Whether you have diabetes or not, controlling blood sugar is the foundation of a healthy and happy life!
However, in this society of sugar friends, it is recommended that everyone monitor blood sugar regularly, you must know that according to the data disclosed by the International Diabetes Federation, in 2021, the number of adults suffering from diabetes in mainland China has reached 140 million, ranking first in the world, and mainland diabetes-related medical expenditure ranks second in the world.
Therefore, in order to avoid this chronic disease from finding you, in addition to developing good lifestyle habits, you should also monitor your blood sugar daily. Of course, it's important to put it in perspective and not panic just because of the occasional high blood sugar.
If many people are worried about high blood sugar once, is it diabetes? Some people even measured fasting blood sugar of 8.7, so they thought it was already very serious?
Let's take a look first, is fasting blood sugar 8.7 considered a serious situation? Reminder: If that's the case, it's nothing.
Situation 1: Fasting blood glucose, refers to a person who has not done anything within 8~10 hours, of course, in addition to drinking water, such a state can reflect the function of pancreatic B cells in the body, which is an indicator of daily monitoring of diabetic patients, and can also judge a person's blood sugar status.
Generally speaking, if the fasting blood glucose value is less than 2.8mmol/L, and the corresponding symptoms occur, such as dizziness, headache, cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and obvious hunger, it is considered hypoglycemia; A fasting blood glucose value of less than 6.1 mmol/L and more than 7.0 mmol/L may be considered impaired for fasting blood glucose.
If the fasting blood glucose value is greater than or equal to 7.0mmol/L, it is considered diabetes. If your fasting blood sugar is 8.7, if it is just a one-time high blood sugar, don't worry too much, it may be a one-time high blood sugar.
Situation 2: In terms of the common causes that affect fasting blood sugar, exercise, mood, etc. may cause blood sugar fluctuations, such as excessive tension, strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, etc., and may cause one-time hyperglycemia.
In this case, the increase in blood sugar is also regarded as physiological hyperglycemia, which will not be maintained continuously, and the body will automatically adjust and slowly return to normal levels.
If you are really worried, or if you have already had more than one hyperglycemia, then it is time to take appropriate measures, and it is recommended that you check your fasting blood sugar again or take an oral glucose tolerance test.
or the typical symptoms of diabetes mellitus "three more and one less", except for special circumstances, if any of the following conditions are met, diabetes can be diagnosed, including randomly measured venous blood glucose greater than or equal to 11. 1 mmol/L； Fasting venous blood glucose greater than or equal to 7. 0 mmol/L； OGTT 2-hour (glucose tolerance 2-hour blood glucose value) venous blood glucose greater than or equal to 11. 1 mmol/L。
Therefore, everyone should judge correctly, there is no need to be afraid of high blood pressure once, but be vigilant about long-term high blood sugar!
