Both high blood sugar and high blood lipids can be harmful and it is impossible to compare which one is more harmful to the body.
High blood sugar refers to elevated glucose levels in the blood, which may be transient hyperglycemia or diabetes. High blood lipids generally refer to hyperlipidemia. Both diabetes and hyperlipidemia affect human health, but who is more harmful to the human body cannot be compared, and is related to the severity of the disease.
Complications of diabetes can involve all organs of the body, chronic complications include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot, macrovascular lesions. Acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state, which can be life-threatening when the condition is critical.
For people with high blood sugar, they need to pay attention to their diet and limit the total calories in food. If diabetes, you should actively cooperate with the doctor to lower sugar treatment, you can take hypoglycemic drugs (metformin, acarbose, etc.) or inject insulin (low-arginine zinc human insulin, menthol insulin, etc.).
High blood lipid harm is most directly reflected in atherosclerosis. It is easy to cause blood viscosity caused by high lipid content in the blood, which will be deposited on the blood vessel wall and block the blood vessel, and gradually form small plaques, i.e. atherosclerosis that we usually say, which will lead to coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases.
For patients with hyperlipidemia, it is necessary to have a low-fat diet, adhere to exercise, and choose to take drugs such as lovastatin, ezetimibe, fenofibrate, etc. for treatment when necessary.
For patients with high blood sugar and high blood fat, both need to be actively dealt with, to the hospital for further treatment, to avoid delaying the condition.
