Li Na was woken up by her mother-in-law's nagging. The mother-in-law blamed her for lazily preparing to go out to buy groceries without breakfast. Li Na, a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, didn't want to argue with her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly got dressed and walked out of the house without looking back.
Mother-in-law has always had some prejudices against Li Na, and this morning's incident has deepened her dissatisfaction. She decided to follow Li Na and see where she went. However, what she didn't expect was that Li Na fainted on the road due to low blood sugar and unfortunately fell on a passing man. The mother-in-law saw this scene from afar, mistakenly thought that something bad had happened, and was very angry, and decided to go home and ask her son to divorce Li Na.
Sugar control method 1: dietary adjustment
1.Choose foods with a low glycemic index (GI).
The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how much food causes blood sugar to rise. Low GI foods help maintain blood sugar stability by releasing sugar slowly during digestion.
Whole grains: Such as brown rice, oats, and whole-wheat bread, these foods typically have a lower GI.
Vegetables: Most non-starchy vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli, cauliflower) have a low GI.
Fruits: Choose fruits with a low GI, such as apples, pears, and oranges.
Legumes: All types of legumes, such as lentils, black beans, and chickpeas, have low GI values.
2.Manage carbohydrates in your diet
Carbohydrates directly affect blood sugar levels. Controlling your intake and type is essential for sugar control.
Balanced Plate: Fill half of the plate with vegetables, a quarter with protein, and the other quarter with whole grains or low-GI carbs.
Quantify intake: Use a food journal or app to track your carbohydrate intake.
Balanced distribution: Distribute carbohydrate intake evenly throughout the day to avoid blood sugar spikes.
3.Diabetes-friendly diet advice and recipes
Proper eating Xi is essential for people with diabetes. Here are some diabetes-friendly diet suggestions:
High-fiber foods: Foods rich in dietary fiber can help control blood sugar. This includes whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes.
Limit processed foods and sugar: Reduce your intake of processed foods and foods high in sugar.
Healthy fats: Consuming healthy fats, such as olive oil, nuts, and fish oil, can help improve cardiovascular health.
Drink plenty of fluids: Stay hydrated and avoid sugary drinks.
Sugar control method 2: physical exercise
1.Different types of physical activity and their effects on blood sugar
Aerobic exercise: such as brisk walking, running, swimming, or cycling. These exercises can boost heart and lung fitness and help lower blood sugar levels. Aerobic exercise can lower blood sugar by encouraging muscles to use sugar more efficiently.
Strength training: By using dumbbells, fitness equipment, or using your own body weight for training, such as push-ups and sit-ups, strength training can help strengthen muscle tissue and increase metabolism levels, which can effectively assist in long-term blood sugar management.
Stretching exercises: such as yoga and Pilates. Although the direct impact on blood sugar is small, stretching can help improve flexibility, reduce stress, and indirectly help with blood sugar control.
2.Set up an exercise plan that's right for people with diabetes
Personalized plan: An exercise program should be customized based on an individual's health status, health goals, and preferences.
Increase the intensity gradually: It is recommended that those who are new to exercise start with light exercises and gradually increase the intensity and duration of the exercise.
Regularity: It is recommended that you schedule at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week and at least two days of muscle strength training to maintain good physical fitness.
3.Recommendations and precautions for safe exercise
Monitor your blood sugar: Monitor your blood sugar levels before and after your workout to make sure it's safe.
Fuel properly: Adjust your diet based on your blood sugar levels and the intensity of your workout. If your blood sugar is low before a workout, you may need to consume some carbohydrates.
Stay hydrated: Hydrate well during your workout.
Dress appropriately: Wear suitable clothing and shoes for exercise, especially for diabetics with foot problems.
Doctor's Consultation: Consult with a doctor before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have complications or other health problems.
Sugar control method 3: drugs**
1.Types and mechanisms of action of commonly used hypoglycemic drugs
Sulfonylureas: such as glibenclamide and glipizide. These drugs lower blood sugar by stimulating islet cells to release more insulin.
Insulin sensitizers: such as metformin and rosiglitazone. These drugs lower blood sugar by increasing the sensitivity of muscles and other tissues to insulin.
Glucosidase inhibitors: such as acarbose. They reduce the rise in blood sugar after a meal by slowing the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines.
Insulin: Used in patients with poor glycemic control, especially type 1 diabetes Insulin injections can directly deliver insulin synthesized outside the body to lower blood sugar levels.
2.Combination of medications** and lifestyle changes
Comprehensive management: Even when taking hypoglycemic medications, a healthy diet and regular physical activity are still important parts of blood sugar control.
Monitor blood glucose: Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to adjust your medication dosage and diet plan.
Doctor's Consultation: Consult your doctor regularly to adjust your regimen** based on your glycemic control.
3.Precautions and potential for drug use***
Proper use: Follow your doctor's instructions for using medications, including the dose, when, and how to take them.
For example, sulfonylureas may trigger hypoglycemia, while metformin may cause digestive discomfort.
Avoid hypoglycemia: Especially when using drugs that promote insulin secretion, monitor blood sugar and avoid excessive lowering.
Regular check-ups: Regular blood glucose, blood lipids, kidney function, etc., are done regularly to monitor the long-term effects and *** of the medication
Diabetes management is an ongoing process that requires the combined efforts of the patient, the medical team, and family members. Always remember that everyone's situation is unique, so the best diabetes management plan should also be individualized.
