The answer is no.
Diabetics are prone to symptoms of hypoglycemia when they are hungry, and hypoglycemia is a fasting blood sugar of less than 50 mg (28 mmol). Patients may experience palpitation, hand tremors, sweating, dizziness, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, and convulsions.
After the onset of these symptoms, the patient should eat some sugary foods or drink a glass of strong sugar water in time. If these symptoms are not taken seriously, the course of the disease will be prolonged, the condition will worsen, and coma and even death will occur.
People with diabetes are more likely to develop hypoglycemia than normal people, especially those who are injected with insulin. Some patients with hyperglycemia do not have a blood glucose level of 50 milligrams deciliter (2.)8 mmol) or less.
Why are diabetics more likely to have hypoglycemia than normal people?
In adult patients with type 2 diabetes, the body's insulin secretion ability is still very strong, but the response to secretion regulation is sluggish, and the peak secretion is lagging behind. The secretion of insulin is less than that of normal people within 1 or 2 hours after meals, but as blood sugar rises, the secretion of insulin stimulates to increase, and can even exceed the peak level of normal people, and most of the glucose absorbed by the body from the intestine has been consumed 3 to 4 hours after meals, at this time there is relatively too much insulin, which will cause hypoglycemic reaction.
Patients with type 1 diabetes can also have hypoglycemic reactions if they have the following conditions:
1. Urine glucose is negative for several consecutive days, and the insulin dose is not reduced in time;
2. Failure to eat on time due to irregular lifestyle;
3. When encountering something particularly exciting, emotional excitement leads to accelerated metabolism;
4. Loss of appetite for some reason, eating less without reducing insulin dosage;
5. The amount of activity is significantly increased, and the amount of insulin is not increased in time;
An effective way to prevent hypoglycemia is to eat a regular, regular and quantitative diet, and to flexibly add meals or reduce insulin dosage when physical exertion or exercise increases.
It is necessary to monitor changes in urine glucose, check blood glucose in time when it is negative in a row, or add a meal when the insulin effect is at its strongest.
Patients with negative fasting urine glucose in the early morning are prone to hypoglycemic reactions in the middle of the night or early morning, and can eat less staple foods, eggs, dried tofu or vegetables before going to bed.
If you are active in the afternoon, reduce the amount of regular insulin in the pre-dinner insulin mixture to avoid hypoglycemia before dinner.
All diabetics should carry some biscuits, steamed buns, fruits, sugar, etc., with them so that they can correct the hypoglycemic reaction at any time. At the same time, it is important to share the knowledge about hypoglycemia with family members and those around you so that you can get help from others if necessary.
