As we all know, patients with diabetes are generally more psychological pressure, for the disease we have to actively treat, we have to pay attention to their own body, pay attention to health, and to effectively control the condition, not only the correct use of medication, but also pay attention to the diet and psychological regulation, in the occurrence, development and recurrence of diabetes, the role played by emotional factors is very critical. Because tension, excitement, depression, fear and other bad emotions, will cause the body of certain stress hormone secretion, such as growth hormone, norepinephrine, pancreatic hyperglycemia, epinephrine, adrenocorticotropic hormone and so on. These hormone elevation will cause diabetes condition repeated, affecting the recovery of diabetic patients. Researchers at Duke University Medical Center in the United States have long found that relieving a patient’s mental stress or adjusting a patient’s negative emotions can play a role in helping to relieve diabetes symptoms to a certain extent, just as drugs do. Therefore, in the treatment of diabetes, psychological treatment and care becomes very important. Diabetic patients are prone to fall into 8 psychological misunderstandings As psychological stress can bring certain conditions to diabetic patients, both patients and doctors are right to pay great attention to it. Therefore, we should try to avoid diabetic patients into the misunderstanding, so diabetic patients are often easy to fall into the following psychological misunderstanding which? Misunderstanding one: do not think. Early diabetes patients generally have mild symptoms or even no symptoms at all, some may also be perverse “red face”, giving others a “robust” illusion. Some patients mistakenly believe that higher blood glucose is not harmful to their health, so they take a “nonchalant” attitude towards the disease. Some patients even suspect that the doctor’s diagnosis is wrong, and refuse to change their dietary habits and actively cooperate with the doctor to take medication. Myth two: fear and anxiety. Because diabetes is a lifelong disease that is difficult to completely cure, and with the development of the disease will also appear all kinds of complications, coupled with the lack of knowledge or understanding of one-sidedness, some patients produce anxiety, fear of psychology is inevitable. They are afraid of being amputated and become disabled, afraid of the unimaginable trouble brought about by the disease, and even more afraid of loss of life and death. In fact, diabetes is not an incurable disease, and its mortality rate is much lower than many diseases. The vast majority of patients can be expected to get effective control of the disease, patients in the longevity of people also abound. Myth No. 3: Pessimism. Most diabetics are retirees who have reached old age. They originally dreamed of enjoying life after a lifetime of hard work and spending their twilight years happily. But now they not only can’t eat this and that, and almost every day have to take drugs and injections to the hospital, but also deeply worried about whether the condition will worsen. In fact, the vast majority of patients diagnosed with the disease, will be pessimistic and depressed for a while, and it is difficult to extricate themselves. Myth No. 4: Complaining about guilt. When some patients realize that diabetes is genetically linked, they complain that their parents or even their grandparents “passed” the disease on to them. Some parents who have diabetes feel deeply guilty when they learn that their children also have diabetes. Myth No. 5: Resistance to confrontation. If the negative feelings of the patient are left unchecked, over time they may lead to confrontation with healthcare professionals and family members, and even resistance to active treatment. In addition, there are some patients who have been sick for a long time, have many serious complications, and the effect of treatment is not obvious, they may lose confidence in the use of medication or treatment, and finally give up on themselves and take the “three noes” attitude of ignoring, not trusting, and not cooperating with the medical staff. Myth No. 6: Take it lightly. Some patients after a period of treatment, blood glucose successfully dropped to normal levels, think the disease has been cured and stop taking medication, and relax the reasonable control of diet, and do not pay attention to the combination of work and rest, until the blood glucose rises sharply, and the condition is aggravated only when it is too late to regret. It is worth mentioning that such repetition may make the disease more difficult to cure, and even bring fatal danger! Myth No. 7: Drugs are everything. For diabetic patients, drug treatment is of course important, but over-reliance on drugs and even superstitious drugs is not to be. To know, the occurrence of diabetes is in a certain genetic and environmental background, by bad habits, mental and psychological factors. Therefore, in taking drugs at the same time, such as also attach importance to balanced diet, weight control, work and rest, psychological adjustment, physical exercise, smoking and alcohol and other non-drug therapies, the therapeutic effect will be more obvious. Myth eight: overkill. Some patients in order to faster “sugar”, they are too much, too often medication, or excessive dieting, excessive exercise, and finally cause hypoglycemia, severe may also lead to fainting. Many of the diabetic patients I work with have to test their blood glucose and control their calories every day in order to control their blood glucose. Regularly check their eyes, kidneys and other sensitive areas that are susceptible to damage from the condition. Inevitably, diabetes affects their quality of life, leading them to decide to have surgery. Of course, gastric bypass surgery is also very effective, and many people are able to stabilize their blood sugar by their own regulation.
