Ms. Zhang always needs to drink a large glass of water before going to bed. Although she knows that drinking water before going to bed will cause edema, she always feels dry mouth and cannot sleep without drinking water.

But drinking too much water will lead to polyuria and frequent waking up at night, which makes Ms. Zhang miserable…Ms. Zhang mentioned this problem to her friend, who is in the hospital At work, she suspected that Ms. Zhang might be diabetic, and asked Ms. Zhang to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.

I. What’s the matter with high blood sugar but no diagnosis of diabetes?

The latest epidemiological data on diabetes and prediabetes in China published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that the prevalence of diabetes in my country was 10.9%, and the prevalence of prediabetes was 35.7%.

span>means that about 500 million people in our country are prediabetic.

Pre-diabetes refers to a state of glucose metabolism disorder in which the blood sugar is too high, but does not meet the diagnostic criteria of diabetes. It is an early warning signal of diabetes. However, it is often overlooked because it has not yet reached the criteria for diagnosing diabetes.

Second, blood sugar rises, there will be “warning” when sleeping?

Pre-diabetes is mainly impaired glucose tolerance. Although there are no obvious symptoms, it is not without warning. Especially when sleeping at night, when these manifestations appear, we should be alert to the possibility of diabetes.

1. Sleep disturbances

A large proportion of people with diabetes have mild or moderate diabetes severe sleep-disordered breathing, often manifested as sleep apnea. Feeling tired and lethargic during the day and snoring too much at night.

2. Increased nocturia

The blood sugar in the patient increases and the blood becomes sticky Thickened, resulting in decreased renal tubular reabsorption of urine, resulting in increased urination. Especially at night, the frequency of urination at night will increase, causing discomfort and poor sleep.

3, numbness in hands and feet< /p>

Due to the long-term increase in blood sugar, the blood is too viscous, which can cause a series of metabolic disorders in nerve fibers, resulting in numbness of the hands and feet. Especially the numbness of the limbs at night, it is necessary to be more vigilant that the blood sugar is too high.

4. Dry mouth and thirst

Dry mouth and thirst are typical of diabetes Performance, due to uncontrolled blood sugar, blood becomes viscous, people will easily feel polydipsia, will increase water intake.

Drinking too much water will lead to more urine, and the body will easily be dehydrated. This cycle will continue, forming typical symptoms of diabetes.

Third, blood sugar fluctuates, how to stabilize blood sugar?

If you want to control your blood sugar well, remember these 3 points:

1. Eat a healthy diet

Diabetes patients must strictly follow the principle of regular and quantitative diet, estimate energy according to their body weight and activity level, and then allocate them to three meals a day. Consider dividing your daily energy into 50%, 30%, 20%.

In the order of meals, it is recommended to drink soup first, then eat vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, and finally eat the staple food. Eating this way will help lower blood sugar after meals.

2. Regular exercise

The combination of eating and moving helps to better control blood sugar , Some studies have found that brisk walking has the strongest ability to lower blood sugar.

Recommendation: People with diabetes participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, 2 times per week Group ~ 3 groups of resistance exercise.

3. Regularly measure blood sugar

Regular self-monitoring and recording of blood sugar can help For those with diabetes to detect abnormal blood sugar in time, the time points for blood sugar monitoring should include random blood sugar before three meals, 2 hours after three meals, before going to bed, midnight and other time points (especially when there are symptoms of hypoglycemia).

In addition, patients can flexibly choose the time and frequency of blood glucose monitoring according to their own conditions.

Blood sugar control is not just based on symptoms, nor is it based on a single measurement. Combination is the most accurate!
