Diabetes has now become one of the "scourges" that threaten the health of the people.
And diabetes itself is not terrible, what is terrible is the various complications it brings, which threatens the health of patients.
Therefore, once diabetes is detected, in addition to the need for timely use of hypoglycemic drugs for treatment, dietary adjustments should also be made.
Lancet sub-issue: Dapagliflozin reduces new diabetes by 33%.
Recently, The Lancet - Diabetes and Endocrinology published a new study on a pooled analysis of data from two key trials of dapagliflozin.
Through experimental data comparison, the researchers further evaluated the effect of dapagliflozin on new-onset type 2 diabetes, and the results showed that dapagliflozin treatment can effectively reduce the risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes in patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure by 33%.
This means that dapagliflozin can not only cure kidney disease, but also prevent diabetes.
At the same time, the study also found that more than 90% of patients with new type 2 diabetes were already in prediabetes at the beginning of the study (HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4%).
This study is particularly important for patients who are at high risk of developing diabetes, including those with prediabetes.

In addition to sweets, what foods should diabetics avoid?
For diabetics, strict blood sugar control is the key, and in addition to taking antihypertensive drugs, daily diet also requires special attention.
In addition to limiting high sugar intake, these foods also need to be avoided.
First, high starch, easy to digest food
For example, potatoes, lotus roots, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, etc., the starch content in these foods is particularly high, once a large amount of it enters the human body, it will be converted into sugar and absorbed by the human body, which will affect the blood sugar value.
In addition to these foods, rice, noodles, white noodles, steamed buns, porridge, noodles, wontons, etc., these foods contain a lot of starch, and are very easy to digest food, it is easy to be absorbed by the intestine, which will lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar value after eating, which is not conducive to the stability of blood sugar value.
Second, foods with too much fat
For some diabetics who are injecting insulin, they will not avoid some foods with too much fat, such as various meats or animal fat and fat broth.
Although insulin injection can play a role in stabilizing blood glucose levels, a large number of high-fat, high-calorie foods enter the human body, which will increase the viscosity of the blood, thus affecting the blood circulation of the whole body, and the probability of suffering from hyperlipidemia will be particularly high.
These foods will affect the body's metabolic rate, and the metabolism of some fats and sugars will be abnormal, which will affect the stability of blood sugar values.
In addition to some meat, there are also some foods that use a lot of vegetable oil, such as some fried foods.
Once a large amount of intake, it will also affect the blood flow rate, so that blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure values are affected accordingly, and the probability of a series of complications will be particularly high.
Third, foods containing too high sodium ions
Among all foods made with too much table salt, they contain more sodium ions, such as some pickled vegetables, eggs, meat and other foods.
The salt content in these foods is very high, which can easily lead to damage to the endometrium of the blood vessels, and the probability of developing high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and the formation of blood clots will be particularly high.
After too much sodium ion enters the human body, it will increase the amylase activity, and promote the body's digestion of starch to accelerate, and the small intestine will overabsorb glucose in food, resulting in a rapid increase in blood glucose concentration.
Fourth, foods with too high cholesterol
In a variety of animal offal foods, as well as various foods and desserts made with butter and margarine, they are very rich in cholesterol components.
These components increase blood lipid concentrations, which can lead to hyperlipidemia. Not only is it easy to induce some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, but it will also affect kidney health, resulting in a relatively high probability of diabetic nephropathy.
