Lecture on diabetes health in traditional Chinese medicine

Lead: There is a record about diabetes in Compendium of Materia Medica, which is called "diabetes". Diabetes in modern medicine belongs to the category of diabetes in Chinese medicine. Quenching thirst means drinking more, eating more, urinating more, being tired and losing weight. Diabetes is a disease caused by yin deficiency, lung and kidney dryness and heat, abnormal water and grain transport, excessive thirst, excessive urination, turbid urine and sweet taste, and gradual weight loss. Therefore, for diabetes, we should pay special attention to prevent complications.

What signals does the body have when blood sugar rises?

1, blurred vision

Under normal circumstances, excessive use of eyes will lead to obvious blurred vision and decreased vision; But to rule out this problem may be because of high blood sugar, leading to retinopathy. A common phenomenon is impaired vision, and there may be obvious visual decline. If such a problem occurs, you should go to the hospital to check your blood sugar in time, and find it early and prevent it early.

2. There are many trips at night.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the number of trips at night will not exceed 2 times; Get up more than 2 times, you can rule out drinking too much water, which is probably caused by elevated blood sugar.

When blood sugar rises, it will naturally cause thirst, which will naturally increase the amount of drinking water. When the amount of drinking water increases, urine will often be discharged, so nocturia will increase. Once such a signal appears, it is necessary to consider whether the blood sugar has increased.

3. General weaknesses

After waking up, many people usually feel this way, which is normal; However, when fatigue and weakness appear for a long time during the day, it is likely to be caused by elevated blood sugar. Because after the blood sugar rises, the blood flow will slow down, especially the waist and legs are weak and the body is tired. It's time to check your blood sugar. Don't delay.

The above three symptoms are more common, and there are other symptoms. As long as any of the above symptoms appear in life, you should check your blood sugar in time to prevent it from rising and causing unnecessary trouble.

Numerical measurement to judge diabetes (fasting blood glucose);

As far as fasting blood glucose is concerned, the normal value should be below 6. 1mmol/L, and above 7.0mmol/L can be considered as diabetes. But the blood sugar level should not be too low. If it is lower than 3.9mmol/L, it may be hypoglycemia. If the fasting blood glucose level exceeds the standard, it is necessary to consider measuring the blood glucose level 2 hours after meals for further diagnosis. At this time, the normal person's blood sugar value should be below 7.7 mmol/L. If it is higher than11.1mmol/L, it is a manifestation of diabetes.

In fact, under normal circumstances, few people test blood sugar. Before there are any physical problems, usually many people mistakenly think that their bodies are healthy. However, more than 50% people are now in sub-health state. Among them, more than 80% people are in a state of hyperglycemia, which is closely related to the current pace of life and life pressure.

Many people know that the increase of blood sugar may be caused by genetic factors, unhealthy diet and unhealthy living habits, but they often ignore that the lack of nutrients is more harmful to the body, especially when the body is deficient in chromium, the glucose tolerance is abnormal, the insulin secretion is insufficient, and the natural blood sugar is increased.

In daily life, do two less things to lower blood sugar.

1, stay up late less

Staying up late is a way to make a person's immunity decline rapidly, and staying up late will also lead to large fluctuations in blood sugar, which will seriously affect our health.

2. Eat less spicy food

Eating spicy food not only affects our gastrointestinal tract, but also increases our drinking water. Once we eat too much spicy food, a lot of water may increase the burden on our kidneys.
