We need to look at this problem from two aspects:
1. For people with diabetes caused by obesity, losing weight is also the most important step to control the disease. If you lose to the standard weight, your blood sugar will get better. Especially for people with diabetes complicated with hyperlipidemia and hypertension, blood lipid and blood pressure will start to get better after losing weight!
When all the indicators of our body get better, our body will not continue to lose weight. I am a diabetic myself. When I was hospitalized, my fasting blood glucose was 13.6, my second meal was 210.3, and my weight was 195 kg.
About three months after discharge, the weight dropped to 162kg, hyperlipidemia disappeared, fasting blood sugar was 6, and no medicine was taken on the third day after discharge. This is actually the result of strict control of diet and exercise.
2. For diabetics who are not too fat and have a lower weight than normal people, properly increasing the intake of protein, coupled with proper strength exercise, and increasing muscles will actually make their weight slowly return to normal and their physique begin to get better!
What needs to be emphasized here is that you can't blindly eat more staple foods because you are thin, which will actually aggravate the condition of diabetes and make you thinner! So be sure to control the amount of staple food! Only when the blood sugar is stable will the weight slowly return to normal!
So is it good or bad for diabetics to lose weight?
For this problem, we still need dialectical analysis and treatment. Type 2 diabetes has many friends. At the early stage of diabetes, there was no obvious weight loss, but there was a very serious obesity problem, which also led to insulin resistance.
The further increase of blood sugar is a very important risk factor for type 2 diabetes. For such a friend, losing weight is also an important aspect of improving our body's blood sugar metabolism, improving cellular insulin resistance and lowering and regulating blood sugar.
Under such circumstances, it is a good thing to control weight by controlling diet, strengthening daily exercise and using hypoglycemic agents with weight loss effect.
For some thin diabetic friends, if the hyperglycemia is not controlled in time, or for other related reasons, the weight will be further reduced, forming a situation of getting thinner and even lighter. We need to pay attention to this situation.
Excessive emaciation of diabetic patients requires our active attention:
If patients with diabetes suffer from abnormal rapid and excessive weight loss, they should pay more attention to it. There are really many reasons to lose weight. Here is a brief summary of the common reasons:
The first possibility is that the blood sugar has not been effectively controlled for a long time, the glucose in the body has not been fully utilized, and the insulin secretion is absolutely insufficient, which leads to the consumption of fat, protein and other related nutrients in our body, but the synthesis is blocked because of the problem of hormone level.
This problem causes our bodies to lose weight. If you can actively control your blood sugar level, the excessive emaciation caused by this reason can often be better improved.
Another possibility is that when some friends regulate blood sugar in their lives, the diet control is really too strict, which leads to insufficient nutrient intake in our bodies, so we have to consume some nutrient reserves in our bodies to maintain physiological functions.
Because of malnutrition, it is a problem of losing weight. In fact, such a diet is not desirable, except malnutrition.
It is also likely to lead to a greatly increased risk of hypoglycemia. Diabetes is the key to control hyperglycemia. Reducing the fluctuation of blood sugar level and controlling the risk of hypoglycemia are also worthy of our attention.
In short, if our body is abnormally thin, we should not only consider the blood sugar control of diabetes itself, or the reasons for excessive dieting in the process of sugar control, but also find out the specific reasons that lead to our body weight loss from many aspects and make corresponding adjustments for related reasons.
At the same time, we also need to pay attention to strengthen the body's nutrition and exercise to promote our own vitality. These are actually important ways to improve the abnormal weight loss of diabetic patients!
