The word “fatty liver” is not new to sugar lovers, but not many of them know that fatty liver is a silent “killer”. Because fatty liver is often asymptomatic in its early stages, most sugar lovers are not fully aware of its dangers. In fact, almost one out of every two people with diabetes may have fatty liver. The combination of diabetes and fatty liver can lead to increased insulin resistance, which makes blood sugar more difficult to control, and the continuous high blood sugar can make the fatty liver further develop, the two “wolf for wolf”, forming a vicious circle, bringing great harm to sugar lovers. Why are sugar lovers more likely to get fatty liver? This is because the glucose and fatty acids in the body of diabetic patients cannot be absorbed normally and the synthesis of lipoproteins is impaired, which makes most of the glucose and fatty acids turn into fat in the liver and accumulate in the liver, thus forming a fatty liver. In diabetic patients with fatty liver, there are often no symptoms or only fatigue, discomfort in the liver area (stuffiness, swelling and occasional pain) in the early stage, and doctors and patients do not pay enough attention to this. If left untreated, it will gradually develop into steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and the risk of death increases greatly. At the same time, patients with fatty liver further aggravate insulin resistance and disorders of glucose metabolism, especially when they develop severe fatty liver or cirrhosis, the liver functions abnormally, making glucose metabolism more disordered and unable to convert excessive blood sugar into liver glycogen storage, thus causing blood sugar to remain at a high level and aggravating diabetes, forming a vicious circle. Another medical research shows that abnormal liver enzymes and fatty liver as indicated by ultrasound are now used as early predictors of metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis, and effective prevention and treatment of fatty liver is expected to reduce cirrhosis, diabetes and cardiovascular events at the same time. How to deal with the silent “killer” of fatty liver? In addition to actively controlling blood sugar and choosing appropriate liver-protecting, enzyme-lowering and lipid-removing drugs under the advice of doctors, sugar lovers also need to pay attention to the following adjustments in their daily lives. 1, diet: after suffering from diabetes most sugar lovers know to pay attention to the choice of low-calorie, low-fat, low delicate and low-salt diet, but combined with fatty liver sugar lovers must ensure daily intake of 80 to 100g of high-quality protein, such as lean pork, beef, fish, egg whites, milk, etc., which is instead conducive to the removal of fat in the liver. This is because a high-protein diet can help promote the recovery and regeneration of liver cell function and increase apolipoproteins, which are conducive to the smooth transport of lipids out of the liver and reduce fatty liver. Inadequate protein intake can aggravate fatty deposits in the liver. In addition, attention should be paid to the intake of a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and high fiber, because when the liver is damaged, it can affect the absorption of vitamins, especially vitamins A, B, C and K, which should be replenished in time. The intake of trace elements and minerals is also important, especially zinc, because zinc is needed to supplement liver function. Sugar lovers should also consume low sugar fruits and vegetables. In addition, foods like oats, millet, corn, sweet potatoes and soy products are rich in linoleic acid, calcium, vitamin B and E, which can lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides and maintain the body’s acid-base balance, so sugar lovers can also choose to eat. 2, scientific exercise to reduce weight: for obese fatty liver patients, exercise therapy is more important than simple dieting to lose weight, to adhere to a medium amount of long-term aerobic exercise, that is, 50% of the maximum intensity of exercise, heart rate to a certain standard, each lasting 30 minutes, more than 3 times a week. Note to avoid exercise on an empty stomach or immediately after a meal, should be appropriate to exercise a few moments after the meal. When exercising after meals, be careful to avoid the peak of drug action to avoid hypoglycemia. It should be reminded that obese fatty liver patients should not lose weight too fast, the weight loss should be less than 0.5 kg per week. too fast weight loss (more than 5 kg per month), on the contrary, can induce and aggravate steatohepatitis or liver necrosis. Also pay attention to weight rebound, weight maintenance in a reasonable range plays a decisive role in whether obese fatty liver recurrence, repeated fluctuations in weight may also cause the occurrence of steatohepatitis or liver fibrosis.
