Diabetes patients often have such doubts:
Why do I control my diet and take medicine well, but my blood sugar is still not well controlled?
Why did I get sick so soon and have complications?
Blood sugar control is not good, complications come to you, in many cases, because you made a mistake!
Come and see, have you made these mistakes?
Smoking
After tobacco smoke enters the human body, it can not only damage the blood vessel wall, but also aggravate nerve damage. If a person has diabetes and does not quit smoking, the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction will increase.
At the same time, various complications of diabetes related to blood vessels and nerves will come to you earlier, such as diabetic foot and diabetic eye diseases. For men, it will also cause or aggravate impotence and aggravate those [unspeakable].
Therefore, sugar lovers who are still smoking, start quitting smoking as soon as possible.
Drinking
Don’t think [I’ll just drink a little, it doesn’t matter]. Most of the time, this little bit will also bring big trouble.
As you can imagine, When people drink, Always unconsciously eat a lot of food and drink, This leads to an increase in energy intake. Alcohol also contains energy, and it is not difficult to understand that drinking alcohol can easily lead to excessive energy intake. Excessive energy is converted into fat and stored in the body, thus leading to obesity. Obesity will increase insulin resistance, heavier the burden on already exhausted islets of pancreas, and worsen the disease.
What is more serious is that drinking alcohol, especially on an empty stomach, can also induce hypoglycemia. If you are taking sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs (the common drug name is Glex XX), drinking alcohol is more likely to induce hypoglycemia and should be banned.
What if something happens and you really need a drink?
Two words, limited.
For female patients, the daily alcohol consumption should not exceed 15 g and for male patients should not exceed 25 g (15 g alcohol is equivalent to 450 ml beer, 150 ml wine or 50 ml low alcohol liquor). Drink no more than 2 times a week.
You can recall that once we start drinking, it is very difficult to stop the car and it is easy to exceed this limit.
Therefore, in order to stabilize your blood sugar, it is better not to drink alcohol.
Stay up late
Do you always think about your mobile phone before going to bed?
If you don’t care about current events and news before going to bed, what will your friends feel less?
Or are you always thinking of working harder to finish your work today, and if you are not careful, you will exceed the time to sleep?
In fact, staying up late will make blood sugar more difficult to control, and unstable blood sugar is very harmful to the body.
Therefore, we must not stay up late to work, and we must not always look at our cell phones before going to bed. We must rest early and have a good sleep to stabilize our blood sugar.
Anxiety
I believe many sugar friends, especially young sugar friends, have such experiences. After finding out that they have diabetes, they feel very anxious. They don’t know what to do all day long and even feel hopeless in life.
In fact, diabetes is not as terrible as imagined. As long as we cooperate with treatment, shut up, take your legs, use good medicine, do a good job in blood sugar monitoring, and correct bad living habits, we can completely control blood sugar and coexist peacefully with diabetes.
In fact, these mistakes can be completely avoided.
I hope sugar friends can stop smoking and limit alcohol, work and rest regularly and have a peaceful mind for their own health, so as to control blood sugar and prevent complications.
