"10 years ago, the blood sugar in the physical examination was 6.7mmol/L, and today it has never exceeded 7.0mmol/L. The doctor said that my condition is very good, and the possibility of developing diabetes is very small. Many people can't do it. to me."
[Doctor's Comments] Blood sugar testing is a routine item of physical examination. Generally, fasting blood sugar is detected in physical examination. If fasting blood sugar exceeds 6.1 mmol/L but is less than 7.0 mmol/L, it is called impaired fasting blood sugar, indicating that it is in pre-diabetes. It should be reminded that if the fasting blood sugar is in this range, be sure to check the blood sugar 2 hours after the meal.
Because the time of abnormal postprandial blood glucose is often earlier than the time of abnormal fasting blood sugar, if it is between 7.8-11.1mmol/L, it indicates that it is also in the pre-diabetic stage, and if it is greater than 11.1mmol/L, it indicates that it is already suffering from diabetes.
"Fortunately, after further examination, I was only in pre-diabetes. The doctor said that I can control it well, and I can prevent it from developing into diabetes. The method of control is actually very simple. Exercise raises blood sugar.”
[Doctor's Comments] Bad living habits will not only disrupt the body's normal circadian rhythm, but also cause various metabolic disorders, such as elevated blood lipids, obesity, and insulin resistance. Several studies have shown that the vast majority of initial dysglycemia is attributable to insulin resistance.
At this time, the own islet cells are not damaged, but are in a state of overloaded work, just like working overtime for a long time. If you don't get a timely rest, you will soon be damaged and continue to die, and you will enter the stage of diabetes.
"I started to pay attention not to eat too much at three meals, and I still have to find time to exercise every day no matter how busy I am, and I have checked a lot of information, unlike some people who dare not eat, then they can't eat, basically just eat whatever they want. What to eat, just be careful not to eat too much. At the beginning, the blood sugar did not drop much, but after a period of time, the blood sugar became lower and lower, and it basically dropped to the normal level, and a change occurred in my body. It was this change that made my blood sugar It has remained very stable.”
[Doctor's Comments] Prevention and treatment of diabetes requires learning, otherwise you will enter some misunderstandings, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, vermicelli, etc. when your blood sugar is high. The total calorie intake in the food, rather than restricting what food to eat, such as replacing 1 tael of rice noodles with 2 taels of sweet potatoes.
On the contrary, restricting the type of food will lead to imbalance of various nutrients, which is more likely to aggravate the disorder of metabolism and make blood sugar more difficult to control. 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. This is the body mass index.
Body mass index not only reflects the weight of the body, but also represents whether the proportion of fat in the body is appropriate, and it can also reflect the existence of insulin resistance. It is greatly affected by lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and rest. Studies have confirmed that maintaining an appropriate body mass index is the basis and guarantee for the prevention of 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, prediabetes can last for ten or even twenty years without developing into diabetes.
"My body change refers to the change in my body mass index. It used to be around 26. Since it dropped to around 23, my blood sugar has remained stable. It has been ten years since I felt very good. They say that the more I live, the younger I am."
If you notice an increase in your blood sugar, or even if you've been diagnosed with diabetes, are you on target for your BMI?
