What will a person with prediabetes look like in ten years? Depends on three things you do
【Professional doctors tell you about your health every day】
Mr. Zhang's physical examination showed that the fasting blood sugar was 6.8mmol/L, which had exceeded the upper limit of the normal value of 6.1mmol/L. Although it had not reached the diagnostic standard of more than 7.0mmol/L, it was already in the range of pre-diabetes. He wondered, could this situation return to normal? how much time is required? What should be done? Especially ten years from now?
Most physical examinations only include fasting blood sugar in the detection of blood sugar. In fact, whether the blood sugar is normal or not also needs to detect blood sugar 2 hours after a meal at the same time, which is divided into three situations:
Normal blood sugar: fasting blood sugar 3.9-6.1mmol/L and 2-hour postprandial blood sugar 4.4-7.8mmol/L
Prediabetes: fasting blood glucose 6.1-7.0mmol/L and (or) 2-hour postprandial blood glucose 7.8-11.1mmol/L
Diabetes: Fasting blood glucose greater than 7.0 mmol/L and/or 2-hour postprandial blood glucose greater than 11.1 mmol/L
It should be noted that: the blood sugar at both time points is in the normal range at the same time, it is normal blood sugar, and as long as one exceeds the standard, it can be diagnosed as prediabetes or diabetes. If you are clearly in pre-diabetes, what will happen in the future, such as ten years later, mainly depends on whether you have taken timely and effective intervention measures. It depends on how well you do these things?
Eating more breakfast and eating a reasonable diet is the most basic intervention to control blood sugar, which can reduce the source of blood sugar. A reasonable diet is not only about eating less, but there are two key points to pay special attention to: first, a reasonable mix of food, which reduces the amount of staple food. At the same time, it is necessary to moderately increase the intake of high-quality protein such as lean meat, milk eggs and soy products; the second is to eat more breakfast, which is very important.
Studies have confirmed that the human body is the most important stage for obtaining various nutrients in the morning and morning, because the body starts various physiological activities after a night of rest, and needs timely nutritional supplements. More importantly, the process of the body's absorption and utilization of nutrients is also a process of energy consumption. Compared with lunch, dinner and breakfast, the increase in blood sugar is the smallest, which can be 1-2 mmmmol/L lower. Therefore, breakfast should be the richest and largest meal of the three meals a day, and dinner should be the least meal.
Clinical statistics show that most people with abnormal blood sugar either do not eat breakfast for a long time, or eat a casual and simple breakfast, such as only one bread, a few biscuits, lack of milk eggs, fruits and vegetables, after insisting on eating a reasonable breakfast, all It will be easier and more effective to control your blood sugar.
The principle of adhering to the measure of exercise is very simple. Exercise can consume more blood sugar. The key is to meet the requirements of the amount of exercise, such as 30-45 minutes of sweaty aerobic exercise every day, jogging, brisk walking, swimming, Tai Chi, You can choose to dance square dance and so on.
This is one of the most easily overlooked problems. If you don’t sleep when you should sleep, the body that should be resting will be in a state of excitement. Various physiological activities are always active. Islet cells that are closely related to blood sugar utilization have to continue to secrete insulin. To meet the needs of the body, it will be damaged or even apoptotic in the long run, and blood sugar will be more difficult to control and progress to diabetes.
Some people may say, is it not enough to stay up all night to make up for sleep during the day? The research that won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2017 revealed that violation of the normal circadian rhythm of the human body is causing more and more people to develop diabetes and high blood pressure. The result of this operation is the occurrence of disease, so falling asleep before 23:00 every night is a must for people with prediabetes.
To sum up, if a standardized and reasonable lifestyle intervention can be taken in pre-diabetes, the body can reduce or even eliminate islet cell damage and restore its own blood sugar regulation function to the greatest extent. Taking drugs that inhibit glucose absorption and promote blood sugar utilization for a period of time will not progress to diabetes for ten or even more than twenty years, otherwise people will soon become diabetic within 1-3 years. The extent depends on how well the above three things are done.
