks such as sweet milk immediately if there are signs of hypoglycemia. When conditions permit, you can carry some high-sugar foods with you in case of emergency.
3. Correct monitoring of blood sugar
It is suggested that the blood glucose meter should be used correctly at home regularly to measure blood glucose and monitor blood glucose concentration to reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia.
The symptoms of hypoglycemia are very serious, so it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. According to the doctor's instructions and cooperation with treatment, medication is generally used to improve your blood sugar level.
