For diabetic friends, standardized blood sugar monitoring is very important to control blood sugar, through blood sugar monitoring, we can guide our diet, exercise, and adjust the dosage of drugs, so blood sugar monitoring plays a very important role in adjusting blood sugar.
Friends often ask, is blood sugar a measure of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood sugar, or glycosylated hemoglobin, which of these three is more important?
For most diabetic friends, fasting blood glucose, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin will be monitored more often to reflect the control of blood sugar from different aspects.
What's the point of each?
Fasting blood glucose refers to 8 to 10 hours after eating, no longer caloric intake, and then the measured blood sugar value, generally measured in the state of fasting at 7-9 o'clock in the morning, for most friends, fasting blood sugar is a mandatory item. Fasting blood glucose reflects the blood sugar level in the basic state, without dietary load, which is also one of the important bases for us to diagnose diabetes, and can also reflect the patient's basal insulin level and understand the basic function of pancreatic islets. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention not to exercise vigorously before measuring fasting blood glucose, in addition, the fasting time should not be too long, and not too short, the reference value of fasting blood sugar is 39~6.1mmol/l。
2-hour postprandial blood glucose refers to the blood glucose value measured from the first bite of food and two hours later, and postprandial blood sugar is affected by various factors such as the type of food, gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the amount of exercise after meals. Postprandial blood glucose generally reflects the cellular reserve function of insulin, and can also reflect whether eating and the use of hypoglycemic drugs are appropriate, which has a guiding role in adjusting the dose of drugs, and the reference value is 44~7.8mmol/l。
Glycosylated hemoglobin reflects the average level of blood glucose control in the past 2 to 3 months, and generally the level of blood sugar at a time has little effect on glycosylated hemoglobin. Generally, glycosylated hemoglobin is monitored to understand the level of glycemic control in the past period, and in addition, it can play a reference role in evaluating the occurrence of complications, and the general reference value is 65% or less.
Therefore, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin have different meanings and are equally important in blood glucose monitoring.
It is necessary to pay attention to the monitoring of fasting blood glucose, the monitoring of postprandial blood glucose, and the regular monitoring of glycosylated hemoglobin.
Who needs to focus on monitoring their blood sugar?
Friends with any of the following risk factors need to have their blood sugar checked regularly, such as, 1) being overweight (BMI BMI 24), or obese (BMI BMI 28), or central obesity (waist circumference 90 cm for men and 85 cm for women).
2) People with a family history of diabetes.
3) People with other metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperuricemia, hyperthyroidism, etc.
4) People whose lifestyle is mainly meditation.
5) People with abnormal blood pressure and blood lipids, who are taking medication.
6) People with atherosclerotic heart disease.
7) People who take antipsychotic drugs or antidepressants for a long time.
