Mild diabetes is mainly defined as abnormal glucose tolerance, which means that the body’s tolerance to glucose in the blood is reduced, usually after an OGTT test, and a diagnosis of abnormal glucose tolerance is made when the fasting blood glucose is between 3.9 and 6.1 and the 2-hour blood glucose is >7.8 but <11.1 after taking 75 grams of glucose by mouth. For this group of people with abnormal glucose tolerance, it is easy to develop diabetes.
Lifestyle interventions are usually used, including diet control and exercise consumption, avoiding excessive high-sugar and high-starch foods, eating more coarse grains and vegetables, and reducing salt and oil. The next step is to pay attention to monitoring blood pressure and regularly rechecking blood sugar, generally checking fasting blood sugar at least once a week and glycated hemoglobin at least once a month.
