"Diabetes", a lifelong metabolic disease, has caused great pain and suffering to the lives and health of countless patients!
According to relevant data surveys, the existing diabetics in China have reached nearly 120 million.
Among them, more than 90% of patients belong to type 2 diabetes, although most of them do not reach the severity of the need to inject insulin therapy, but because the mainland does not yet have a complete cure for it, so patients also need long-term, even lifelong medication!
Many diabetics fall into a treatment myth that as long as there is drug treatment support, they do not need to be regulated by other means.
As a result, blood glucose control has always been unstable, sometimes the abdominal blood glucose exceeds the standard, sometimes the blood glucose exceeds the standard after meals, repeatedly, and eventually causes complications. As everyone knows, diabetes is a disease that requires comprehensive treatment.
Although drug treatment is the focus of diabetes control, it is also very important to regulate three aspects such as life, diet and exercise.
Only by starting comprehensively can we control blood sugar within a stable range. Therefore, diabetics should also understand the following three tips for reducing diabetes while taking medication, which may help you avoid complications:
1. Control the total calories of three meals: diet treatment is the basis for the treatment of various types of diabetes, and even some patients with mild hyperglycemia may control the development of the disease simply by adjusting with diet.
The focus of dietary adjustment is to control the total calorie intake of the three meals. Because each patient's specific circumstances are different, the total calories should be taken into account in the patient's age and gender, height and weight, physical activity and condition.
When the total daily calorie intake is calculated, then reasonably match three meals according to this standard, and arrange protein, vitamins, dietary fiber, and carbohydrates in three meals;
2, exercise can not be less: diabetic patients exercise purposes are mainly two, the first is to consume excess fat in the body, especially for obese type 2 diabetic patients, after weight loss, blood sugar control will become easier.
Second, exercise can increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin and improve insulin resistance symptoms.
Therefore, diabetics should formulate the exercise intensity and length of exercise according to their overall health status, and find the most suitable exercise for their own exercise or the sports they are interested in, such as walking, brisk walking, jogging, aerobics, dancing, tai chi, etc., which are all good choices;
3. Sleep regulation: relevant studies have shown that if diabetics sleep for too long, it will disrupt the blood glucose change law throughout the day, resulting in unstable blood sugar throughout the day and decreased drug effect.
If diabetic patients stay up late for a long time and lack of sleep, it will promote excessive secretion of norepinephrine, a large amount of catecholamine secretion, and insulin secretion is inhibited, resulting in increased blood sugar.
Therefore, diabetics are not suitable for excessive sleep, and it is not suitable for staying up late for a long time. Patients should have a reasonable and correct sleep pattern, preferably before 11 o'clock every day, and maintain at least 6 hours of sleep per day.
Of course, whether it is sleep, exercise or diet, which aspect of regulation, play an auxiliary control of blood sugar effect, any diet or exercise, can not replace the drug.
Therefore, diabetic patients need to be based on medication treatment, in order to carry out diet and life adjustment, only in all aspects of multi-pronged approach, in order to control blood sugar in a stable range, reduce the chance of diabetes complications.
