Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrine metabolic disease. The prevalence of diabetes among people over 18 years old in China has rapidly increased from 4.2% in 2002 to 9.7% in 2012, and it is estimated that there are more than 97 million people with diabetes and about 150 million people with prediabetes in China. The complications of diabetes involve blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, feet and other organs, with high rates of disability and death, seriously affecting the health of patients and imposing a heavy burden on individuals, families and society. type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes in China. Obesity is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Pre-diabetic people receiving appropriate lifestyle interventions can delay or prevent the onset of diabetes. Today we will explain to you how individuals can take action against diabetes! 1, comprehensive knowledge of diabetes, pay attention to personal blood glucose levels. Healthy people start to test their fasting blood sugar once a year at the age of 40. People with one of the following factors are at high risk of diabetes: overweight and obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, family history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, history of birth of a huge child (birth weight ≥ 4 kg). 6.1 mmol/L ≤ fasting blood glucose (FBG) < 7.0 mmol/L, or 7.8 mmol/L ≤ glycemic load 2-hour blood glucose (2hPG) < 11.1 mmol/ L, then the glucose regulation is impaired, also known as pre-diabetes, belongs to the very high-risk group of diabetes. 2. Pre-diabetic people can reduce the risk of developing diabetes through diet control and scientific exercise. It is recommended to test fasting glucose or 2-hour postprandial glucose once every six months. Also pay close attention to other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors and give appropriate interventions. It is recommended that overweight or obese people make their body mass index (BMI) reach or approach 24 kg/㎡, or lose at least 7% of their body weight, reduce total daily dietary calories by at least 400-500 kcal, reduce saturated fatty acid intake by less than 30% of total fatty acid intake, and keep moderate intensity physical activity at least 150 minutes/week. 3. Strengthen health management for diabetic patients. Diabetes mellitus can be diagnosed if there are typical symptoms of diabetes mellitus ("three more and one less", i.e., drinking more, eating more, urinating more and losing weight) and random blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L, or fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L, or sugar load 2-hour blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L. It is recommended that diabetic patients regularly monitor blood glucose and blood lipids, control diet, exercise scientifically, quit smoking and limit alcohol, take medication as prescribed by the doctor, and have regular complication checkups. 4. Pay attention to dietary nutrition. The diet of diabetic patients can refer to the Chinese Dietary Guidelines for Diabetes, to achieve: reasonable diet, staple food ration (intake varies from person to person), it is recommended to choose low glycemic index (GI) food, whole grains, mixed legumes account for one-third of the staple food intake; it is recommended to have vegetables at meals and choose low GI fruits in moderation between meals; not more than 4 eggs per week or 1 egg every two days, without abandoning the yolk; milk Beans every day, snacks can choose a little nut; cooking attention to less oil and salt; recommended to drink plain water, do not drink alcohol; eat regular meals, control the speed of eating, chew and swallow slowly. Meal order should be to eat vegetables first, then eat meat, and finally eat the main food. 5, scientific exercise. Diabetic patients should comply with the appropriate exercise for health guidance methods and make the necessary adjustments in a timely manner. At least five days a week, more than half an hour a day of moderate exercise, suitable for diabetics are walking, swimming, tai chi, square dance, etc.. It is important to prevent hypoglycemia and falls when exercising. It is not recommended for elderly patients to participate in strenuous exercise. When blood sugar control is extremely poor and accompanied by acute complications or serious chronic complications, exercise therapy is not suitable. I believe that you have read the above content to have a general understanding of personal diabetes prevention and control action planning, take action and work hard for your health.
