Hello everyone, I am Dr. Yang Huasheng, the Center for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Beijing You'an Hospital.
In life, we often talk about " diabetes ". How does diabetes produce ? How should we prevent from ?
Today I will tell you about the relevant knowledge about diabetes .
First, I will draw a simple schematic diagram for you , first of all, our stomach , and then our intestinal .
Then what we eat in our human body absorbs a lot of sugar from the esophagus, to the stomach, to the intestine, digestion.
So these sugars, after being transformed, provide some energy needs for our daily survival and activities.
sugar absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is converted into by liver.
This liver is equivalent to a chemical factory.
or energy metabolism here, we can also compare it to an oil refinery.
The nutrients we absorb are like crude oil mined. The crude oil produced directly cannot be used. It must be processed by the refinery before we can use it.
The liver has such a function that can adjust the output frequency .
When our overall blood sugar is lower, for example, we have been eating for a long time and we have consumed a lot of calories in our body.
The liver converts the stored liver glycogen into glucose to let it enter the blood, so as to ensure that our body's blood sugar is a relatively balanced state of .
Then, When the liver stores liver glycogen or releases glucose, this function is damaged, it often manifests as diabetes .
So what is the concept of diabetes?
For example, if we just finished our meal, our blood sugar is relatively high, and its glucose cannot be effectively stored in the liver in the form of liver glycogen .
Then when we are hungry, the liver cannot effectively clear the blood.
So, characteristics of diabetic patients , means after meals hyperglycemia , then hunger in means hypoglycemia .
So what about the liver, it is a main organ responsible for to regulate the body's blood sugar balance .
The signal he accepts is insulin .
So in type 2 diabetes, which is the type of diabetes we currently have, the insulin in his body, secretes not too little but too much.
On the one hand, secretes too much insulin in ;
On the other hand, is poorly controlled with blood sugar.
In this case, it is most of our diabetes, and its common mechanism is called insulin resistance .
What is resistance? That is, the liver refuses to execute the command that signales insulin. Why does
refuse to execute? is mainly due to liver, which lacks the ability to store liver glycogen and transform .
So in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, liver is actually a key department .
Especially from the perspective of preventing diabetes, we must control fatty liver.
Fatty liver is often the early stage of diabetes. If fatty liver is not well controlled, most of them will easily develop into diabetes.
So to prevent diabetes, should start by controlling early fatty liver.
Today I will share with you the relevant knowledge about diabetes.
I hope today's popular science can help you. Welcome to like and collect it, and you can also forward the article to your friends around you. Pay attention to health, follow @hepatitis expert Director Yang Huasheng
