In the eyes of many people, no matter which of the three high diseases and cardiovascular diseases, it is a disease that only the middle-aged and elderly people will suffer from.
It is also true that the vast majority of patients with chronic diseases are middle-aged and elderly. However, with the change of diet and living habits in the mainland in recent years, the economic level is increasing, young people may also suffer from three highs, cardiovascular diseases, such as diabetes in recent years has gradually shown a trend of rejuvenation.
According to a survey released by the International Diabetes Alliance, there are currently about 425 million diabetics worldwide, of which the mainland accounts for nearly 120 million.
The mainland is the country with the largest number of diabetes patients in the world, the current prevalence of diabetes has increased to about 3.5 to 11.6%, you know, in the early stage of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, there are no obvious, special symptoms, and even patients do not have any performance.
Therefore, young people can not be taken lightly, especially young people who have a family genetic history of diabetes and are more obese, should pay attention to blood glucose screening.
So the question is, if young people are diagnosed with diabetes, what should they do?
1. Determine the type of diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is clinically mainly divided into two different pathological types, namely type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In most cases, type 1 diabetes is easy to find teenagers and children, and type 2 diabetes is easy to appear in adults, middle-aged and elderly people.
Different types of diabetes, treatment methods, medications are also different. Therefore, if a young person is diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing to determine is what type of blood sugar rise they have;
2. Rational medication treatment
Until now, diabetes has remained an incurable, lifelong metabolic disease. Therefore, after determining the type of diabetes, the patient needs to use drug-controlled treatment. In general, the islet function of type 1 diabetic patients has been seriously damaged or missing, so such patients can only rely on insulin injection to control blood sugar.
Type II diabetes is mainly controlled by a variety of hypoglycemic drugs, doctors will choose appropriate drugs according to the characteristics of blood glucose fluctuations, age, weight and important organ functions of patients, and if necessary, they also need to use drugs together, inject insulin and other ways to stabilize blood sugar;
3. Life adjustment
In clinical view, whether it is type 1 or type 2 diabetes, comprehensive treatment is required. The so-called comprehensive therapy, in addition to drugs, there are also diet and lifestyle adjustments.
Diabetics need to reasonably calculate the total calorie intake of three meals, while ensuring adequate intake of protein, vitamins, trace elements and other beneficial substances, but also need to control the amount of food and total calories to avoid causing postprandial blood sugar rise.
In addition, patients should also choose suitable sports according to their age, physical fitness and severity of the disease, and adopt a gradual and long-term adherence to the exercise mode. Through exercise, it can not only improve the body's sensitivity to insulin, but also play a weight-loss effect.
All in all, diabetes itself is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you did not detect the disease in time and actively control treatment. After diabetes mellitus is effectively treated, the patient's blood sugar will gradually stabilize, and the possibility of complications in the later stage will also decrease. Therefore, after the diagnosis of diabetes, everyone must not give up on themselves, and active treatment is the right choice.
