In daily life, some people find that after their blood sugar rises, they always try to find all kinds of reasons to refuse to take glucose-lowering drugs. In fact, these patients have mistakenly fallen into the misunderstanding of fear of medication. Here to remind sugar lovers, drug treatment of diabetes is also a common method, but we must not enter the “blind spot” of diabetes drug treatment. Blind spot one: high blood sugar, but not considered diabetes, do not need to take hypoglycemic drugs. The normal range of fasting blood sugar is 3.9~6.1 mmol/L, and the normal range of 2 hours after meal blood sugar is 6.1~7.8 mmol/L. Therefore, people who exceed the above two standards should not take any medication. Therefore, people who exceed the above two standards already have defective blood glucose regulation mechanism in their bodies. Some people think that if fasting blood sugar does not exceed 7 mmol/L and 2 hours after meal blood sugar does not exceed 11.1 mmol/L, they are not considered to be diabetic and do not need to take glucose-lowering drugs. Once blood glucose exceeds the normal range, it may cause damage to microvascular walls, peripheral nerves and other tissues and organs, and long-term elevated blood glucose may also lead to atherosclerosis, peripheral neuropathy and many other diseases. In addition, high blood sugar can lead to the decline of insulin secretion function of beta cells, reduce insulin secretion and further increase blood sugar, which will soon become serious diabetes. Therefore, once the blood glucose is found to be close to the normal value, the diet should be strictly controlled. If the blood glucose value still cannot return to normal, we should actively carry out “intervention therapy”, that is, taking glucosidase inhibitors or insulin sensitizers to prevent the emergence of complications and delay and stop the formation of diabetes. After a period of intervention, blood glucose should be rechecked, and if blood glucose levels return to normal, then glucose-lowering drugs can be stopped. Blind spot 2: Although you are diabetic, you do not have any symptoms, and it does not matter whether you use medication or not. After suffering from diabetes, if the blood sugar cannot be controlled within the normal range for a long time, a series of complications such as coronary heart disease, cataracts and peripheral neuropathy can also occur, resulting in damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and other major organs. Therefore, it is very important to actively take glucose-lowering drugs to control blood sugar in the normal range. Blind spot 3: Using glucose-lowering drugs can be addictive and damage liver and kidney functions, so try not to use them. Some people think that although their blood sugar is high, they feel good, they can eat and sleep well, and once they take glucose-lowering drugs, they will become addicted to them and take them every day and never leave them. It can be said for sure that taking hypoglycemic drugs is not addictive, as for eating and sleeping, is not a measure of health, there are many diseases that arise in eating and drinking, diabetes is one of them, and the more you eat, the higher the blood sugar. For diabetic patients, taking some hypoglycemic drugs appropriately to keep blood sugar in the normal range can reduce the toxicity of high blood sugar on pancreatic β-cells, prevent further decline of pancreatic islet function, and even restore pancreatic islet function, so that diabetes can be reduced. At present, the safety and effectiveness of the hypoglycemic drugs approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) have been fully affirmed, so diabetic patients can safely use them. However, while treating diabetes with medication, it is crucial not to enter the “blind spot” of medication as described above and to use medication rationally.
