China’s economic take-off has made us feel happy; however, the development of diabetes has also made us feel worried. What was once a “disease of wealth” has become a common disease today. The latest diabetes survey results show that the number of people with diabetes in China is about 140 million, which has reached the point where it claims to be second and no other country in the world dares to be first. An even more alarming statistic is that the estimated prevalence of pre-diabetes in China is 50.1%, with about 490 million pre-diabetics. In a trance, we seem to be divided into three major groups: the diabetic population, the pre-diabetic population, and the non-diabetic population. And within this non-diabetic population, there is another segment that belongs to the high-risk group of diabetes, acting as a backup for the other two groups. As an adult, you are responsible for eating and living on your own, do you have the following risk factors for diabetes?
1.Age ≥ 40 years old
The pace of diabetes prevention and control is getting more and more urgent, 5 years earlier than in 2010.
2, have a history of impaired glucose regulation
Ever checked and found fasting glucose or 2 hours postprandial glucose increased
3.Overweight or obesity and/or central obesity
Divide weight (kg) by height (m) and then by height (m), and the result is overweight if ≥24kg/m2 and obese if ≥28kg/m2. Obese people then measure their waist circumference, if the waist circumference of men ≥ 90cm, women waist circumference ≥ 85cm, is known as central obesity, is often said to be apple-shaped body, suggesting that the visceral fat content is too high. Hurry up to develop a reliable weight loss plan.
4, sedentary lifestyle
This sentence seems to be said to the office white-collar listen, but applies to all “not participate in at least 3 days a week, not less than 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity physical activity, and lasted more than 3 months” of the crowd. People who work under high tension and have a heavy psychological burden should pay attention.
5.Family history of type 2 diabetes in first-degree relatives
It is their parents, brothers and sisters suffering from diabetes. Watching them take injections and medication is a good way to remind yourself not to let yourself become a first-degree relative of your child.
6, women with a history of gigantic childbirth or a family history of gestational diabetes
A giant baby is a baby whose birth weight is ≥ 4kg. It is indeed a joy to give birth to a “big fat boy” or “big fat girl”, but you should also pay attention to your own body and consider whether you have over-nourished during pregnancy. If you are diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy (most of which can return to normal after delivery), especially if you have a fat body type, it is best to seek out a nutrition clinic to make a reasonable nutritional plan for breastfeeding, rather than blindly taking supplements.
7.Patients with hypertension, or receiving antihypertensive treatment; dyslipidemia, or receiving lipid regulating treatment; atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Since we are already suffering from the disease, we should take care of our body to prevent diabetes from taking advantage of the situation.
8.People with a history of transient steroidal diabetes
Have applied hormones to treat the disease, and in the process of treatment there has been an increase in blood sugar.
9.Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
The ultrasound technology nowadays has allowed many young women to detect their condition earlier.
10.Patients receiving long-term antipsychotic and/or antidepressant medication
The use of medication to control mental suffering can sometimes bring about physical illness.
Early screening for diabetes is advisable regardless of age if you have any one or more of the above risk factors for diabetes. If the first screening result is normal, it is advisable to repeat the screening at least once every 3 years. “Early prevention, early detection and early treatment” is the most fundamental principle in the treatment of all diseases.
