Diabetes is hardest hit by these three groups of people, have you been hit?

  China is a large country with diabetes, and there are 114 million people with type 2 diabetes in China. And the current status of diabetes prevention and control in China is not optimistic.  In 2016, China’s chronic disease and its risk factors monitoring report: the awareness rate, treatment rate and control rate of diabetes in China are 38.6%, 35.6% and 33.0% respectively.  The elderly, labor force and obese people are the hardest hit areas for diabetes prevention and control.  1. The elderly are the key protection targets Every organ in the body of the elderly is declining, and islet function is no exception. Secondly, the quality of life has improved, diet and nutrition have improved, and lack of exercise has gradually increased the number of elderly obese people.  According to the survey data in 2010, there are 230 million people over 63 years old in China, accounting for 16.7% of the total population, and the prevalence of diabetes is as high as 22.86%!  Older people are the key target of diabetes prevention and treatment, and the goal of treatment is to reduce the incidence of complications and increase life expectancy.  2. 5.1% prevalence rate in the labor force According to the data, it seems that the prevalence rate in the labor force is not high, but there is a clear trend of increase.  Nowadays, a large part of the domestic workforce are office workers, who are sedentary and lack of exercise.  And the labor force population’s diabetes consultation rate is low, and the control situation to meet the standard is not optimistic.  3, obesity is an important factor leading to type 2 diabetes Obesity is one of the important risk factors for the occurrence of diabetes (mainly type 2 diabetes).  Obese people in life, long-term diet structure are unhealthy. When the body is overweight, the body’s insulin function is also in a long-term decline in the state, the prevalence of diabetes significantly increased, can be as high as more than five times the general population.  On the other hand, 80% of type 2 diabetics are obese. Moreover, the longer the time of obesity, the greater the chance of diabetes.  If you are one of the above three groups of people, you must pay attention to the prevention and control of diabetes and try to control your body weight to avoid excessive obesity, which increases the hidden danger of diabetes.  These three groups of people how to prevent and control good diabetes?  1, regular physical examination. As these three groups of people belong to the “hardest hit”, and diabetes has a “pre-diabetes” a concept, in the pre-diabetes timely detection, adjust the diet, diabetes is able to be reversed.  2, adhere to the exercise. Now many young people are now in a state of long-term non-exercise. This is very bad for health, exercise can promote insulin secretion, which is very effective for the prevention of diabetes.  3, obese people must control weight. Proper weight loss can increase insulin secretion, thus alleviating the symptoms of diabetes. If patients can adhere to weight loss, they can also gradually alleviate the situation of diabetes.  Gastric bypass surgery for effective treatment of type 2 diabetes Studies have shown that patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery were able to achieve complete remission of blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to those who only underwent traditional medication. Two years after undergoing gastric bypass surgery, patients had a 75% remission rate of diabetes.  In addition, gastric bypass surgery significantly resolves or improves type 2 diabetes and other obesity comorbidities such as hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome and more.
