Pre-diabetes refers to the situation that the blood sugar index is in the blood sugar level or high, but it has not yet reached the standard of diabetes. However, it means that the body’s demand for insulin has begun to be more than normal, which is before suffering from type 2 diabetes. Siren.
Don’t be discouraged, start with diet and exercise, there is still a chance of reversal at this stage, and whether you can grasp it is a matter of human effort.
Doctor: Fatty liver can easily evolve into diabetes
Pre-diabetes means that the disease has gradually subsided. It turns out that there are no symptoms in both pre-diabetes and early-stage diabetes. The symptoms will only appear when the blood sugar is too high. Chen Nuo, a specialist in endocrinology and diabetes, discussed his definition, which means that the normal fasting blood glucose in the blood test should be lower than 5.6mmol/L. in the range of 5.6 mmol/L to 7.0 mmol/L. Dr. Chen said that there is another diagnostic method, which is to perform a glucose tolerance test. Some people have latent pre-glucosuria. When the fasting blood glucose is tested, the result can be lower than 5.6mmol/L. After drinking 75 grams of glucose water, the second Blood is drawn following an hour, and it is in the range of 7.8 mmol/L to 11 mmol/L, which belongs to pre-glucosuria.
There are also cases where the numbers show normal following the person receives the fasting blood sugar and glucose water test. There is a third method to further understand the situation, which is to draw blood sugar and insulin at the same time when fasting. “Even if the blood sugar is normal, such as a spike in insulin, it belongs to the early stage of diabetes.” Diabetes has appeared and persisted for a period of time, and it is difficult to recover. Prediabetes can be reversed, so early detection is important.
Eating carefully and exercising may reverse prediabetes
Patients with fatty liver should check their blood sugar every six months, and ordinary people without fatty liver should also check once a year. Moreover, type 2 diabetes is becoming more and more younger, and there are patients as young as 19 years old. It is closely related to fast food culture, less exercise, long-term sedentary gaming, and playing with mobile phones. Dr. Chen pointed out that patients with the “three highs” of blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol also have an increased chance of developing diabetes. There are also expectant mothers who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy, and gestational diabetes will disappear following delivery, but the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future is greatly increased.
To reverse pre-diabetic diabetes, it is helpful to pay attention to diet and exercise regularly. Dr. Chen pointed out that if you are older, it is difficult to start with exercise, or you may need to rely on drugs to improve. The epigenetic family has a good chance of reversing the pre-diabetes by eating carefully and exercising more. He reminded the public to monitor their blood sugar status by “stretching their fingers” at home regularly. At present, some wear a small sensor on the back of the upper arm, and scan with the detector to display the glucose level in the body, and connect and store it in the mobile phone to help Patients understand which foods can raise their blood sugar, and should avoid or reduce food intake on weekdays.
To prevent diabetes, Dr. Chen said, you should monitor your body weight on weekdays, eat less sweets, fried, and starchy foods, and preferably do 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (such as jogging, fast walking) every day. Reduce the occurrence of diabetes.
Nutritionist: Reduce sugar and choose starch carefully
When learning that they have entered pre-diabetes, many people regard sugar and starch as “flood beasts”, registered dietitian Au Yashan pointed out that it is a misunderstanding, and the key is to choose wisely. The correct way is to take sugar and starch in stages, and re-examine whether you have added sugar and processed starch in your daily diet. She taught the way: “If you are accustomed to eating a cup of iced lemon tea, or you like to drink sweet bottled drinks, Then you need to lose it. The second step is to see which foods you eat for your main meal, such as white rice and white bread, and to eat more complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, red rice, quinoa rice, spaghetti, etc. instead of processing starch.”
