How to prevent blood sugar from rising 2 hours after meals?

Getting diabetes, with the current medical level, is likely to mean lifelong, which is a more painful thing for diabetics. But as long as the blood sugar, blood pressure, blood lipid and other indicators are well controlled, the condition can still be controlled. The most important thing is to control blood sugar, including fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar.

How to prevent blood sugar from rising two hours after a meal? 1, lifestyle intervention

Diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, which accounts for the vast majority of the population, can be said to be the result of the joint action of genetic factors and environmental factors, and lifestyle intervention is a crucial point to control blood sugar.

Strict diet control: The most common cause of postprandial hyperglycemia is eating too much or eating the wrong food.

When eating every meal, we must strictly follow the diabetes diet, control the total daily calories, pay attention to the balanced nutrition, control the staple food within 6 Liang, and mix coarse grains with flour and rice. Supplement high-quality protein, such as fish, milk and soybean milk, and eat more fresh vegetables rich in dietary fiber.

Diet is light, try to eat less foods with high glycemic index and high sugar content, such as sweets, animal oil, animal offal, fish eggs, animal brains, starchy foods, etc. And try to eat less fruit. Cucumber or tomato can be used instead of fruit.

Exercise every day:

A high carbohydrate diet can lead to a significant increase in postprandial blood sugar, while postprandial exercise can reduce postprandial blood sugar. The extent of decline is closely related to the duration and frequency of exercise.

Within 30 minutes to 2 hours after meals, appropriately increase some moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, including jogging, swimming, mountain climbing, rope skipping, rock climbing and Tai Chi. It is best to take more than 30 minutes at a time, which can obviously improve postprandial blood sugar.

In addition, we should also pay attention to ensuring adequate sleep time and positive emotions. If the postprandial blood sugar is still not up to standard through diet and exercise control, it is recommended that diabetic friends add some drugs specially to improve postprandial blood sugar.

2. Application of hypoglycemic drugs

Hypoglycemic drugs can reduce postprandial blood glucose and fasting blood glucose to varying degrees, but oral hypoglycemic drugs mainly include α -glucosidase inhibitors, short-acting sulfonylurea secretagogues, glinide secretagogues and dipeptidyl peptidase -4(DPP-4) inhibitors.

If oral hypoglycemic agents still cannot control postprandial blood sugar, insulin can be used for treatment.

Injection preparations mainly used to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia include short-acting insulin and its analogues, and short-acting glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP- 1) receptor agonists.

Finally, we should remind diabetic friends that the use of hypoglycemic drugs should be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
