Type 2 diabetes can be lowered by diet control, exercise, oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injection.
1. Dietary control: Reasonable control of total calorie intake, rational allocation of the proportion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, the supply of carbohydrates in the diet should account for 50%~60% of the total calories, protein intake accounts for 15%~20% of the total calories, and fats account for 25%~30% of the total calories.
2. Exercise: Exercise can increase insulin sensitivity, which is conducive to controlling blood sugar and weight. Diabetic patients can carry out suitable exercise under the guidance of physicians, step by step, long-term persistence, it is recommended that 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week.
3. Oral hypoglycemic drugs: Diabetic patients can control their blood sugar by taking oral hypoglycemic drugs. The most commonly used hypoglycemic drug is metformin, which is the drug of choice for the treatment of diabetes. Adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur after taking metformin.
4. Insulin injection: If blood sugar still cannot be controlled by oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin injection is an option. The common adverse reaction of insulin injection is hypoglycemia, so it is necessary to monitor blood glucose and adjust the dose of insulin according to the blood glucose level.
Diabetic patients need to go to regular hospitals, use hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of professional doctors, monitor blood glucose during use, and do not use or arbitrarily adjust the dose.
