Is it useful for people with hypoglycemia to eat sugar?
The fasting blood glucose of normal people is 3.9-6.0 mmol/L. If the blood glucose is lower than 2.8mmol/L, it is called hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia has two manifestations: 1. Sympathetic nerve excitation is the main manifestation. Patients are flustered and sweaty, mainly manifested as cold sweat, cold limbs, flaccid paralysis, delirium and other mental disorders. At this time, sugar water, honey water, food and dried fruits should be given immediately to relieve. 2. Another symptom that some patients may have hypoglycemia is the damage to the central nervous system, that is, they directly enter a coma after hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic coma is a very dangerous symptom. If hypoglycemia coma lasts for 6 hours, it will cause irreversible damage to nerve cells in the brain, from vegetative to life-threatening. Hypoglycemia mostly occurs in diabetic patients with islet cell tumor or oral drugs, with low insulin intake and no eating, mainly in diabetic patients. Therefore, diabetic patients should keep some snacks, biscuits, snacks, candy bars, etc. at hand during drug treatment to prevent hypoglycemia in case of emergency.
How do people with hypoglycemia lose weight?
1, try to take part in exercise within 1-2 hours after meals, when blood sugar is high and hypoglycemia is not easy to occur.
2. Avoid exercising when insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents have the strongest effect. For example, after short-acting insulin injection 1 hour or so, it is not suitable to participate in exercise, because exercise increases blood sugar consumption, enhances hypoglycemic effect, and is prone to hypoglycemia.
3. People who need insulin injections should try not to choose strenuous exercise in thighs and other parts. Because the blood circulation at the injection site is accelerated during exercise, insulin absorption is accelerated, which is easy to induce hypoglycemia.
4. Don't exercise on an empty stomach. People who have the habit of doing morning exercises should be treated differently: when their fasting blood sugar is higher than 6 or 7 mmol/L (65 65,438+0.20 mg/DL), they can exercise, and morning exercises can be done on an empty stomach. When the fasting blood glucose is lower than 6 or 7 mmol/L, you should eat some food before exercise, and then start exercise after 10 minutes. Those whose fasting blood sugar is lower than 6 or 7 mmol/L, those who use medium or long-acting insulin before meals, or those who take oral hypoglycemic drugs can take part in exercise (taking medicine before meals or before going to bed the day before) under the condition of appropriately reducing the dosage of drugs. If you are engaged in moderate-intensity and above activities for a long time, you should appropriately reduce the dosage of insulin (especially short-acting insulin) or oral hypoglycemic drugs before exercise, and appropriately increase your appetite before or during exercise. After the end of heavy exercise, you should increase your food intake appropriately. These exercises have a lasting hypoglycemic effect, and sometimes hypoglycemia may occur within 12 hours after exercise.
Is hypoglycemia life-threatening
For the hypoglycemia that has occurred, as long as we can accurately and timely judge the occurrence of hypoglycemia and give corresponding treatment, then hypoglycemia can be alleviated and cured. Occasional hypoglycemia is not dangerous after treatment, but if hypoglycemia occurs frequently and is not treated in time, it will do great harm to human body, especially to the central nervous system and brain cells. If hypoglycemia lasts too long, it may even endanger life, leading to coma and death.
What are the hazards of hypoglycemia?
Hypoglycemia is more harmful to human body, especially to elderly patients, than hyperglycemia. The main hazards of hypoglycemia are: when hypoglycemia occurs, glycophiles such as adrenaline, glucocorticoid, glucagon and growth hormone increase in the body, leading to reactive blood sugar (Sumujie effect), which causes blood sugar fluctuation and aggravation. Long-term repeated severe hypoglycemia attacks can lead to irreversible damage to the central nervous system, causing personality variation, mental disorders, dementia and so on. If hypoglycemia is not properly controlled, it will do great harm to patients' health. Specifically, adrenergic symptoms include sweating, nervousness, trembling, weakness, dizziness, palpitation and hunger, which are attributed to increased sympathetic nerve activity and increased adrenaline release (which may occur in patients undergoing adrenalectomy). (2) The manifestations of the central nervous system include confusion, abnormal behavior, visual impairment, stupor, coma and epilepsy. Hypoglycemic coma usually leads to hypothermia. Hypoglycemia can also stimulate the cardiovascular system and promote arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and stroke.
