Here's a little bit of cold stuff about diabetes
Did you know?
One
Fasting for more than 8 hours, blood sugar is accurate?
Fasting blood glucose requires fasting for more than 8 hours, so many people often eat early the night before in order to measure blood sugar, and wait for the next day to check.
But in fact, research shows that the fasting time is too long, and the measured blood sugar is not accurate!
If the measurement time is past 10 a.m., it is considered to be in an ultra-fasting state. Fasting for more than 14 hours is prone to hypoglycemia, especially in diabetics who use long-acting insulin or long-acting oral hypoglycemic drugs.
In addition, if the fasting time is too long, the liver sugar production will increase to varying degrees, and there will also be an increase in blood sugar, resulting in the measurement results can not reflect the daily blood sugar status.
Therefore, it is best to come to the hospital for fasting blood glucose measurement between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning.
Two
Fasting blood glucose test, can not eat anything?
Some patients have heard that fasting blood glucose can not eat anything, simply do not eat medicine, do not drink water. But in fact, this is the wrong approach.
When measuring fasting blood glucose, you can drink a small amount of water if you are thirsty. Patients with the same high blood pressure should also take antihypertensive drugs on time. However, the food is really not edible!
Three
Eating enough to start timing postprandial blood sugar?
Blood glucose 2 hours after a meal is a key indicator for people with diabetes. Many people start timing after eating, but in fact, postprandial blood glucose should start timing from the first bite of meal.
Everyone's meal time is different, some people eat a meal for 1 hour, some people eat 15 minutes to get it done, the difference between them will make the blood sugar after the meal inaccurate, so be sure to find out the measurement time.
Four
Is a normal fasting blood sugar not diabetes?
Many sugar friends will have a physical examination every year, fasting blood glucose is normal, accidentally checked a random blood glucose or postprandial blood glucose, frightened, surprisingly higher than normal!
Most people develop an increase in blood glucose after a meal in the early stages of the disease. The blood sugar of the human body will gradually rise after eating, and the ability of the islets to cope with the peak of blood sugar after the meal has decreased, so the blood sugar after the meal will rise first. However, the regulation of fasting blood glucose can also be coped with, so fasting blood sugar is normal.
Therefore, a normal fasting blood sugar is not without the risk of diabetes.
Five
Does getting colder also affect blood sugar?
Yes. When the weather is cold, blood sugar may also be affected, but most people's changes are not obvious.
With the slight change of hormones in the body, the weather is cold, the "appetite" of diabetic patients will be much better than on hot days, and then there will be small changes in blood sugar, but do not worry too much, if the blood sugar changes significantly, find a doctor in time to adjust the treatment appropriately.
