Many people know that the real horror of diabetes lies in its complications, and the most serious of these complications is the lesion of diabetic blood vessels, which is the main cause of death in diabetics.
Therefore, for patients with diabetes, in addition to controlling blood sugar every day, we must also pay attention to the maintenance of blood vessels.
Keep the blood vessels unobstructed and prevent them from blocking, so as to reduce the damage caused to the body.
So what can be done to better protect blood vessels?
1. Control blood sugar well
For patients with diabetes, if you want to protect the health of blood vessels and prevent the lesions of diabetic blood vessels, you must control the blood sugar in the body.
If the blood glucose is not well controlled, it will be in a high state for a long time, which will lead to an increase in the viscosity of the blood, which will not only cause the blockage of the blood vessels, but also make the blood vessels brittle and hard, which is very detrimental to the health of the blood vessels.
If you want to control blood sugar, you must pay attention to two points, one is active treatment, the other is to control life, and the two cooperate with each other to better stabilize blood sugar. In addition, it is necessary to monitor blood glucose regularly, and once it is found that there is a tendency for blood sugar to rise, it is necessary to solve this problem in time.
2. Drink plenty of water
Diabetic patients should also drink more water every day and do not let the body be in a state of lack of water. Drinking plenty of water can help dilute blood levels, while also helping to stabilize blood sugar.
When drinking water, you need to pay attention to drinking boiled water, which cannot be replaced by coffee, drinks or juice, and the daily water intake can be controlled at about 1.5 to 2 liters.
3. Do not stop exercising
Exercise can help speed up blood circulation, while also promoting metabolism in the body, which can make blood vessels healthier.
In addition, more exercise can also help solve the problem of obesity, which is a risk factor for vascular blockage.
Not only that, but more exercise can also serve the purpose of stabilizing blood sugar, and doctors usually recommend that patients with diabetes exercise appropriately according to their own conditions.
The best exercise is to choose aerobic exercise, which can improve the function of the heart and lungs, but also has the effect of fat loss.
4. Take some drugs appropriately
If the blood becomes very viscous, or if there are already signs of a blockage, some medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Like aspirin, this drug has the effect of unclogging blood vessels.
You can also take some proprietary Chinese medicines that have the effect of activating blood and reducing stasis, such as Panax notoginseng, salvia, and astragalus. However, it must be noted that no matter what kind of medication you take, you need to consult a doctor and cannot use it blindly.
5, maintain a good mood
A good mood is also conducive to the body in health, on the contrary, if it has been in a negative mood, the state of the body will also become worse, it is easy to make the blood become viscous, and over time it will affect the health of blood vessels and cause some blood vessel diseases.
Therefore, after suffering from diabetes, do not put too much pressure on yourself, and learn to eliminate negative emotions, so as to benefit the health of blood vessels.
It can be seen that in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients, it is necessary to achieve these points mentioned above.
In fact, although there is no cure for diabetes, but through the way of drugs to stabilize blood sugar will not bring too much harm to the body, only blood sugar control is not good, long-term in an unstable state, will cause greater damage to the body, and even induce cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, it is necessary to take drugs regularly to stabilize blood sugar, but also to regularly monitor changes in blood sugar, but also to regularly check the health of blood vessels, no matter which aspect of the abnormality, we must improve in time to avoid more serious consequences.
