Recently chatting with friends with diabetes, I found that some people with diabetes are afraid to eat sweets.
Some people with diabetes don’t check their blood sugar, because the blood sugar is high when they are tested, which is bad!
Some people with diabetes feel that they will be sick as soon as they go to the hospital, but if they don’t go to the hospital, they will be fine!
Do you have the same thoughts as above?
These 3 ideas will take people with diabetes step by step into the abyss of diabetes complications.
1. If hypoglycemia occurs, eat more sweet foods
hypoglycemia occurs , do eat sweet foods, but not too much, eating foods containing 15 grams of carbohydrates is enough.
A meal containing 15 grams of carbohydrates is equivalent to: 4 pieces Fruit sugar (4g/piece), or 3 pieces sugar cube (4.5g/piece), or 6 piecesGlucose tablets (2.5g/piece), juice with 10%-12% sugar content150ml. The specific amount depends on the food label and weight of the above food you purchased.
If the above amount is exceeded, the hypoglycemia will be relieved, but it will lead to a further increase in blood sugar and increase the difficulty of overall blood sugar control, that is, repeated hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
2. Blood sugar was high as soon as the blood sugar was measured, so I didn’t test it at all
The blood sugar is high as soon as I measure it, and I feel upset when I see the high blood sugar value. This feeling is understandable. But if you encounter the problem of high blood sugar, if you choose to escape, the blood sugar will not automatically drop.
If blood sugar is not measured for a long time, blood sugar will be high for a long time, and complications will be closer and closer. This is a situation that we do not want to see.
Therefore, for the sake of your own health, you should monitor your blood sugar regularly, no matter how high your blood sugar is, monitor your blood sugar at least once a week< /span>.
When you encounter high blood sugar, you should be fortunate to have caught the “devil” of high blood sugar. Through diet, exercise, and drug intervention, the blood sugar can be lowered as soon as possible. The body’s greatest protection.
3. Feeling good about yourself, no need to go to the hospital for examination
Some people with diabetes are reluctant Going to the hospital for a checkup, worrying about finding out that you are sick, it sucks!
In fact, no matter what kind of disease, the earlier it is detected, the more likely it is to be reversed, and the easier it is to control even if it cannot be reversed.
Diabetes can lead to hundreds of diabetic complications, and they are all good at camouflage and can’t be detected without early detection.
If you wait until feel obvious discomfort before going to the hospital for a checkup, it is often The disease has reached the mid-late stage, which is not only difficult to treat, but also increases medical costs.
Therefore, even if we feel that we are in good physical condition, we need to do a physical examination for diabetes complications once a year, and strive for early detection and early treatment, so that we can maintain long-term health body state.
