Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that is a chronic disease related to genetics, diet and exercise, poor lifestyle, pancreatic diseases, autoimmunity, and other factors. When it comes to diabetes, everyone is certainly not unfamiliar with it, it is a metabolic disease caused by a long-term increase in blood sugar levels, mainly including type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and generally speaking, most clinical patients are the latter.
After suffering from diabetes, the damage caused to the patient is very significant, such as blurred vision, skin infections, physical fatigue and other symptoms. In particular, if protective measures are not taken, it may even lead to problems such as blindness, kidney failure, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, for sugar friends, we must avoid wrong hypoglycemic behaviors in life to prevent the occurrence of diabetes complications.
These 6 common behaviors in daily life, or the culprit of diabetes complications, should be corrected in time
1. Poor sleep quality
With the improvement of living standards, coupled with daily psychological stress, many people will often suffer from insomnia and dreams, which leads to poor sleep quality. For diabetics, this problem can also cause a sharp rise in blood sugar levels in their body, which can greatly affect their physical health. Therefore, we must pay special attention to developing a good quality of sleep, which is also conducive to controlling our blood sugar levels.
2. Irregular diet
Irregular meals a day, frequent overeating or being in a state of abnormal dieting can also cause damage to our body, which will affect our normal insulin secretion, so irregular eating is also an accelerator of diabetes. I hope that everyone will change as soon as possible and develop a good habit of eating three meals a day on time, which can also keep the blood sugar level in our body stable and prevent complications.
3. Don't eat staple foods
Many people with diabetes believe that staple foods such as rice are high in calories and sugar, which can cause their blood sugar levels to rise. Therefore, when eating, staple foods such as rice are avoided. But staple foods are a way to provide energy to our body, and often not eating staple foods can lead to a lack of nutrients in our body, which can lead to the problem of malnutrition.
In severe cases, endocrine disruptions may also occur, making blood sugar more difficult to control. Therefore, sugar friends should control the intake of staple foods, not just avoid them, and it is not recommended to replace all staple foods with coarse grains and cereals, which account for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the staple food.
4. Gobble
If you eat too quickly and always gobble up, it can also lead to blood sugar loss control. This is because eating too fast may cause our body's digestion to decrease. In cases of impaired digestion, the body's ability to absorb nutrients and expend energy may decrease, which can lead to an increase in blood sugar.
In addition, the continuous rise in blood sugar will undoubtedly take a toll on our body. Therefore, in the process of eating food, we should chew it slowly and slowly.
5. Smoking and alcohol are not taboo
Nowadays, many people have the bad habit of smoking and drinking, but if we smoke and drink for a long time, it will also have a great impact on our health. Especially for some diabetic patients, it is important to pay special attention to quitting smoking and alcohol, because there are many harmful substances in tobacco and alcohol, which will not only affect the health of various organs of the body, but also affect the health of diabetic patients. At the same time, it can also cause a gradual increase in blood sugar levels in the body, making it difficult to control blood sugar levels, which also has a significant impact on physical health.
6. Watch TV while eating
Watching TV or your phone while eating can easily lead to distractions while eating, allowing yourself to eat more or faster without realizing it. This in turn leads to excessive calorie and sugar intake, which can lead to higher blood sugar levels. In addition, this eating habit can also affect our digestive system, leading to problems such as stomach upset or indigestion.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone develop the habit of focusing on eating and drinking, and avoid watching TV or mobile phones while eating. Chew slowly to allow your body to absorb nutrients and energy. At the same time, it is important to avoid lying down or sleeping immediately after meals to better aid digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
In short, for diabetic patients, I hope that everyone must develop good work and rest habits and eating habits in daily life, and maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude, so as to keep blood sugar stable in the body and prevent complications.
