Type I diabetes, most often seen in adolescents, is an autoimmune disease with familial onset and is associated with viral infections,
such as coxsackievirus, mumps virus, and rubella virus. Viruses can damage islet cells directly or induce an autoimmune response, mediated by multiple autoantibodies, lymphocytes, and destruction of pancreatic B cells, thus causing absolute insulin hypersecretion.
Type I diabetes generally has a more rapid onset and three more symptoms are more obvious. If you have been diagnosed with type I diabetes, then you should learn to observe the condition yourself.
Regularly check your blood glucose, blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, fundus, weight, etc. to correctly determine your condition. The first thing you need to do is to take the candy or snack with you when you have symptoms of hypoglycemia such as hunger, palpitations, cold sweats, dizziness and weakness or trembling of the limbs.
People with type I diabetes are advised to exercise after meals to avoid post-exercise hypoglycemia, for about 30 minutes at a time, and not to exercise a lot or for too long. In terms of controlling the total calorie intake, controlling total calories is the key to dietary therapy. When hunger occurs, vegetables, soy products, and high-fiber foods can be used to fill the hunger, and the total calories remain the same. The main food advocates using coarse rice, noodles, and moderate amounts of mixed grains, and strictly controlling various sweet foods, such as candy noodles, cakes, sweet snacks, sugary drinks, and fruits with high sugar content.
