People with high blood sugar should try to avoid these five things when taking metformin. I suggest getting to know them early.
One: take it in large doses
Metformin should not be taken in large doses at first, but should be used at 0.5 per day. Don't blindly increase the dose, and it should not exceed 2 grams per day. In the medication stage, if you find that your blood sugar can't be controlled in the normal range, you can go to the hospital for help and add other hypoglycemic drugs for treatment.
Two: avoid swallowing crushed powder.
Metformin can take effect immediately after taking it, which has a good effect on stabilizing blood sugar. Many people with high blood sugar will take metformin and grind it into powder or break it into powder, which will reduce the curative effect and even make the drug not work normally. At the same time, symptoms such as hypoglycemia, severe coma, poisoning, etc. occur, so when taking metformin, you need to swallow it whole, and don't break it or grind it into powder.
Three: Don't eat grapefruit before and after.
Grapefruit is a very common fruit in autumn and winter festivals and is very popular with people. Grapefruit contains a variety of vitamins, which is good for your health. Eating grapefruit can relieve stress, promote blood circulation and eliminate physical fatigue. The special substances contained in grapefruit can improve the metabolic rate of human body, accelerate fat burning and help to lose weight. Because of its high nutrition and low sugar content, grapefruit is the favorite of patients with hyperglycemia.
People with high blood sugar, especially after taking metformin, can't eat grapefruit for half an hour. Grapefruit contains special enzymes, which will reduce the effect of drugs and adversely affect the stability of blood sugar.
Four: take medicine to see the mood.
Clinically speaking, the use of metformin must be taken according to strict regulations, and doctors will decide according to the patient's situation when taking the medicine.
According to the severity, formulate the time and process of taking medicine. If there are other adverse reactions, such as intestinal discomfort, elevated body level, diabetes, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. If you want to relieve the bad symptoms of your body, you need to deal with it in your body with an effective mechanism of getting sick and take it on time in strict accordance with the doctor's advice.
Five: Self-combined medication
At the same time, people with hyperglycemia or other diseases need to pay attention to the interaction between different drugs, otherwise the drugs will not be properly controlled and the drugs will collide.
For example, metformin and cimetidine cannot be taken at the same time, which will increase the drug concentration in the blood and affect the two drugs. In addition, many drugs are interactive and will bring toxicity to the body when taking them, so don't use other drugs when taking them. If you must take them, you must consult a doctor.

How to prevent diabetes?
First, to maintain a healthy lifestyle, the first thing is to control the diet, reduce the intake of unhealthy foods such as fat, carbohydrates and trans fatty acids, reduce the intake of calories, maintain a reasonable figure and body shape, and remain overweight.
