Why do diabetics sometimes need to prevent hypoglycemia?

The most dangerous complication in people with diabetes is hypoglycemia, especially in patients on hypoglycemic drugs or insulin. Current diagnosis of hypoglycemia: blood sugar L for the average person, while diabetic patients who use drugs have lower blood sugar and stricter blood glucose standards than normal.

Hypoglycemia is diagnosed when blood glucose < L, and hypoglycemia can cause irreversible damage to the body, with the heart and cerebrovascular blood vessels being the most affected.

Effect of hypoglycemia on the cardiovascular system: The earliest manifestation is an irregular heartbeat, such as palpitation. If hypoglycemia is not detected and corrected in time, it can further cause irreversible cardiovascular damage.

For diabetics with cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary heart disease, hypoglycemia poses a greater risk. Diabetes can cause large and small vascular diseases and cause coronary artery disease. When hypoglycemia occurs, the heart increases its workload to meet the body's needs, and the increased heart rate further exacerbates coronary ischemia, so it can induce the onset of acute cardiovascular disease and be life-threatening.

Effect of hypoglycemia on brain function: Brain tissue is the most sensitive to sugar and has a high demand for sugar energy. When hypoglycemia causes great damage to the brain and brain tissue, even after normal blood sugar, it may take time for brain function to recover, more than 1 hour may even lead to irreversible damage, hypoglycemia can also affect cerebral blood flow.

Transient coma and the resulting limb dysfunction are manifestations of hypoglycemic brain injury, particularly in older patients with cerebrovascular disease. Patients have been concerned about the harm caused by hyperglycemia and believe that the lower the blood sugar, the better, and ignore the fatal harm of hypoglycemia. The occurrence of multiple hypoglycemia can lead to irreversible damage to brain function and even the development of dementia.

Therefore, to prevent hypoglycemia, patients should work with their doctor to develop a reasonable ** plan, including a balanced diet, choice of medications, a detailed understanding of when hypoglycemia is predisposed, healthy dietary recipes, and the timing and frequency of eating. In addition, diabetics should relax and not be too afraid of diabetes, so as not to control their diet and drug abuse too much, which can increase the risk of diabetes. Patients should eat as much vegetable food as possible and eat as little starchy food as possible.

When you have low blood sugar, drink sugar water or eat cube sugar immediately to recover faster.

Because most diabetic patients need to take insulin, and they usually can't eat too much sugar, and then exercise, there is no sugar in the body, of course, low blood sugar.

Because diabetic patients generally have hypoglycemia as a complication of this disease, it is necessary to prevent hypoglycemia, otherwise it may cause irreversible damage to the body, and it will also have a great impact on blood vessels, heart disease, etc.

Frequent hypoglycemia can lead to harm: vision and hearing loss, induce or aggravate senile dementia, and the incidence of dizziness, fainting, falls, and fractures is greatly increased. In severe cases, it can lead to coma.

The harm is very great, it may aggravate your condition, and there will be problems with the nervous system; Lifestyle must be adjusted, do not eat spicy food, do not eat your own food, or you must choose the right one, and you must exercise regularly, so that you can prevent hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia, myocardial sweating and tremor usually occur, severe cases can also have mental changes, preventive measures should be regular, regular and quantitative eating, strengthen blood sugar testing, and the amount of exercise should not be too large.

There may be fainting, there may also be convulsions of the limbs, mental disorders may occur, and the nerves may be severely affected. Be sure to eat on time, never skip breakfast, and take proper rest.

1. Pay attention to the amount of drugs used A large part of the reason for hypoglycemia in diabetic patients is because of excessive drug use. Some diabetics increase the dosage without authorization in order to allow their blood sugar to drop rapidly when taking drugs, resulting in low blood sugar and hypoglycemia. Obviously, the dosage of the drug is regulated, and diabetics should use it under the guidance of a doctor, and they cannot blindly increase the dosage of the drug by themselves, because increasing the dosage of the drug makes the blood sugar drop rapidly and leads to hypoglycemia, which is easy to cause various complications.

2. Pay attention to the amount of exercise Although exercise can help lower blood sugar, diabetics should pay attention when exercising. Excessive exercise can not reduce blood sugar drop, excessive exercise will make the body's energy be consumed a lot, and if the energy intake is insufficient, it is easy to consume glucose in the muscles, which will easily lead to hypoglycemia. Therefore, diabetics should pay attention to the amount of exercise when exercising, and choose the mode and intensity of exercise according to their physical condition.

3. Carry food with you When some diabetics have mild symptoms of hypoglycemia, they can alleviate the symptoms if they supplement the symptoms in time, so diabetics should carry some high-sugar foods with them, so that they can replenish them in time when they have hypoglycemia symptoms to prevent the aggravation of hypoglycemia symptoms.

People with diabetes can't predict when they will experience hypoglycemia, and it can occur at any time and place, such as at home, in the office, on the street, while driving, or on the beach. Once hypoglycemia occurs, patients should immediately put down their work and consume sugary foods or beverages as soon as possible. Generally** the emergency for hypoglycemia is to consume a food or drink containing 15 to 20g of glucose.

The following are the food servings containing 15 20 g of glucose: 280 380 ml of cola, 250 of 340 ml of orange juice, 210 of 280 ml of orange juice soda, 30 g of bread. It is advisable to rest for 10 to 15 minutes after eating, if you still feel unwell after 15 minutes, you can eat some sugary foods such as fruits, biscuits, bread, etc.

If hypoglycemia persists, the patient should be taken to the hospital immediately for resuscitation.

To prevent hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, the first thing to control blood sugar should be accurate, and the blood sugar should be controlled and stable for a long time, coupled with a regular diet, eat less high-sugar, high-calorie, high-fat foods such as desserts, cakes, milk tea, etc., and usually cooperate with appropriate exercise to effectively prevent the occurrence of hypoglycemia.

Pay attention to the amount of glucose-lowering drugs used. Many diabetic patients may be in the process of daily medication, it may be because the blood glucose monitoring is not in place or the drug dose is increased, in the case of excessive medication, the blood sugar will drop rapidly, resulting in hypoglycemia.

The cause of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients is mainly related to the excessive dose of drugs or eating disorders, in order to prevent the occurrence of hypoglycemia, it is necessary to use the dosage accurately, eat on time, and each meal should contain a certain amount of coarse grains, so that the fluctuation of blood sugar can be smaller.

Hypoglycemia is a common concurrent disease in the process of diabetes, and if you want to prevent this complication, you should pay attention to the amount of medication, pay attention to the amount of exercise, carry food, and maintain good living habits.

Hypoglycemia is a common concurrent condition in the process of diabetes**. To prevent this complication, it is important to pay attention to the amount of medication you take, the amount of exercise, the food you carry, and maintain a good lifestyle.

Diabetic patients should prevent hypoglycemia through rational use of drugs and regular life.

Diabetes is very harmful to the human body, we try to prevent and control diabetes, diabetes can cause a variety of diseases, diabetes, it is easy to have lower blood sugar, diabetic patients should quantify drugs on time, try to control blood sugar within the normal range, diabetic patients are prone to hypoglycemia in the process, how should diabetic patients prevent and deal with hypoglycemia?

How can people with diabetes prevent and manage hypoglycemia? There is a contradiction in diabetes, on the one hand, it is necessary to emphasize strict control of blood sugar, and on the other hand, it is necessary to remind patients to prevent hypoglycemia. Poor glycemic control can lead to increased complications of diabetes, while hypoglycemia can cause a series of serious neurological symptoms such as central nervous system disorders and loss of consciousness.

These manifestations are harmful to the human body and are not conducive to the maintenance of health. People with diabetes may develop hypoglycemia during the period, and the risk of hypoglycemia increases with age. In other words, older patients have an increased risk of hypoglycemia during the hypoglycemia** process compared with young and middle-aged diabetic patients, and the degree of hypoglycemia is more severe, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis or life-threatening.

Hypoglycemia in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus is related to drug factors and physiological decline in the elderly. Older people secrete less glucagon, growth hormone, and adrenaline, all three of which are glucagon-boosting hormones, and their reduced secretion means they are less able to regulate their blood sugar. Once hypoglycemia is caused by drugs and other factors, it is difficult to produce a stress response in time.

As a result, hypoglycemia is more severe and persistent in older people with diabetes.

In addition, glomerular filtration rate decreases by 1% per year in older adults, resulting in a gradual decline in renal filtration function and a slowdown in the clearance of drugs and insulin. In this way, once the drug is selected or the dosage is not reasonable, it is easy to cause the accumulation of drugs and insulin, which prolongs the duration of drug action and increases the risk of hypoglycemia. At the same time, the elderly have reduced hepatic gluconeogenesis and less hepatic glycogen production and storage, and once hypoglycemia occurs, it is difficult to compensate, thus aggravating the degree of hypoglycemia.

How can people with diabetes prevent and manage hypoglycemia? It is easy to lead to kidney disease in diabetic patients, which will seriously affect kidney health, and it is easy to have low blood sugar, diabetic patients should have good blood sugar control, do not let the problem of high and low blood sugar, especially the elderly need more good blood sugar control, and diabetic patients with diabetes usually exercise regularly.

First, the medication is accurate, you can't blindly use the drug, especially the two drugs of secretagogue and insulin, which are very easy to cause hypoglycemia, the dosage should be appropriate when using these two drugs, and the diet must be timely, and it cannot be said that you don't eat with insulin, which is very easy to hypoglycemia. Second, exercise in moderation and not excessive and large amounts of exercise, which can easily lead to hypoglycemia. Third, don't eat too many sweet snacks, which can easily promote a large amount of insulin secretion, which can lead to hypoglycemia after a full meal.

Develop good living habits, regular work and rest, quit smoking and drinking, eat regularly and quantitatively, try to prevent and control diabetes Strictly control blood sugar, measure blood sugar frequently, understand blood sugar conditions, carry some sugar cubes with you, you can drink some fruit juice, and if you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital in time.

If you want to prevent and deal with hypoglycemia, you can go to do more relevant tests, usually eat more nutritious food, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less when eating, you can choose to eat more meals, don't stay up late for a long time, and maintain enough sleep.

Eat foods that are high in nutrients, eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise actively, follow your doctor's advice, go to bed early and get up early without putting too much pressure on yourself, and don't eat more sweets, you can eat more grains.

Diabetics should pay attention to the prevention of hypoglycemia in the process of lowering blood sugar. If your blood sugar drops too much or too quickly, you may experience mild symptoms such as palpitation, sweating, and shaking hands. In severe cases, abnormal behavior may occur, and even lead to coma; Some patients may also experience life-threatening nocturnal hypoglycemia.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and is caused by inadequate insulin secretion and insulin resistance. It may also be accompanied by protein, fat, and water-electrolyte disturbances; It often leads to complications of the eye, kidney, nerve, and cardiovascular system.

Hypoglycemia is a common complication of insulin or sulfonylurea medications in people with diabetes and can significantly affect their daily lives, such as driving, work, and leisure activities. In addition to sudden accidents and personal injuries, hypoglycemia can lead to cardiovascular disease and central nervous system disease. Fear of hypoglycemia can lead to failures in self-management and glycemic control in people with diabetes.

But it is easy to manifest as personality changes, insomnia, dreaminess, and even myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Therefore, one of the most important aspects of diabetes is to effectively prevent hypoglycemia. Preventive measures include:

Regular life, regular diet, strengthen blood sugar monitoring, and the amount of exercise should not be too large.

It is recommended to have a fixed amount of exercise every day, carry candy with you when you go out to exercise, and take medicine according to the doctor's instructions. Carefully check the medication and dosage, especially the type and dose of insulin, before each dose. If 60% of diabetic patients have coronary heart disease and hypoglycemia symptoms, it is easy to induce angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure and other diseases.

Diabetic patients will experience hypoglycemia, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain and impaired consciousness. However, long-term hypoxia of brain cells may lead to irreversible damage, and in severe cases, brain function may be affected. Diabetic patients are prone to hypoglycemic coma and even life-threatening if they are not timely**.

When patients develop hypoglycemia, symptoms such as confusion, headache, dizziness, speech impairment, gradual loss of orientation and discrimination, fear, confusion, hallucinations, mania, irritability, focal neuropathy, psychotic episodes, dementia, seizures, hemiplegia, coma, cerebral rigidity, loss of various reflexes, shallow and weak breathing, drop in blood pressure, miosis, etc. The most important principle of hypoglycemia is that prevention is better than **. Once diabetic patients find hypoglycemia, glucose supplementation is the fastest and most effective method.

People with mild symptoms can take glucose, water or beverages, sugar water, sugar cubes by mouth. Patients with severe impairment of consciousness who cannot take glucose orally are given intravenous glucose. After that, according to the ****, it is very important to determine the ** or trigger in time to effectively alleviate hypoglycemia.
