Excessive consumption of greasy, high-sugar, high-calorie foods may cause abnormal glucose metabolism in the body and increase blood sugar. The unbalanced and irregular diet of three meals a day leads to the fluctuation of blood sugar all the time, and it is easy to have glucose metabolism disorders, thereby promoting insulin resistance.

Recently, the reporter of China Women's Daily learned from the Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University that in recent years, the diabetic patients admitted to the hospital have shown a significant trend of younger age.
Poor lifestyle Xi exacerbate diabetes at a younger age
Thank you, the child is much better. In the endocrinology department of the Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University, Ms. Zhang and her 2-year-old son Haohao expressed their gratitude to the medical staff who received the treatment.
Back to 1 year ago, Haohao, who was only 1 year old at the time, was sent to the pediatric emergency department of Southwest Hospital by his parents because of frequent thirst, obvious weight loss, and sudden vomiting. "Through the medical history, we learned that Hao Hao has always disliked drinking milk, and usually uses yogurt instead. Kuang Jianren, associate professor of the Department of Endocrinology of the Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University, recalled that the child had symptoms such as polydipsia and polyuria and listlessness a few days before he was admitted to the hospital. He was diagnosed with childhood diabetes. After receiving a series of ** such as normal saline expansion and insulin pump blood sugar reduction, Haohao's blood sugar gradually returned to normal.
In fact, there are many diabetic patients like Hao Hao in the endocrinology department. Director Long Min told reporters that in recent years, the diabetic patients admitted to the endocrinology department have shown a significant trend of younger age, in addition to childhood diabetes such as Haohao, there are many young people who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at a young age. Clinical data show that diabetic patients at the age of 18 to 35 already account for 40 of diabetic patients.
Why does diabetes find young people? Professor Wei Ping of the Department of Endocrinology said: "The younger generation of diabetes is mainly related to people's lifestyle Xi habits and genetics. Professor Wei Ping believes that young people who eat too much greasy, high-sugar, high-calorie food may cause abnormal glucose metabolism in the body and increase blood sugar. The unbalanced and irregular diet of three meals a day leads to the fluctuation of blood sugar all the time, and it is easy to have glucose metabolism disorders, thereby promoting insulin resistance.
At the same time, long-term lack of physical activity can lead to a decrease in the body's metabolic function, causing insulin resistance and an increase in blood sugar. Studies have shown that for every 1 kilogram of body weight gained from the standard body weight, the risk of diabetes increases by at least 5%. In addition, mental stress and work stress are also one of the causes of diabetes. Professor Wei Ping believes that long-term stress will lead to endocrine disorders in the body and promote the occurrence of diabetes. Lack of sleep will reduce the amount of insulin secreted by the body, which can lead to diabetes in the long run.
Smoking is also easy to cause vasospasm, increase blood viscosity, cause tissue ischemia, hypoxia, aggravate the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, and at the same time, smoking reduces disease resistance and pancreatic islet sensitivity. Regular alcohol consumption has a very large impact on blood sugar, especially on an empty stomach, which is prone to hypoglycemia. Professor Wei Ping said.
Preserved meat and raisins are high in sugar, and sugar control cannot ignore these "** sugars".
As diabetes progresses younger, more and more young people are paying attention to reducing their sugar intake. In this regard, Director Long Min said that in order to truly control sugar, in addition to controlling conventional sugar, it is also necessary to be vigilant against the intake of "** sugar".
In fact, the understanding of sugars is still relatively one-sided, in addition to the known sugar foods, many foods have a lot of sugar. Kuang Jianren reminded that foods such as pork jerky, raisins and other foods are rich in sugar, if a piece of sugar cube is 4g, about 5 pieces of pork jerky can reach the sugar content of 8 sugar cubes; A small handful of raisins has a sugar content of up to 7 to 9 sugar cubes.
In addition to these snacks, many so-called 0 calorie and 0 sugar drinks should also be drunk sparingly. Some products say 'no added sucrose' on the packaging, but if you look closely at the ingredient list, you will find that although no sucrose is added, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, etc. may be added, and these substances will also produce glucose after hydrolysis, so there will be no calories at all. Kuang Jianren said that although many freshly squeezed juices seem nutritious, they are also rich in sugar, and excessive intake will also cause excessive sugar content.
In addition to being vigilant against "** sugar", endocrinology experts also reminded that for the prevention and treatment of diabetes, everyone should pay attention to some common misunderstandings. For example, many people think that they can eat and drink as much as they like after taking blood sugar-lowering drugs, which is a very wrong perception. Be sure to have a balanced mix, exercise more, reduce the intake of high-sugar and high-calorie foods, and control your weight. In addition, patients should standardize the use of hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of professional physicians, and do not blindly reduce or stop drugs by themselves, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.
