At present, the number of people with diabetes in our country has reached 130 million, ranking first in the world, of which 90% are patients with type 2 diabetes. What's even more terrifying is that there are nearly 40% of people in the general population who don't know their usual blood sugar levels and nearly 70% of them. They find that their blood sugar levels have not been controlled to meet the standards after the increase. In the end, the patient's risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, , etc.
1. People of different ages have different blood sugar requirements
For adolescents in the developmental stage, because they consume more energy every day, their fasting blood sugar can be maintained at 3.9-6.1mmol/L, and their blood sugar should be less than 7.8mmol/L for two hours after a meal.
For middle-aged people aged 40-60, due to the great pressure in life, their daily diet is very irregular. Therefore, their fasting blood sugar can be maintained at 4.4~6.1mol/L, and their blood sugar should be less than 8.0 for two hours after the meal.
For the elderly over 65 years old, due to the gradual decline in physical functions, the secretion of insulin and various metabolic hormones in the body also gradually decreases. Therefore, their fasting blood sugar can be controlled between 6.1 and 7.0, and their blood sugar can be controlled between 8.0 and 10.0 for two hours after meals.
For people over 75 years old, blood sugar is prone to increased due to very little insulin secretion in the body, but people at this age are prone to hypoglycemia. Therefore, their fasting blood sugar can be maintained at around 7.0~9.0, and their blood sugar can be controlled between 8.0~11.0 for two hours after meals.
2. Which people are prone to diabetes?
Diabetes will not find someone for no reason, but are prone to increased blood sugar, which is mainly seen in the following groups:
1. People with a family history of diabetes. Diabetes has a certain relationship with genetics, especially those with diabetes, and the probability of children developing diabetes is as high as 50%. Therefore, for patients with a family history of diabetes, they must pay attention to a good diet and exercise more physically.
Second, obese people. Data show that about 60% to 80% of the population in secondary diabetes have different degrees of obesity before the onset of the disease, especially abdominal obesity. Overweight and obesity will increase the burden on islet cells, resulting in insulin resistance and ultimately lead to diabetes. Therefore, if you want to prevent diabetes, you should start by controlling your weight and eating less high-calorie and high-fat foods.
Third, people over 45 years old and have irregular life. The onset of diabetes is actually positively correlated with age. As we grow older, the body's metabolic capacity declines, the failure of various organs, and the reduction of insulin secretion will all lead to an increase in blood sugar.
Especially for those who are over 45 years old, who are under too much mental stress, overeating for a long time, staying up late and sitting for a long time, and have irregular work and rest, they are prone to diabetes.
For people with metabolic disorders such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, National Health Commission is recommended that everyone should, should pay attention to their blood sugar changes from the age of 35.
