Guangzhou 29-year-old Miss Lin because of a cup of milk tea, suffered from diabetes and led to multiple organ failure, nearly died on the operating table.
Recently, Miss Lin suddenly appeared dry mouth, abdominal pain and other symptoms, and then went to the hospital for examination, after the doctor’s diagnosis of Miss Lin appeared multi-organ failure, confirmed the diagnosis of explosive diabetes.
After the doctor learned through Miss Lin’s account, Miss Lin before this very much like to drink milk tea, usually quite like to drink sweet drinks, and the culprit of the outbreak of diabetes is these milk tea.
In this regard, many people expressed confusion, it is clear that people like and milk tea, why some people drink it is fine, some people will break out diabetes? Could it be that too much sugar is added?
So, did Miss Lin get diabetes because she ate too much sugar?
First, “sugar” is the culprit of diabetes? In fact, it is the lack of this substance
In fact, sugar is not the culprit of diabetes, the lack of insulin is the main cause of diabetes.
The former is due to abnormal secretion of insulin, while the latter is due to skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and liver are not as sensitive to insulin, or reflect a decline in the normal range of insulin does not have a normal effect, insulin resistance occurs.
Insulin can break down the sugar in the body, and after sugar intake, it can provide the body with calories, and 70% of the body’s energy is provided by sugar. However, too much sugar should not be consumed at once, as the caloric content of sucrose is very high, and too much intake will lead to obesity, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure, as well as the occurrence of diabetes.
In other words, sugar is not the culprit of diabetes, but the lack of insulin or insulin resistance is the culprit of diabetes.
Second, people with thin legs and big bellies are more likely to develop diabetes? Yes, the risk is higher!
Due to the high prevalence of diabetes, many people entering middle age are afraid of their high blood sugar, of which some people say that people with thin legs and big bellies are more likely to suffer from diabetes.
Indeed, according to a survey, 65% of people with diabetes are obese or overweight, so obesity becomes a risk factor for diabetes.
And abdominal obese people, that is, we say the belly is big, generally more abdominal fat, the body’s metabolic function will appear abnormal, after the glucose metabolism function will also be affected, too much fat accumulation, the formation of insulin will be affected, so that obese people are naturally more likely to suffer from diabetes.
Third, these 4 points are the “first signs” of diabetes, timely catch
Compared to hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, the symptoms of diabetes are relatively difficult to detect, or there is not much specificity, so how can we catch diabetes in time for treatment?
Clinically, we say that the four symptoms of diabetes are summarized as “three more and one less”, that is, polyuria, polyphagia, polyphagia and weight loss. The main reason for the occurrence of polyuria and drinking is that the body of diabetic patients is seriously damaged due to the increase of blood sugar, and the body, in order to protect itself, excretes the sugar in the body through urination, so that the urine will increase.
And because the body lacks a lot of water due to urination, it is naturally more thirsty. Patients appear to overeat mainly because in the early stage of the disease, the insulin secretion function has not yet failed, and the insulin in the body is not only not less, but even increased, which may lead to the situation of overeating. The main reason for weight loss is that the patient’s sugar utilization is not very good, and the body does not get enough energy, so it can only use muscle and fat, resulting in fat loss and muscle consumption, etc.
Therefore, if the body has three more and one less, you can suspect that it is suffering from diabetes, especially the high incidence of dead diabetes.
Fourth, diabetes has many complications, and treatment depends on “3 legs”
Diabetes has many complications, almost from the eyes to the feet, so how can we treat diabetes?
In medicine, there is a standard for treating diabetes, which some doctors call “3 legs”. The “3 legs” are exercise, diet and medication, all three of which are used to maintain blood sugar stability.
What are the three legs? Diet
For different types of diabetic patients, the dietary requirements are different. Take type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes for example, type 2 diabetes patients are generally fat and doctors will let them control their diet properly, but type 1 diabetes patients are thin and doctors suggest eating more. type 1 diabetes patients are prone to malnutrition in the early stage, so while using insulin, patients can eat more according to their condition. Each diabetic patient is different, so the amount of dietary control varies and should be adjusted according to their situation.
? Exercise
Diabetic patients who want to exercise need to be evaluated, not every patient can exercise, blindly exercise, the effect will only be counterproductive. Patients with diabetes accompanied by heart attack cannot exercise at medium intensity. The standard for medium intensity is to exercise with slight sweating, maintain a heart rate of 170-age, and exercise for 30 minutes a day. If you eat more, the duration of exercise can be slightly longer.
? Medication
Clinically, diabetic patients should not adjust their own medication privately, but strictly control the amount of medication they take, and it is very important to take medication regularly. Irregular medication can easily lead to fluctuations in blood sugar, and at the same time can cause damage to the body’s organs and speed up and occurrence of the occurrence.
Five, diet control is very critical, these 3 kinds of food is recommended not to touch
Compared to exercise and drugs, most diabetics do well, but diet has always been a pain for many people. For the control of diabetes, diet control is a crucial part, and these 3 kinds of food recommended that diabetics do not touch.
1, carbonated beverages
Many people love carbonated beverages, but diabetics can not touch. First of all, carbonated beverages are high in calories, high in sugar, and do not have a lot of nutrition. Long-term drinking carbonated beverages, it is easy to malnutrition, but also easy to accumulate fat, resulting in obesity, which will increase the risk of diabetes. So carbonated beverages are not recommended to drink.
2、Milk tea
Young people love milk tea, but diabetes patients are absolutely prohibited to drink milk tea. Because milk tea is all processed substances inside, our body needs vitamins, minerals, protein is completely absent.
3, fried starchy food
Fried starchy food is delicious and convenient, popular, but because this kind of food glycemic index and energy are very high, so diabetic patients are best not to eat, even if not diabetic patients, because this kind of food is very high energy and oil, for their own health, or eat less is better.
The occurrence of diabetes affects our health and quality of life, so diabetic patients must pay attention to prevent complications of diabetes and follow the requirements of the doctor to strictly control sugar, so that blood sugar is controlled at the average.
