What should I pay attention to in my life if I want to control my blood sugar? Most people panic when they are diagnosed with diabetes, after all, diabetes has the title of “cancer”, but in fact, as long as you strictly follow the doctor’s treatment can reduce the occurrence or development of complications. In the treatment of diabetes, diet, exercise, drug therapy, along with diabetes education and self-monitoring of blood glucose five major principles of treatment, and has become the diabetes of the “five horse carriage”, as long as we master these five and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, blood glucose control in the normal range of no worry at all. Diet therapy: diet in the process of diabetes treatment is a very important step, we must control the total calorie intake, three meals a day at regular intervals, chewing and slow swallowing, eat less high-sugar, high-fat, high-salt things, and eat more vegetables and low-sugar fruits, and suggest that diabetic patients try to eat ‘dry’ food, try not to eat porridge such as thin food, after all, the longer the cooking time, the softer and more rotten food, which means that the blood sugar control within the normal range is not to worry about. After all, the longer the food is cooked, the softer and more rotten the food is, which means the better it is digested, and the faster the blood sugar rises. Exercise: Exercise is also something we need to stick to for a long time. Every day one hour after meals to carry out some appropriate exercise, never in the case of fasting exercise, it is easy to lead to hypoglycemia. However, exercise can improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin, reduce body weight, help control blood sugar, exercise can also exercise cardiopulmonary function, increase the body’s oxygen tolerance. Medications: Medications are essential, and blood sugar control medications are the key. For type 1 diabetes, because the pancreatic β-cells are severely damaged, insulin must be used to control blood sugar, while type 2 diabetes, because the pancreatic β-cells are not completely damaged, so we can take oral medication and pay attention to some of the diet and exercise will be able to control blood glucose, but if the pancreatic β-cells in the late stage of serious damage is also the need for insulin to treat. Diabetes education: The purpose of publicity and education is to let diabetic patients avoid entering some therapeutic misunderstandings (in fact, insulin is not addictive, it is based on your condition to see whether to stop using insulin; do not blindly add or subtract medication, be careful to lead to hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis; and do not randomly listen to superstitious beliefs, which not only will not cure diabetes, but also accelerate the killing of your life and other misconceptions). To be able to understand more about diabetes as a disease, in order to better treatment. Self-monitoring: Monitor your blood sugar 5 times a day (fasting blood sugar in the morning, 2 hours after meals, and before bedtime) for a better understanding of your blood sugar and condition, and provide timely feedback to your doctor if your blood sugar is high, so that your doctor can make some adjustments to your treatment.
