My husband a month ago unit physical examination, found that fasting blood sugar high, high to what extent? Fasting more than 13 points, immediately went to the hospital to check again, even higher, more than 15 points. The doctor recommended immediate hospitalization, insulin, first four shots, each meal before drinking before going to bed one shot. The doctor said, "I don't think I'm going to be able to get away with this, but I think I'm going to be able to get away with it," he said.
One of the ideological struggle
I also have a relative of diabetes, every meal before the first to the belly to play the needle, not to play the needle can not eat. People are as thin as skin and bones. Days like that are horrible to imagine. We were not hospitalized and decided to go home to discuss it.
Husband was just in his early forties. He is 175 tall and weighs 180, which is considered fat. This medical checkup, his liver function was not so good either, transaminases were all high. Also checked the liver function, fortunately not viral hepatitis, will give the prescription of a drug to eat first, the name is glycyrrhizin capsules. He also has herniated lumbar discs and osteophytes, so he usually does not exercise and lies down when he can. Usually do not pay attention to food, no taboo. But there are no bad habits, do not smoke, drinking is also very occasional. But love to stay up late, lying in bed to play with the phone, eleven o'clock before the basic did not sleep.
I've been in a trance all afternoon, so is this what it means to be old? Is it dying? The body just doesn't work anymore? The grave beckons? It was too sudden, and the great events of life often don't give you time to prepare. I frantically looked up all sorts of information, whether there were any other options besides insulin, what to regulate, precautions, and so on. The sad thing is that there are no examples of his high level in any of the cases I looked up. There are cases of reversal, but the highest is just over 8 points. He is really too high, maybe we should listen to the doctor, go to the hospital, insulin, blood sugar so high, their own blind, this is not a joke with life?
He didn't have any symptoms before, he just kept saying that he had back pain, sometimes he said that he had pain somewhere in his lower right abdomen, and sometimes he said that he had discomfort in his liver area, but he never thought of it as diabetes. He had a physical the year before, and there was nothing wrong with him then, except for a fatty liver. The information I found this time said that high blood sugar can cause darkness in the neck and armpits and slow wound healing, all of which he has, but we didn't understand it before.
Finally, I decided to adjust myself first, if there is no improvement, or a month, still can not be reduced to the normal range, then to the doctor. I bought a small blood glucose meter, every morning fasting test, bought some miscellaneous food, brown rice, black rice, beans, oats, oatmeal, corn dregs, similar to the corn kernel to make two halves of so big, porridge, online shopping imported skimmed milk, drinking assuredly is not expensive, but also online shopping for some dry horseradish.
Two, put into action
1, dietary regulation
Drinking every day mixed grain porridge, or cereal milk, porridge does not put rice millet, both of which are easy to rise sugar. The staple food is corn cakes, cakes with a little bit of vegetable leaves, and later also used buckwheat noodles instead of mixed with white flour, near a steamed bread room selling steamed bread mixed with wheat bran, sometimes the cake can not catch the ton also eat half of the whole wheat buns.
There are many kinds of vegetables, celery, cabbage, rape, fungus, mushrooms, lettuce, broccoli, etc. These leafy vegetables are the main bar, and even potatoes are basically not eaten. These are all boiled in water, with a little salt, soy sauce, vinegar, mixed with a little to eat. There is also a dish for every meal, which is onions in vinegar.
They have a limited number of cakes and congee, one for each bowl, and an unlimited number of dishes. Basically, it's just a big plate. The amaranth can also be soaked in water and boiled, mixed with a mix is not difficult to eat. During the period also gave him a dumpling, with buckwheat noodles as the skin, who know with the mud, no any ductility, a pull on the break, had to mix some white noodles. I bought a few white yam, also sliced and boiled. Bought purple potatoes, as a staple food, can not eat more, also bought a small pumpkin, also can not eat more. In short, the main food can not eat more, just eat a fist size piece of their own.
During the period also bought two handfuls of mustard seedlings, called what potherb mustard, this is more hard, but also a little bitter, put a little bit of oil fried, that time has not eaten a week of fried vegetables, the first mouth, eat out of my sunflower oil flavor! Every time I put salt, I am careful not to put more, and one day he saw me put salt, right hand holding a salt spoon, left hand gently patting the right arm, so that the salt a little upside down. He said, "You're patting the wrong place, you should be patting the back of your head. Said patted the back of my head a bit, qua, salt all sprinkled in ......
I also accompanied him to eat these, to not feel difficult to swallow. Eat also quite top hungry, after three or four hours will not feel hungry at all, in short, acceptable. Every day either eat an egg, or drink milk, or eat three slices of beef in sauce, sometimes steamed a dragon fish fillet, although which kind of fish people have controversy, but it is simple and easy to do, working people every day to cook their own, time is very limited. A meal can not go out to eat, there is no such a light restaurant. Eating out anything is not up to scratch. There are really very few things that can be eaten for diabetics. Want to prepare some snacks, go to the supermarket to buy the claimed sugar-free coarse grain cookies, came back to eat and found that too oily. I want to buy some snacks from the Internet for diabetics, but I'm also afraid that they don't meet the requirements, and I can't eat them again when I buy them back.
2, ensure sleep
Another is sleep, I forced to take away his cell phone every day, to ensure that he basically 10.30 on the bed. This is something I think is important. One manifestation of this is that if he sleeps late on the first night, his blood sugar will rise the next day. Staying up late hurts the liver, and when the liver is bad, it affects the pancreas and kidneys. The good thing is that the liver is a very self-repairing organ, and as long as you start treating it well now, it will slowly regain its health and continue to serve you well. This includes fatty liver, which must also be taken seriously by adjusting your diet. The liver tolerates insults and is particularly tolerant, and once a lesion is manifested, it is often a long time after the fact.
3, exercise regulation
Diabetics conditioning means, about exercise, and diet is actually equally important. He has a bad back, in fact, exercise is difficult to arrange, in addition to the time to go to work. My home is about 1.5 kilometers from my office. So he sometimes walks back from work, at least once a day, and the rest of the exercise is almost impossible to arrange.
In the beginning, he would walk for half an hour. You can see how poor the physical fitness is. After a week it's a faster walk, ten minutes or so. Let's report on the results so far. Yesterday his blood sugar dropped to 6.1, today it's still 6.1, not sure about tomorrow. It took 18 days to go from 15+ to 6.1. All of these methods are not that hard to follow either. During this period his stomach is smaller, he is obviously more energetic, and his weight has dropped by 5 or 6 pounds, I think. Weight drop to get not much, in fact, I am afraid of him quickly off the scale, but the appearance is clearly seen to become thin, and even the black on the neck are faded, I do not know if it is not the winter covered, he was particularly often bad breath, during the conditioning period is also completely no longer, the previous stools are also sticky every day toilet, and now there is no more. I don't know if it's the winter that's making me sick, but I'm not sure if it's the winter that's making me sick," he said.
My feeling is that our body is really very loyal to us, even though you have trampled on it before, not to cherish it, as long as you realize, really go to do what is good for it, such as controlling the diet, don't stay up all night, moderate exercise, quit smoking, quit drinking, these routine maintenance can let it be visible to the eye to see the change for the better. Are these hard to do? It's just that you don't want to do them. Maybe you must wait until life draws a red line for you and tells you that if you cross it again, you will be penalized, you will really pay attention to it and be willing to do it. A note to all of you. A heartfelt prayer that each of us is healthy and well and that our health is priceless.
