Diabetes is a disease that we can turn into a “friend”, if we realize how to deal with it, and sometimes, it finds… Diabetic “Al-Multamzum” experiences a sudden increase in his blood sugar levels, for no apparent reason, and following measuring his blood sugar successively, he finds the levels rising without stopping. What is the possible reason?!
Dr. Ahmed Al-Gammal, a consultant for internal medicine and diabetes in Kasr Al-Aini, answers in exclusive statements to “The Seventh Day,” explaining that there are many reasons that may cause a sudden increase in blood sugar levels, including a violation of a healthy diet, and “confusion” or excessive gluttony. Sometimes, in addition to violating the dates or types of diabetes medication prescribed to diabetics, in addition to many pathological factors, such as suffering from a sudden illness that may affect blood sugar levels, such as high blood pressure, for example, or exposure to sudden psychological pressure.
Here, the internal medicine and diabetes consultant advises the diabetic patient to pay attention to this sudden rise, and to focus on trying to reset his levels, so that the patient is not exposed to its complications, and its impact on the limbs, nerves, eyes, and health condition in general. These are some tips for dealing with a sudden rise in blood sugar:
– Adjust your diabetes medication, tablets or insulin, and do not violate its doses or timings no matter what.
For three days, commit to a diet free of sugar, fat, flour and its derivatives, and salt in the daily meals. Make it a strict regime to quickly control blood sugar levels.
If you have recently taken a new medication for any disease, or an antibiotic for example, consult your doctor regarding the possibility of stopping it to control your diabetes.
Measure your blood pressure, as it is strongly linked to sugar, and take blood pressure medication regularly if there has been an imbalance in it recently.
If you have recently introduced a certain type of drink or a new food into your diet, you should stop eating it if one of its ingredients causes a rise in sugar.
Ask your doctor regarding the possibility of adjusting your diabetes medication, as this increase may be an indication of the need to change it to another medication.
