10 small habits that determine blood sugar

Diabetes is a lifelong, preventable and treatable chronic disease that can affect all organs and tissues in the body. Paying attention to the following points will help control diabetes and prevent its complications.

1. Develop good living habits

Live a regular life, eat in moderation, and balance work and rest.

2. Quit smoking

Compared with non-smoking diabetic patients, smoking diabetic patients have a greatly increased risk of developing large vessel diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, lower limb arteritis and foot necrosis.

3. Stop drinking

Alcohol can aggravate diabetes or cause hypoglycemia and mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia, and increase blood triglyceride and lactic acid levels.

4. Control fat intake

Diabetic patients often have hyperlipidemia, which promotes the occurrence and development of macrovascular complications.

5. Exercise

Take at least 30 minutes walk each morning, afternoon and evening. Other fitness activities may also be carried out depending on conditions.

6. Learn to relax

Don't be anxious or angry when encountering things, keep your emotions stable. Extreme joy or anger can increase blood sugar.

7. Regular review

Follow-up visit at least once a month. Measure urine sugar regularly, and it is better to measure blood sugar yourself if possible. In special circumstances, such as fever, diarrhea or general discomfort, seek medical attention promptly. Measure your blood pressure regularly and keep it within normal range. Hypertension can accelerate the occurrence and development of diabetic complications.

8. Have a comprehensive inspection at least once a year

It includes visual acuity test, fundus examination, 24-hour urine albumin test and neurological examination.

9. Adhere to the scientific treatment method that suits you

Don't listen to rumors and don't follow the crowd.

10. In addition, it is best to keep in touch with your doctor.

Keep various records, including diet and medication, blood sugar, urine sugar and other related tests.
