Uncle Sun is just 65 years old this year. Since he retired, he and his wife have opened a small supermarket downstairs. Selling goods every day, walking around, life in my later years is very comfortable.

For a long time, Uncle Sun was in poor health, obese and suffering from hyperlipidemia and hypertension. With the growth of age, the family is very worried about the physical condition of Uncle Sun, which makes him do nothing and exercise more. However, Uncle Sun always thinks, "What's the matter? If blood pressure and blood lipid are high, just take some medicine. What sports do I do after old bones? I don't want to do it. "

"

However, it didn't take long for Uncle Sun to wake up in the morning and always feel a little uncomfortable. Sometimes my eyes are always black, tired, dizzy and nauseous, and it takes a while to pass.

Uncle Sun and his family felt scared. It is often not a physical problem. I don't want to take Uncle Sun to the hospital for examination. In addition to the original hyperlipidemia and hypertension, the test found that Uncle Sun's fasting blood glucose reached 14.5 mmol/L, which has reached the level of type II diabetes.

This result shocked Uncle Sun's family. Combined with his previous performance, Uncle Sun had the above performance a long time ago, but his symptoms were mild and he didn't care too much. He never thought that diabetes was at work.

Later, according to the situation of Uncle Sun, the doctor made some treatment plans for him. In addition to taking medicine and maintaining a healthy diet, he was specially told to keep exercising.

After coming back, Uncle Sun also realized the seriousness of his illness and began to try to exercise. Because I don't exercise all the year round, plus my obesity and hyperlipidemia, I can only do some simple aerobic exercise.

After insisting on this for a period of time, Uncle Sun felt that his physical condition had improved to a certain extent, and the whole person's "spirit" had a good change. At the same time, Uncle Sun's blood sugar finally dropped.

Then the problem is coming. Reasonable exercise like Grandpa Sun can really help control blood sugar, but it is not suitable for everyone. Let's talk about the related content of diabetes treatment today.

Here, I want to share my opinion: just like the situation of Uncle Sun in the above article, it is actually a microcosm of many people in our current life. As we all know, the occurrence of chronic diseases such as diabetes has a great relationship with our bad living habits, congenital factors, diet and spirit.

Among them, especially diabetes, if the blood sugar is not well controlled for a long time, it may lead to a series of complications, which will damage its own microcirculation and organ function and even threaten its life.

Thus, early treatment of diabetes is very important. However, among many patients I have contacted, taking medicine is very exclusive. Most friends hope to stabilize blood sugar through exercise. So is this method really feasible?

In terms of treatment, exercise really helps to control blood sugar, and also helps to relieve mental stress, enhance insulin sensitivity and improve insulin resistance; Strengthening muscle strength is helpful to improve cardiopulmonary function and quality of life.

Since exercise has so many benefits for sugar lovers, can it replace some drugs and diet therapy?

Although long-term reasonable exercise is helpful to lower blood sugar, it cannot replace the treatment of medicine and diet. In terms of treatment, diabetes should be treated comprehensively, and the controlled diet should continue to be controlled. Combined with healthy exercise, comprehensive treatment in many aspects can better control blood sugar and prevent some complications.

In addition to the above two points, many friends still have some misunderstandings about diabetes, and we should have a correct understanding of these points.

1. Some friends think that the blood sugar measured by the blood glucose meter is not accurate?

In today's life, no matter healthy people or diabetics, almost all families have blood glucose meters. Some friends here will find that the data detected by blood glucose meter is different from that detected by venous blood sampling.

Many people think that the blood sugar measured by blood glucose meter is inaccurate. Is that really the case?

In fact, most blood glucose meters are strictly compared before sale, but why are there differences in blood glucose values between them?

First of all, the blood samples collected by the two are different! Secondly, the peripheral blood collected after meals is arteriovenous mixed blood. Due to the increase of postprandial blood glucose, glucose is continuously used in the process of flowing from artery to vein, and the blood glucose concentration gradually decreases. At this time, the measured blood sugar value is slightly higher than the simple venous blood sugar.

In addition, improper use of blood glucose meter will also cause errors.

In addition, the patient's blood sugar is also affected by diet, exercise, mood and drugs. Therefore, when comparing blood sugar values, if they are different, the results may be biased.

It is said that taking medicine can be addictive, so using insulin can also be addictive, so you can't play it often.

For friends who have this view, I can only say that I know too little about diabetes.

From a medical point of view, the occurrence of diabetes is a series of manifestations of insufficient insulin secretion caused by many factors, and whether insulin treatment is needed depends on the level of insulin secretion.

Here are the first and second types of diabetes.

Type I diabetic patients: Most of the islet β cells are destroyed due to some factors, and the independent secretion of insulin cannot meet the needs of substance metabolism. Without insulin supplementation, they can't live a normal life. This is totally different from addiction.

Type II diabetic: This kind of friend is not absolutely unable to take insulin. If, after a long period of treatment, the insulin secreted by islet β cells can not meet the needs of human body due to the secondary failure of oral drugs or the progressive failure of islet β cells, exogenous insulin treatment is needed if necessary to control the disease.

In addition, insulin injection is not a manifestation of the deterioration of the disease, and many friends have some misunderstandings about this.

On the contrary, the early use of insulin is beneficial to the "recuperation" of islet β cells and the long-term control of diseases.

I think I have diabetes, so the less staple food I eat, the better?

For friends who have this idea, we should try our best to correct it, because the consequences are still very serious.

As far as the amount of staple food for diabetic patients is concerned, it should not be limited too low. To this end, I have summarized the following points.

1, glucose is the main energy source in the body. If the intake of carbohydrates is too small and the source of glucose is lacking, fat and protein will be used to decompose and supplement. If there is too much fat decomposition in the body, ketone bodies will increase, and diabetic patients are prone to ketoacidosis.

; In addition, if protein is decomposed too much in the body for a long time, it may become emaciated, weak and have low disease resistance, and even cause various infections in severe cases.

2. If you don't eat staple food often, it may cause reactive hyperglycemia after hypoglycemia to supplement the lack of glucose in the blood under hunger.

So that's why some diabetics have high blood sugar even if they don't eat.

Therefore, the combination of the above points does not mean that the less staple food you eat, the better. You must eat a proper amount of staple food (starchy food, etc.). It depends on your physical condition and activity intensity.

It is indeed a good choice to relieve hyperglycemia through exercise, but reasonable methods are the key. I have summarized several points for your reference.

In fact, for diabetics, proper physical exercise can reduce blood sugar by promoting muscle intake of glucose.

In addition, it can effectively improve the activity of muscle lipoprotein lipase, promote muscle to make more use of fatty acids, and help prevent arteriosclerosis and improve cardiopulmonary function.

This can also play a good role in preventing some complications of diabetes.

In addition, exercise can not only enhance physical fitness, but also help to cheer up the spirit and eliminate some negative emotions such as anxiety.

1. Make necessary preparations before exercise.

(1) First, do a comprehensive examination regularly or irregularly, mainly including: blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, heart, liver, kidney, lung function, fundus, nervous system, peripheral blood vessels, etc. , so as to keep abreast of their own changes.

(2) Choose suitable sports shoes, cotton socks and sportswear.

(3) When exercising, you can ask a few friends to exercise together, and if there is an emergency, you should also have a care.

There are many kinds of exercise methods, but aerobic exercise is the main one.

This is because aerobic exercise can play a very good exercise role in cardiopulmonary function, skeletal muscle and metabolic function. There are many methods of aerobic exercise (such as walking, jogging, riding a bike, going upstairs and downstairs, swimming, playing Tai Ji Chuan, and broadcasting exercises). ), which should be chosen according to your own situation. Let me recommend some methods to you.

Medical walking method: walk 100 meters on the road with a slope of 30, and then gradually increase to 2000 meters on the road with a slope of 50, or walk 15 minutes along the road with a slope of 30 ~ 50, and then walk on the flat ground for a period of time.

Jogging method: the running distance can start from 1000m, or you can choose according to your own situation.

After adaptation, gradually increase every week or every two weeks, but try to be within your tolerance.

Intermittent running: To put it bluntly, it means running a distance and walking a distance, which helps to reduce the burden on the heart and gradually increase the distance. This kind of running is suitable for people with poor cardiopulmonary function.

You can practice five types of aerobics.

(1) Leg Squat: Take a standing position, put your legs together, squat and inhale, then stand and exhale, and repeat for 6-8 times.

(2) Lateral movement: the back is upright and the arms are raised horizontally. When the right hand is raised, the upper body bends to the left. After reset, raise your left hand and bend your upper body to the right. Repeat 5-6 times.

(3) Flexion: Sit on the mat with your legs apart, bend your upper body slowly to the right, touch your right ankle with your hands as much as possible, exhale at the same time, inhale when you recover, and then bend your body to the left.

Alternate sides, repeat 4 ~ 5 times.

(4) Leg rotation: Take the supine position, put your legs together, put your hands on your side, lift your right leg, and make the straight leg rotate around inside and outside. After reset, lift your left leg to practice.

Alternate sides, repeat 5 ~ 6 times.

(5) Lift your hips against your knees: Take a prone position, support the ground with your arms and knees, lift your hips, move up and down, and make your waist and abdomen droop, with your abdomen close to your knees, like a cat shrugging.

Repeat 8 ~ 10 times after reduction.

You can practice simple family calisthenics.

(1) Tiptoe: Put your hands on the back of the chair and stand on tiptoe (lift your heels alternately left and right) 10 ~ 15 minutes.

(2) Climbing stairs: When climbing stairs, the back should be straight, and the speed depends on physical strength.

(3) Chair movement: bend your elbows, put your hands on your hips, keep your back straight, sit and stand in the chair repeatedly, depending on your physical strength.

(4) Countering exercise: Hold your hands on the wall and put your feet together to make your upper body lean forward and increase muscle tension. Support 15 seconds each time, and do it 3 ~ 5 times.

(5) Exercise in bed: Lie flat on the bed, raise your feet (you can raise your feet with a quilt or pillow), and then sit up slowly when your feet are numb, and so on.

You can choose one of the above five forms of exercise or do it alternately.

The intensity of exercise should be controlled at a moderate level. At first, the exercise time can be shorter, and after a long time, the exercise time can be gradually increased.

Tai Ji Chuan can be said to be the best exercise method for middle-aged and elderly friends.

Tai Ji Chuan itself is a kind of moderate and slow health-keeping exercise, which is deeply loved by many middle-aged and old friends, and is very helpful for strengthening physique and preventing diseases.

Among them, the basic methods are often "giving up, rowing, squeezing, pressing, bending, leaning, advancing, retreating, supporting, looking and deciding".

The movements are slow and comfortable. When practicing boxing, the waist should be straight, the jaw should be closed, the back should be straight, and the shoulders should hang down, which has the artistic conception of floating clouds.

At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan also attaches great importance to practicing. The so-called "qi" can be understood as one's own spirit.

This is a good exercise method for some middle-aged and old friends with poor legs and feet.

All of us can choose the amount of these exercises according to our own situation. It should be noted that warm-up exercise should be carried out before formal exercise. Generally, stretching your feet before exercise, bending over and walking slowly are all possible. In short, let your muscles move first, and your heart rate will rise slowly to avoid muscle damage.

3. Exercise should be regular and the intensity should be gradual.

Choose the exercise that suits you according to your own conditions, which is what I have always emphasized. I hope all of us pay attention to it.

If we have leg pain, chest pain, chest tightness, breath holding, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea and other symptoms during exercise.

You should stop exercising first and have a rest in the same place. If it can't be relieved or aggravated at this time, you should go to a doctor for examination.

Although exercise is very helpful to relieve hyperglycemia, it does not mean that it is suitable for everyone. If you have all kinds of acute infections, cardiac insufficiency, severe diabetic nephropathy, diabetic foot and thrombosis recently, you should try to reduce exercise as much as possible, because a little carelessness may aggravate the progress of your own disease.

4. In addition to exercise, we should pay more attention to the following points in life, so as to alleviate the situation of elevated blood sugar, because diabetes treatment is comprehensive.

1, develop good living habits.

Live regularly and eat moderately.

2. Compared with non-smoking diabetic patients, the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, vasculitis of lower limbs and foot necrosis will increase a lot, so friends who have diabetes should try to avoid it.

3. Excessive drinking will aggravate diabetes or cause hypoglycemia and cover up the symptoms of hypoglycemia, which may lead to an increase in blood triglyceride and lactic acid levels.

4. Control fat intake.

Diabetes patients often have hyperlipidemia, which can promote the occurrence and development of macrovascular complications.

5. Develop the good habit of regular physical examination, at least once a month.

Usually, urine sugar is measured frequently, and conditional self-test blood sugar is better.

Under special circumstances, such as fever, diarrhea or general malaise, you should seek medical advice in time.

6, adhere to the scientific treatment methods that suit you, and don't blindly believe in some so-called health care methods.

7. In addition, it is best to keep in touch with the doctor.

There is a phone number of a doctor who often sees a doctor.

Keep all kinds of records, including diet and medication, blood sugar, urine sugar and other related tests.

8, in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, don't increase or decrease without authorization.

Don't pretend to be a "doctor" and buy medicine at will.

Avoid taking glibenclamide and compound preparations containing glibenclamide. Too strong and too fast will induce hypoglycemia.

9. Once symptoms such as palpitation, dizziness, shaking hands and irritability appear, the possibility of hypoglycemia should be considered, and a small amount of food or sugary drinks can be eaten immediately to prevent severe hypoglycemia.

Conclusion: It is indeed a good method for diabetic patients to relieve hyperglycemia through exercise, but this situation is not suitable for everyone.

You should choose according to your own situation.

At the same time, we should all have this idea in our hearts, that is, exercise does not represent the treatment of drugs and diet, because it is a comprehensive choice for diabetes treatment.

I hope all of us can remember what I said above.
