Myth 1: Diabetes is mainly caused by eating too much sugar or sweets. In fact, diabetes is a chronic systemic metabolic disease caused by a long-term combination of genetic and environmental factors. Risk factors for diabetes include genetics, high-calorie, high-fat diet, too little physical activity, obesity, increasing age, and psychological stress. Myth 2: Diabetes is a disease of the middle-aged and the young cannot get diabetes. Nowadays, the trend of diabetes has become younger, and young people also need to develop healthy behaviors and lifestyles and pay attention to the prevention of diabetes. Regular medical checkups can help with early detection of diabetes and take early measures and treatment. Myth #3: All you need to do is take medication if you have diabetes. Diabetes cannot be treated only with medication, but requires comprehensive treatment, including diet control, psychological balance, scientific exercise, scientific monitoring, etc. Myth 4: Diabetes diet therapy is mainly about controlling the intake of sugar or staple foods. This is wrong. The key to diabetic diet treatment is to control the total daily dietary calories. Myth 5: The lower the blood sugar control, the better. This is not true. Blood sugar should be controlled within a certain range, not too high or too low. Well-controlled blood sugar can reduce the occurrence and development of diabetes complications, and low blood sugar can lead to hypoglycemia. Misconception 6: As long as you take more glucose-lowering drugs, you can not control your diet. The correct approach should be that diet therapy is the basis of comprehensive diabetes treatment. Myth 7: Diabetes monitoring only requires blood glucose testing. In fact, the main indicators for monitoring the glycemic control of diabetes include blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Glycosylated hemoglobin is the most important indicator to assess long-term blood glucose control. Myth 8: Although diagnosed with diabetes, if you do not feel uncomfortable, you can skip the test without treatment. The correct approach should be that diabetes requires timely and early formal screening and treatment. Myth 9: Blood glucose is already controlled within the normal range, so there is no need for blood glucose monitoring and medication. The correct approach is that diabetes is currently incurable and requires lifelong treatment. Myth 10: Some health supplements can cure diabetes. Nutraceuticals cannot effectively treat, much less cure, diabetes. Health supplements cannot replace drugs. Health supplements are a type of food with the commonality of general food, which can regulate the functions of the human body and adapt to the use of specific people, but cannot be used for the purpose of treating diseases.
