Today is World Diabetes Day. Among middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 50, diabetic patients account for about 8%, and the complications caused by diabetes are far more than that. Diabetic foot, diabetic eye disease, diabetic nephropathy, cardiovascular diseases caused by diabetes, such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, and vascular sclerosis, have greatly reduced the happiness of the elderly in their lives, and are more like a time bomb, endangering the lives of the elderly at all times and affecting the hearts of billions of children.
Ultimately speaking, there is no good treatment for diabetes at present, and there is no way to completely cure it. However, it is still a relatively easy-to-treat disease, as long as blood sugar is controlled, it is enough. To be fair, I hope that all people with diabetes will remember these 4 points, and blood pressure and blood sugar will benefit.
1. Be careful of misunderstandings
Controlling blood sugar does not mean not eating sugar. Many people rarely eat staple foods in order to control blood sugar. Although staple foods do increase blood sugar, not eating or eating too little will still bring burden to the body. Simply put, if you eat less staple food, the intake of other vegetables and meat will increase. If you consume more protein, it is easy to cause it. Metabolic function disorders increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and in severe cases, it will also lead to increased blood lipids and increase the risk of ketoacidosis. Therefore, you should still eat staple food, which should account for 50-60% of the daily intake.
2. Good eating habits
A good diet combination is a good helper for controlling sugar. You can choose rice + oats, brown rice, millet, and various beans. Eat less fine grains, eat more coarse grains, use corn, potatoes, etc. instead of rice, etc. In addition, you can change the order of meals to adjust your blood sugar, first eat coarse vegetables, and finally eat some high-sugar staple foods. In addition, changing the cooking method is also a good choice. Eat less soft and rotten foods that increase sugar faster, and increase the time to eat and chew slowly. These methods can help control blood sugar.
blood sugar measurement
3. Regular measurement and timely take medicine
Diabetes is called "invisible killer". If it doesn't take action, it will be hospitalized as soon as it takes action. Because there are no symptoms in normal times, it is very difficult to treat when symptoms appear, so it is very important to control the body's blood sugar! Regular measurement, giving the body a vaccination, adjusting blood sugar from time to time, taking medicine on time, and maintaining blood sugar stability are the key to preventing complications.
There are many diabetic patients around you. It is also a common disease, but there are very few people who can control their blood sugar, control their mouths and legs, and health is never a matter for others. I hope that all diabetic patients should always pay attention to blood sugar indicators to avoid the occurrence of complications.
