Recently, people often say something to me in my ears: Haven’t seen you for only a few weeks, are you fat? Could it be that the salary increase improves life? In fact, they don’t need to say that I have discovered that my weight, which I am proud of for several years, has suddenly increased. And there are more than one strange thing. I feel very tired at work. I am so tired that I just want to fall asleep when I go home. Now I suddenly can’t even see my eyes clearly. Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar face in the mirror, I suddenly realize that there might be something wrong with my physical condition...
Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes … Diabetes… I thought this was a disease that only the elderly would get, but I am only 23 years old! The hospital doctor asked me to do blood routine and blood sugar test . As expected, the blood sugar level was particularly high, and the concentration reached 11.7 mmol/L 2 hours after the meal. Later, he had a glycated protein test and was finally diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Yes, I am only 23 years old and have diabetes. But I don’t eat a lot of sweets in my daily life. I only drink three cents of sugar when I eat milk tea occasionally, and only buy sugar-free beverages. Nowadays, I often think I eat it very healthily, and health preservation has become the creed of many young people. But you say you don’t eat much sweets, do you like to be heavy with salt and spicy?
In fact, heavy with salt and spicy is the killer hidden in daily diet. I don’t just like to be heavy with salt and spicy, it’s simply a good thing if you don’t have spicy food! I eat all kinds of heavy and spicy foods almost every day. This habit started after I moved to a new company. Ordering a spicy hot pot every day after get off work has become my magic weapon to fight stress. Every night shopping cart has various spicy strips locked.
In fact, you thought you were eating spicy food, but in fact you ate more sugar without realizing it. The spicy flavors in Chinese food require sugar to improve freshness! Home cooking may stop at the right time, but restaurants and snack bars all contain a lot of sugar. 30 kilograms of water and 3 kilograms of rock sugar are delicious! This will make us intake too much sugar without knowing it. This leads to chronic hyperglycemia, and the insulin receptor on the body's cells eventually becomes less sensitive due to long-term exposure to excessive insulin . This is insulin resistance.
And a high-salt diet will also increase the burden on the kidneys and heart, causing blood pressure fluctuations, etc., which will aggravate diabetes. The doctor from Manman Treatment told me that my condition is in the early stage of diabetes. No need to take medicine yet. The condition can be relieved by controlling diet and exercise. The first is to choose foods with a hypoglycemia index (GI) diet, which cause a smaller postprandial blood sugar response.
Next, I will share with you what are low blood sugar foods.
Cereals and products : barley, rye , corn; black rice , wheat cultivation, cornmeal porridge.
Beans and products: mung beans , red beans, broad beans, peas, lentils , green beans .
Dairy and products: milk, yogurt, milk powder, cheese.
Potatoes and products: potato vermicelli, sweet potato vermicelli, lotus root powder.
Vegetables: celery, onion, cabbage, rapeseed, lettuce.
Fruits: apple, peach, apricot, plum, pear, strawberry , blueberries, pomegranates, oranges, grapefruits, oranges.
Nuts: peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, cashews , melon seeds.
Meat and aquatic products: red meat, poultry, sea vegetables , seaweed, fish shrimps and crabs .
Next is that aerobic exercise can improve insulin resistance. Exercise for about 30 minutes after meals every day, and persisting for more than 5 days a week can have a good effect. Quick walking, jogging, swimming, cycling and ball sports are all good choices.
After several months of recuperation, my health has improved most of the time. I have carried out some early diabetes patients who need not undergoing medication and have met the effect of the final improvement of the disease and are quite satisfied~
