Alert: Discover the Hidden Habits Triggering High Blood Sugar!

Not only hypoglycemia, but hyperglycemia is also the “old friend” of people with diabetes! Presumably, people with diabetes don’t have as deep an understanding of hyperglycemia as hypoglycemia. In fact, hyperglycemia is also a potential crisis, and some bad habits in daily life can also cause hyperglycemia!

Hyperglycemia is a typical feature of diabetes, and its harm cannot be underestimated. High blood sugar will corrode the blood vessels and tissues of our body, and long-term high blood sugar may cause damage or even failure of organs such as the heart, brain, eyes, kidneys, and feet.

Presumably after reading this paragraph, some people with diabetes can't help but become nervous, and may even have questions, "How high is the blood sugar level to be considered as hyperglycemia? How can I judge it to prevent harm to the greatest extent?"

For most patients, when the fasting blood sugar value is >7.0mmol/L and the non-fasting blood sugar value is >10.0mmol/L[2], it means that you may have symptoms of hyperglycemia! At this time, it is best to seek medical advice promptly and control your sugar according to the doctor’s instructions.

――How many of the six bad habits that cause high blood sugar do you have? ?

High blood sugar does not appear suddenly, it is closely related to your life. Maybe one of your unintentional bad habits can become the culprit of high blood sugar. Now follow Ronaldinho into a small class on high blood sugar, learn some basic knowledge, and take a look at the following bad habits. How many of them do you have?

sleep disorder

Dear sugar lovers, if you have symptoms such as tossing and turning, being unable to fall asleep, and waking up before dawn, it means that you may have a sleep disorder! It is closely related to diabetes, mainly related to increased insulin resistance. Diabetes patients with sleep disorders are very likely to cause blood sugar fluctuations and trigger hyperglycemia.

Stress from work

Attention office workers and sugar lovers! ! Excessive work pressure will not only lead to problems in life (smoking, drinking, unhealthy diet), but also increase the stress hormone cortisol, making the body unable to regulate blood sugar normally.

Too much energy intake

If people with diabetes are exposed to high-energy diets, excessive energy intake will lead to obesity and even insulin resistance, which will increase blood sugar and cause hyperglycemia.

"Lazy cancer" upper body, moving too little

Don't like sports? When you go out, you can take a car but never walk? Although modern life is so convenient, sugar lovers cannot be so lazy! If you have diabetes, if you move too little, it will be difficult to control your sugar, and your blood sugar will become unstable!

Afraid of the dark? Can't sleep without turning on the light?

Never thought that sleeping with the lights on would affect blood sugar? First, let’s do some popular science about melatonin. It is a hormone that can improve type 2 diabetes and complications through different mechanisms of action, which is helpful for diabetics to control their sugar. Sleeping with lights on at night will affect the body's normal secretion of melatonin, which is not only detrimental to blood sugar control but also disrupts the body's natural mechanism for sensing circadian rhythm.

The world is so beautiful, but you are so angry

When people with diabetes are in a state of stress such as anger or anxiety, the sympathetic nerves will be excited, and symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and body fever will occur. This will directly inhibit insulin secretion, and will also increase adrenaline secretion, indirectly affecting insulin secretion. Causes blood sugar and blood pressure to rise.

How many of the above bad habits do you have? If so, then as long as you change it consciously, it’s not too late! The small class on high blood sugar is coming to an end, hurry up and let’s get into the study of advanced knowledge!

――How to change those bad habits?

Obese people with diabetes are best to lose a moderate amount of weight. After weight loss, blood sugar will be greatly improved; and in daily life, they must strictly control their diet and avoid high-energy foods!

Don't be too lazy. Moderate exercise has many benefits. It is best to exercise for 30 minutes a day according to your own situation, 5 times a week.

Sugar friends, don’t be impatient when things happen. Always laugh and keep an open mind on everything. Maintaining a good attitude is the most important thing.
