"Diabetes" everyone should have heard of, which is a chronic disease with elevated blood sugar as the main symptom.
Relevant data surveys show that in recent years, with the improvement of national living and diet levels and changes in lifestyles, the incidence of diabetes has also increased year by year, and the total number of patients has reached about 120 million people!
Moreover, more than 90% of these people with diabetes are type 2 diabetics. And because the initial symptoms of type 2 diabetes are atypical, most patients are discovered during accidental physical examinations.
As a result, nearly 46.5% of adults with diabetes on the mainland are still undiagnosed and effectively treated.
This set of data is nothing more than cold numbers in the eyes of everyone. But behind this is the bitter history of countless diabetic patients, who are worried about complications at any time and worry about the cost of future treatment every day.
So far, there is no clinical means to completely cure diabetes, so once the disease is developed, it means that patients need to receive long-term, or even lifelong treatment.
So the question is, diabetes is fearful, what should be done to reduce the prevalence rate?
1, control diet: there are two reasons for the emergence of diabetes, the first is the patient's islet function damage, the second is that the cells are not sensitive enough to insulin.
The reason for the emergence of the latter, in addition to being related to genetic genes, is more affected by the acquired diet.
Long-term calorie intake exceeds the standard, like to eat high-sugar, high-fat foods, will increase the secretion burden of islets, but also lead to obesity, and obesity will affect the cell's ability to perceive insulin, and then develop insulin resistance.
Therefore, if you want to stay away from diabetes, you should first maintain a light, nutritious and balanced food intake;
2. Appropriate exercise: According to the data currently available in clinical practice, obesity caused by long-term excessive eating and reduced physical activity is the most important factor in the incidence of type II diabetes, especially in obese people with family history, and the prevalence will be higher in the future.
Therefore, the second priority of diabetes prevention is appropriate physical activity. Through physical exercise, it can not only consume excess calories in the body, but also improve the sensitivity of cells to insulin;
3, adjust sleep: long-term sleep time is too long, will affect the breakfast time, and disrupt the blood sugar change law throughout the day, and then increase the possibility of hyperglycemia.
Staying up late for a long time and sleeping too short will cause the hypothalamic sympathetic nerve to be too excited, catecholamine secretion in large quantities, and then inhibit the function of islets, resulting in increased blood sugar.
Therefore, in the clinical view, if you do not want to let diabetes find yourself, it is necessary to maintain a good sleep pattern every day and ensure 6-8 hours of sleep;
4, stable mentality: there are relevant research surveys show that a person's mood changes can also affect blood sugar.
For example, when the mood is extremely tense, agitated and fearful or excessively depressed, it will indirectly inhibit the secretion and release of insulin, and cause a large number of secretions of various glycosteroids, which in turn will antagonize insulin, which in turn will lead to an increase in blood sugar. Therefore, everyone should learn to regulate personal emotions and relax their mentality in daily life.
Finally, we should remind everyone that in addition to acquired factors, genetic genes also play a certain role in the attack of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, for people with a family history of diabetes and obesity, in addition to making life adjustments, they should also regularly test blood glucose to avoid high blood sugar without knowing it.
