Controlling blood sugar is a delicate job, and medication alone is not enough, because there are many factors that affect blood sugar! Change the following 6 mistakes, high blood sugar is no longer a worry!
1.Do not eat when your blood sugar is high
Some patients rely on less a meal to lower sugar, this method is very undesirable. First, this meal less to eat, the next meal is easy to eat more, then the next meal of the task of lowering sugar becomes heavy, but not conducive to the smooth blood sugar. Secondly, if dinner is not eaten, together with other glucose-lowering factors, it may lead to low blood sugar all the way down, hypoglycemia at night, the body’s protective mechanism makes the body secrete a lot of glucagon, thus appearing rebound hyperglycemia, and the fasting blood sugar in the morning is higher than expected. That is, not eating is more detrimental to blood sugar control.
2. Exercise no matter what time it is
No matter who is, insisting on exercise will always benefit, and this is especially true for diabetics. But exercise should be scientific, incorrect exercise can only be counterproductive.
First of all, before exercise to assess their own, if the blood sugar is too high is not recommended exercise, that is, fasting blood sugar in 13.9 mmol / l or more and urinary ketone body positive (diabetic ketoacidosis), or ketone body negative but fasting blood sugar in 16.7 mmol / l or more should not exercise. Because the body is in a state of stress at this time, exercise will only make a large number of glucagon secretion, making the blood sugar rise instead of fall.
Secondly, choose the appropriate form of exercise for yourself, elderly sugar lovers should choose a mild form of exercise, high-intensity exercise initially is also easy to cause blood sugar to rise.
3, eating drugs that raise blood sugar
In addition to the glucose-lowering drugs we know, some drugs needed for other diseases can also affect blood sugar. If your life is regular, there are no other stress factors, and when blood sugar rises don’t forget to check out the use of other drugs.
Hormone drugs, gastrointestinal antispasmodics, thiazide diuretics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, etc. can raise blood sugar, and in this case it is recommended to adjust the type of drugs and drug dose.
4.Late to bed and late to rise
The disorder of biological clock can also lead to abnormal energy metabolism, which includes the disorder of sleep time. So it is said that sleep is also one of the factors affecting blood sugar. Whether you go to bed too late or wake up too late is not good for blood sugar control.
On the one hand, if you need to go to work, then sleeping late will inevitably lead to insufficient sleep time, and staying up late often will put the body in a mild and repeated sleep disorder for a long time. Studies have confirmed that this long-term disorder can damage health and affect glucose metabolism, which in turn affects blood sugar.
Of course, if you do not need to work, sleeping late at night and getting up late in the morning will also affect blood sugar, because then you will miss the best breakfast time, and if you therefore choose to brunch together is even more inappropriate, two meals of blood sugar load a meal intake, certainly not conducive to blood sugar control. Control blood sugar and maintain a good biological clock is important!
5, poor mood: depression + anxiety
People are happy, for hypertensive patients should not be very sad and happy, and for diabetic patients, mood also affects blood glucose control. Long-term bad mood, especially when the diabetes itself as a burden, the control of blood sugar can only be counterproductive, in addition, anxiety and other emotions will also have an impact on blood sugar.
Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic patients learn more about the correct understanding of diabetes, face the complications of diabetes scientifically, figure out how to control blood sugar well and how to prevent complications, and understand this knowledge to help relieve mental stress. Happy every day, it is good for controlling blood sugar!
6, the lack of family care
Family and harmony, in fact, diabetic patients need more love from their families. Studies have shown that a harmonious marital relationship can not only soothe the emotions of diabetics, improve the patient’s acceptance of diabetes and quality of life, and more likely to enable the patient to achieve better control of blood sugar.
On the contrary, if the family is not harmonious and often quarrels constantly, for diabetic patients, it invariably increases the psychological pressure, which is also not conducive to blood sugar control.
