Counting the Three “Opposites” of Sugar Lovers

The latest data show that China’s diabetes has reached 92.4 million people, while the pre-diabetes population has also reached 150 million. In such a large group of patients, it is not difficult to find that many patients due to the lack of knowledge of diabetes itself, the lack of relevant education, and even hold a chance to blindly seek a cure for the “good medicine”, the result is often counterproductive, and even cause serious consequences. 1, half-knowledge type After suffering from diabetes, medical personnel often tell patients that diabetes needs to control the daily diet, control the daily intake of total calories, the need to do in the diet of low oil, less salt and many other principles. Patients with so-called “half-baked” diabetes are often poorly educated on these principles. Some patients will take these principles to the extreme, precisely measuring calories and portion sizes at every meal, and spending a great deal of energy every day on precise measurements of their diets. This is certainly a way to go overboard and in a way that severely diminishes the quality of life. In terms of exercise, “half-knowledge” patients often receive diabetes education that they need to exercise more. As a result, these patients tend to exercise regardless of the time of day, for example, in the morning on an empty stomach after waking up, which greatly increases the risk of hypoglycemia. There are also some combined cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients do not choose the time to do some strenuous exercise, the results triggered angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc., resulting in serious consequences. 2.Gullible advertisement As diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease, some unscrupulous businessmen will take advantage of the patients’ fluke mentality and launch all kinds of fake and shoddy products claiming that they can cure diabetes. The “gullible advertisement type” patients will mostly hold the attitude of trying, being led by the nose by false or misleading advertisements. As the ingredients of these false advertisements are not clear, patients are likely to have various adverse consequences after using them rashly. 3. “Delusionally seeking a cure” patients will often ask their friends or neighbors for remedies, and they hope to try all kinds of new medicines and technologies that can cure diabetes completely. Stem cell therapy” and “islet transplantation”, which are often seen in the press and on the Internet, are typical targets for these patients. Although many advertisements claim that these two types of technology can cure diabetes, patients should be aware that these technologies, especially stem cell therapy, are still in the research stage and have not been confirmed by large-scale evidence-based medicine. Previously, the Diabetes Branch of the Chinese Medical Association also issued relevant regulations: stem cell therapy can not be used for clinical treatment, even if the patient’s voluntary experiments can not be charged for the relevant surgical costs. Now, diabetes researchers around the world are committed to conquering diabetes or developing easier medical treatments. But in fact, so far, the only way to cure diabetes is to change bad habits in the early stage of diabetes, strict control of blood glucose levels, and a few patients can reverse diabetes without the use of drugs.
