Friends of blood sugar monitoring

Currently, diabetes or a life-long irreversible disease, which in itself fatal to the human body and there is no effect, but caused by the complications of diabetes might lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, blindness, amputation and even paralyzed serious consequences.

Survey, the number of people with diabetes in China continued to rise. Diabetes experts urge, only to people with diabetes to realize that the importance of monitoring blood glucose, blood sugar changes in accordance with reasonable and learn to diet, exercise, medication, diabetes is a big country to curb our top priority.

Beijing Diabetes Prevention Office Professor Yuan Shenyuan introduction, the proportion of type Ⅱ diabetes in China is much larger than Western countries, and younger age of onset tended to, from a clinical point of view, more than 30 years of age or teenage patients are not uncommon, with an estimated 30 % of Ⅱ type diabetes before the age of 40 get sick, so now have to type Ⅱ diabetes prevention start from the students. With genetic factors, changes in eating habits, obesity, physical activity and anxiety are too small causes diabetes.

Europe and the United States of 35-year-old began to measure blood sugar

Currently, diabetes or a life-long irreversible disease, which in itself fatal to the human body and there is no effect, but caused by the complications of diabetes might lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, blindness, amputation and even paralyzed serious consequences. According to the survey, diabetic retinopathy patients, uremia, and the risk of amputation is 25 times of ordinary people, 17 times and 7 times. Typical symptoms of diabetes is more than three a few, that is, polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss, but more often these symptoms of diabetes in the late fall. Europe and the United States and other countries are usually more than 35 years of age who are beginning to test blood sugar. Experts believe that in our age of over 45 years of age, family history of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, overweight, obese, have a great history of child birth among women, early detection of blood glucose should be. High-risk groups not only to measure fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose test also, because the abnormal postprandial glucose tolerance metabolic abnormalities were mostly people who, although not a diabetic, it is the reserve army of people with diabetes, of which 30% of to diabetes. Early detection, early prevention can save substantial costs of treatment, patients can also be much suffering.

When people feel good blood sugar diabetes are often substantially exceeded

Diabetes who have a very confusing situation, that is, patients often feel very good when the actual content of the body's blood sugar has already reached 500, exceeding lot. The reason may be because the body just at the elevated blood sugar occurs when the number of transient phenomena such as blurred vision, but did not make the patient seriously, his body slowly get used to the status of high blood sugar, naturally not any adverse reactions. No adverse reaction is not to say his blood sugar down, but the patient's body adapted, but with the blood glucose is maintained at a high level of disease in other organs will gradually appear, what we call complications. Therefore, patients need to use blood glucose meter at any time, rather than perception to control their blood sugar. But the present situation in China is whether ordinary people or the patients do not attach importance to blood glucose monitoring, only 8% of conscious patients to hospitals with symptoms of diabetes Endocrinology, blood glucose, and 20% of patients are looking eye (diabetic complications), the found that 10% of the people is a long boil of skin swelling, after inspection is suffering from diabetes. According to statistics, half of diabetic patients to the hospital in the first when the disease has been associated with macrovascular disease of the body.

About how blood glucose testing

International Diabetes Federation to psychology, diet, exercise, medication and monitoring of diabetes treatment as the five elements, and only really understand diabetes, and it really reasonable meal, really to workout, the real and true real-time monitoring of medication on time, could you live and a normal life, reduce complications, in which five of the most basic is the "true real-time monitoring", which is not only aware of their blood sugar in diabetic patients, the "eyes" and is a measure of glucose control other means of diet, exercise and medication is correct and right amount of foundation. According to a long-term diabetes research shows that if control of blood glucose near normal levels consistently, can reduce the incidence of complications of diabetes almost 60%.

Although the control of diabetes and need "immediate monitoring of blood glucose," well known, however, really need real-time monitoring, often ignore the issue, which the doctor for the patient to develop a scientific, individual blood glucose control provide an obstacle. In the past, patients must go to the hospital for blood to test blood sugar, is not convenient, long, complicated, expensive, and a doctor can not keep informed about the patient's blood sugar condition, the patient can not formulate a special diet, exercise and drug treatment programs . So doctors recommend patients to learn to use their own real-time monitoring of blood glucose meters. Diabetes in the day when usually the best time to be testing blood sugar, or if the play is in the dosing of insulin and other circumstances, it is best measured 4 times a day. U.S. average daily blood sugar testing diabetes is 1.4 times the number of times, but most of our patients can not do, and some even twice a month to ensure not measured, but experts believe that testing twice a month with no difference contingency have failed to exercise any monitoring role.
