Type 2 diabetes is a condition caused by insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. Disease progression is usually irreversible and requires lifelong medication. Simply put, type 2 diabetes is caused by your body's insensitivity to its own insulin secretion, which weakens its hypoglycemic effectOr you may have a decrease in your own insulin production, causing your blood sugar to rise.
Type 2 diabetes is also more common in ** and the elderly, and this group of people is the main force of type 2 diabetes patients, and type 2 diabetes patients account for about 90% of the total diabetes patients. The normal blood sugar range is (fasting blood glucose less than 6.)1. Blood sugar less than 7 2 hours after meals8) The criteria for diagnosing diabetes mellitus are (fasting blood glucose greater than 7.).0, blood glucose greater than 11 2 hours after meals1）。
When you find yourself in the fasting blood sugar range of 61 Fasting blood glucose (FBG) < 70, then you have impaired fasting blood sugar, or when you find that your two-hour postprandial blood sugar range (2hpbg) is greater than 78 and less than 111, then it proves that your glucose tolerance has decreased. If you find that your blood sugar levels are in one of these conditions, you are likely to be in the early stages of diabetes, which can come to you if left unchecked.
So what should I do if I find that fasting blood glucose is impaired or glucose tolerance is impaired?
First of all, in terms of diet, strictly control the daily food intake, rice, flour is called staple food, staple food should account for about 60% of food, fat should be less than 25%, milk, beans and other proteins account for about 15%. In addition, if fasting blood glucose is impaired or glucose tolerance is impaired, the intake of staple foods can be appropriately reduced. Eat a variety of foods, eat more vegetables and less fatty meats. Remember to eat small, frequent meals and not overeat.
The second is to control weight, especially for people with abdominal obesity. There are three indicators that can be judged, the first is the normal ideal weight (kg) = height (cm) - 105;The second is body mass index BMI = weight (kg) height (m) 2, and the normal range is 185 to 239；The third is waist circumference, ** male waist circumference should be less than 85, while female waist circumference should be less than 80;If you find yourself outside the scope of any of the above, you should consider**.
The third is exercise, which can enhance physical fitness, enhance cardiopulmonary function, promote the body's own blood sugar consumption and energy supply, and indirectly reduce the body's blood sugar level. In addition, exercise can also reduce blood lipid levels and improve nerve function and mental state. It is recommended to do aerobic exercise, exercise for 30-60 minutes a day, and the exercise time should start one hour after meals.
Finally, if blood glucose does not drop and rises significantly after 3 months of interventions such as diet, exercise, and weight control, it is necessary to add hypoglycemic drugs**, and biguanides are initially recommended, at which point it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
