Misconceptions about diabetes

  Is diabetes related to the love of sugar?  The answer is no. Blood sugar is the glucose in the blood, mainly transformed from food, and its level is stable in healthy people, while insulin is the only substance in the body that plays a role in lowering blood sugar. The more sugar a normal person eats, the more insulin is secreted in the body to maintain the elevated blood sugar at a stable level, so the more sugar a normal person eats, the less it causes an abnormal rise in blood sugar. So what kind of people are prone to get diabetes? These people include: people with a family history of diabetes, obese people, especially abdominal obese people, people who consume a high-calorie diet for a long time, people who lead an irregular life, people with excessive physical and mental labor, and women who give birth to newborns over 4 kg, etc. Therefore, these people should pay attention to regular diet and exercise, try to reduce the risk factors that increase the incidence of diabetes, and screen their blood sugar regularly.
