Many people with diabetes equate diabetes with diabetes complications, but the two are actually not the same. Diabetes itself is not terrible, what is terrible is the life-threatening complications, as long as the blood sugar is well controlled, complications can be prevented. 1. “You can’t eat anything if you have diabetes” Diabetic diet treatment is to arrange the diet scientifically according to the body’s needs and different conditions, as long as the calories and nutrients match properly, the diet can be colorful. 2. “When your blood sugar is well controlled, you can relax your diet” The treatment of diabetes is a comprehensive treatment of diet, exercise and medicine, and diet is the indispensable foundation. Good and consistent diet therapy can not only reduce the amount of drugs, but also maintain a stable weight and metabolic status. 3, “I only eat diabetic food!” In fact, the nutrients in diabetic food are no different from ordinary food. If patients do not pay attention to the principles of diabetic diet treatment and think that as long as they eat “diabetic food”, their blood sugar will not be a problem, this is very dangerous. 4, “Because I have diabetes, so I have to control drinking water!” Drinking more water is a manifestation of water shortage in the body, which is a kind of protective reaction of the human body. Controlling drinking water after diabetes not only cannot cure diabetes, but also makes diabetes more serious, which can cause ketoacidosis or hypertonic coma, which is very dangerous. 5, “daily work can replace exercise” Some people think that doing housework every day, walking back and forth to work has been very fatigue, can replace exercise. The exercise we require is continuous, adhere to 30-45 minutes, so that the heart rate increases, but not to panic, shortness of breath, sweating profusely. 6, “Metformin hurts the kidneys, can not use” Metformin has been clinically used in the treatment of diabetes for more than half a century, is a cheap and effective oral hypoglycemic drugs, especially for obese patients with type 2 diabetes, no nephrotoxicity, does not lower normal blood sugar (blood sugar normal after no longer falling), but the patients taking it need to have a certain Glomerular filtration function, as with other drugs, need to be applied under the guidance of a physician. 7, “insulin can’t be withdrawn if you take it” Insulin injection is also a treatment for lowering blood glucose, and whether insulin needs to be injected continuously or applied for a short period of time is decided according to changes in the condition, not set in stone. 8.Chinese herbal medicine can cure diabetes! The medical community has not yet found a cure for diabetes, and the same is true for Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is very profound, and the medicinal properties of Chinese medicine are complex, and the therapeutic effect on diabetes is yet to be further studied.
