42 years of diabetes
I got diabetes 42 years ago and every time my blood sugar goes up, I take these steps and it works great every time! In fact, the method is very simple, diabetic friends may wish to refer to it, I hope it will be useful to you!
I think the reason why blood sugar rises is nothing more than these points. As long as the cause is identified, a solution can be found.
- Overeating
Carbohydrates are the most likely to raise blood sugar, and staple food is the main source of carbohydrates. This is why doctors emphasize the need to control staple foods.
Generally, diabetics should eat about 62 meters (raw rice weight) every day. Note that the "rice" mentioned here actually includes all staple foods, such as rice, millet, noodles, steamed bread, etc. that we often eat.
In addition, many sugar lovers like to eat sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes and other root foods, because most of them are rich in starch, so they should be eaten as staple food, not as ordinary vegetables.
If the intake of staple food exceeds the standard, such as more than 2 taels per meal, it may cause blood sugar to rise. At this time, the amount of staple food can be appropriately reduced.
- Too little exercise
Exercise is a good way to lower blood sugar, especially 1 hour after a meal, it has a good effect on controlling blood sugar after a meal. Exercise also has many benefits, such as strengthening the body, improving immunity, speeding up metabolism and so on.
If a diabetic eats a regular diet but does not exercise too much, it is very likely that the blood sugar after meals will be high. At this time, as long as the amount of exercise is increased, it can have a better effect of lowering blood sugar.
It is recommended that diabetics do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at least 5 times a week, each time not less than 30 minutes, brisk walking, jogging, Tai Chi, square dancing, etc., are all acceptable.
- Mood swings
When people are nervous, angry or overexcited, blood sugar will also be affected. Studies have shown that bad emotions can inhibit the secretion of insulin, causing an increase in the hormone that raises glucose, thereby raising blood sugar.
Therefore, for people with diabetes, in terms of emotions, they should try to maintain a peaceful state of mind. Whether it is in the face of disease or the pressure of work and life, they can face it rationally, learn to release pressure and regulate their emotions.
- Insulin resistance
Diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease, which means that once you have diabetes, the course of the disease will increase with age, and theoretically, the disease will become more serious, which is related to further damage to pancreatic islet function.
Type 2 diabetes mostly has the problem of insulin resistance. When a certain hypoglycemic drug is taken for a long time, the cells will also produce "resistance", which reduces the effect of the drug.
It is recommended that people with diabetes can take combined medication under the guidance of a doctor to complement each other's advantages. After all, there are many types of hypoglycemic drugs, which can be used in combination.
Of course, if your blood sugar remains high after active lifestyle intervention and combined medication, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, follow the doctor's advice, control your blood sugar, and reduce the risk of complications.
