In this era of fierce competition, although the standard of living has improved, the lack of awareness of self-protection has led to an increasing number of people with diabetes. Now people are beginning to realize the horror of this “sweet killer” and some people even talk about “sugar”, in fact, although diabetes is a lifelong disease, but as long as the blood sugar control is not terrible, in fact, as long as the courage to face, actively adjust the mindset, master the relevant In fact, as long as you have the courage to face it, actively adjust your attitude, master the relevant knowledge, and find a lifestyle that suits you, you can have a happy life as a normal person; what’s more, with the ever-changing modern medicine, the understanding of diabetes is more in-depth, the treatment is more standardized, and the technology is more advanced, so it is entirely possible to obtain a high quality of life. However, if the blood sugar is not well controlled, or if you do not pay attention to it, thinking that it is a chronic disease that is not life-threatening for the time being, and do not seek medical advice and treatment in time, then you may develop retinopathy, diabetic foot, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and other complications, which will eventually lead to tragedy. We call on diabetic patients to cherish their lives, cooperate with treatment and pay attention to check-ups so as to keep complications away. It is well known that the typical symptoms of diabetes are “three more and one less”: drinking more, eating more, urinating more and losing weight. One of the easiest ways to test: draw blood from a vein to measure blood sugar. Generally fasting blood sugar >7.0mmol/L or two hours after meal blood sugar >11.0mmol/L, that can indicate that your blood sugar is high. Of course, the diagnosis of diabetes should not be based on a high blood sugar alone, although a missed diagnosis can lead to serious consequences, but a misdiagnosis can also bring harm to people – no disease every day to take drugs, and the wrong use of hypoglycemic drugs can lead to life-threatening hypoglycemia, do you think the injustice? Therefore, once you suspect that you have diabetes, you should go to the hospital to see a specialist in a timely manner, and do not seek treatment indiscriminately. The main clinical divisions of diabetes are: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, atopic diabetes, and gestational diabetes. When you are first diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing you need to do is to identify the type of diabetes, and that is to make sure that your doctor will give you a clear direction for treatment. The distinction can be made through auxiliary examinations: 1) three antibodies to diabetes (GAD, ICA, IAA), which are used to distinguish whether there is autoimmunity in pancreatic islet function; 2) C-peptide release test and OGTT test, which are used to observe the amount of insulin secretion and the peak secretion period. Once the diagnosis of diabetes is confirmed, in addition to the type of diabetes, it is also necessary to identify the causative factors and promoters of the disease, whether there are complications, and the degree of damage: early, middle or late stage. Whether there are co-morbidities, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, etc., which can aggravate each other. To identify the cause of the disease, identify the condition, identify the “culprits and accomplices”, and treat the disease with a full range of medications to achieve the best results. Blood glucose monitoring Whether you have just been diagnosed or have a history of the disease for many years, blood glucose monitoring is very important because blood glucose levels are the most direct indicator of diabetes treatment and the basis for doctors to adjust treatment plans. The purpose of diabetes treatment is to control blood sugar as close to normal as possible. The number of blood glucose monitoring should be monitored at any time according to the condition, doctor’s advice and your own needs. If blood glucose monitoring is a “point” concept, which only reflects the level at the time of measurement, then glycosylated hemoglobin is a “line” concept, which reflects the situation of blood glucose control in the last two years and two to three months, and is an important indicator to determine the long-term control of diabetes. Many studies have found that patients with diabetes who can reduce their glycosylated hemoglobin levels to below 6.5% will have significantly fewer complications from diabetes. If the glycosylated hemoglobin is >9%, it means that the patient is persistently hyperglycemic and will develop complications such as diabetic nephropathy, atherosclerosis, cataracts, and may develop acute complications such as ketoacidosis. Therefore, experts suggest that if blood glucose control has reached the standard and the state of blood glucose control is relatively stable, at least two glycated hemoglobin tests should be performed in the hospital every year; while patients with unstable blood glucose control and those who are under insulin treatment should have glycated hemoglobin measurement once every 2-3 months. Ancillary tests can help diabetic patients to know the existence of complications and also serve to prevent the development of complications.
