Diabetic patients want to control blood sugar well, they must correctly understand the relevant knowledge, and they must be fully armed with knowledge.
If you enter some misunderstandings that should not be entered, guided by wrong information, it is easy to make blood sugar fluctuate greatly, and diabetic complications are easy to find.
What are the misunderstandings to avoid in diabetes medication?
Take someone else's medication
Some diabetics think that which hypoglycemic drugs others take work, they can eat themselves, in fact, no matter what kind of disease, they need individualized treatment.
Because each person's constitution is different, the disease situation will be different, the doctor will combine the patient's comprehensive situation, consider the drug suitable for the patient to take, and will also ask the patient to monitor blood sugar to see how effective the drug is.
Therefore, the situation of each patient is different, the islet function and comorbidities are different, and the drugs taken by each person are not exactly the same, so they should take the drugs according to the doctor's instructions, and do not take them according to other people's drugs.
Wrong way to take
For the treatment of diabetes, taking drugs must be on time, and different drugs are taken differently, so it is necessary to take drugs on time, and pay attention to which drugs are taken before meals, which drugs are taken during meals, and which are taken after meals, so as to exert the effect of lowering blood sugar.
Some patients think of taking medicine whenever they want, and some drugs may need to be taken during meals, but some people may take them two hours after meals, and then they can no longer work.
Blood glucose is not monitored
Some patients do not monitor blood sugar at all during the medication, and ultimately do not know whether taking the drug has controlled blood sugar, and some drugs may not have a good effect on controlling blood sugar, because there is no timely monitoring of blood glucose, and it is not found, so that blood sugar cannot be controlled within the standard range.
As we all know, there are many complications of diabetes, so during the period of taking drugs, blood sugar should also be monitored regularly, and it is also necessary to check regularly for complications.
Listen to folk remedies
Once suffering from diabetes, it is a lifelong disease, many people want to completely get rid of diabetes, they want to rely on some folk remedies, so as not to take drugs according to the doctor's requirements to control blood sugar.
In the end, diabetes was not completely cured, but the blood sugar control was not ideal, resulting in many complications, and even increased the difficulty of later treatment.
