"10 years ago, the blood sugar in the physical examination was 6.7mmol/L, and it has never exceeded 7.0mmol/L today. The doctor said that my condition is very good, and the possibility of developing diabetes is very small if I persist. Many people can't do it. to me."
【Doctor Comments】Blood glucose detection is a routine item of physical examination. Generally, fasting blood glucose is detected in physical examination. If fasting blood glucose exceeds 6.1mmol/L but is less than 7.0mmol/L, it is called impaired fasting blood glucose, indicating pre-diabetes. What needs to be reminded is that if the fasting blood sugar is in this range, be sure to check the blood sugar 2 hours after the meal.
Because the postprandial blood sugar abnormality often occurs earlier than the fasting blood sugar abnormality, if it is between 7.8-11.1mmol/L, it indicates that it is also in the pre-diabetes stage, and if it is greater than 11.1mmol/L, it indicates that it is already suffering from diabetes.
"Fortunately, I was only in pre-diabetes after further examination. The doctor said that if I control it well, I may not develop diabetes. The method of control is actually very simple. I just keep my mouth open and open my legs. I also blame myself for eating irregularly and not loving it. Exercising raises blood sugar."
[Doctor's comment] Bad living habits will not only disrupt the normal circadian rhythm of the body, but also cause various metabolic disorders, such as increased blood lipids, obesity, and insulin resistance. Multiple studies have shown that the vast majority of initial dysglycemia is due to insulin resistance.
At this time, the own islet cells are not damaged, but are in a state of overload, just like working overtime for a long time. If they do not get a timely rest, they will be damaged soon and die continuously, and they will enter the stage of diabetes.
"I started to pay attention not to eat too much in three meals. No matter how busy I am every day, I have to take time out to do exercises. I have also consulted a lot of information. Unlike some people who dare not eat, they can't eat. Basically, they can eat whatever they want. What to eat, just be careful not to eat too much. At the beginning, my blood sugar did not drop much, but after a while, my blood sugar became lower and lower, and basically dropped to a normal level. There was also a change in my body. It was this change that made my blood sugar It has remained very stable.”
[Doctor Comments] It is necessary to learn to prevent and treat diabetes, otherwise you will enter some misunderstandings, such as eating sweet potatoes, potatoes, vermicelli, etc. if your blood sugar is high. The total calorie intake in food, rather than restricting what food to eat, for example, it is perfectly fine to replace 1 tael of rice noodles with 2 taels of sweet potatoes.
On the contrary, restricting the types of food will lead to an imbalance of various nutrients, more likely to aggravate metabolic disorders, and make it more difficult to control blood sugar. In fact, for people with high blood sugar, there is a very intuitive and effective way to judge whether your diet and exercise are reasonable, which is body mass index.
BMI not only reflects the weight, but also represents whether the proportion of fat in the body is appropriate, and can also reflect whether there is insulin resistance. It is greatly affected by lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and work and rest. Studies have confirmed that maintaining an appropriate body mass index is the basis and guarantee for preventing various metabolic diseases.
Body mass index = weight in kilograms/height in meters squared
Underweight: below 18.5 Normal: 18.5-23.99 Overweight: 24-28 Obese: 28-32 Very obese: above 32 The ideal BMI is 22
Studies have shown that if the body mass index can be maintained at a normal level, pre-diabetes can last for ten or even twenty years without developing into diabetes.
"My physical changes refer to changes in body mass index. It used to be around 26. Since it dropped to around 23, my blood sugar has been stable. I feel good for ten years. They say that I live younger and younger."
If you notice elevated blood sugar, or even if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, is your body mass index on target?
