How do diabetics monitor their blood glucose?

Diabetic patients should have blood glucose monitoring, and the frequency of testing can depend on the patient's condition. Usually patients who are in stable condition can be measured on an empty stomach within a week, and blood glucose can be measured after meals, every 2 hours and every 2 to 3 weeks. If the diabetic patient is in a fluctuating period, the condition should be measured 4 to 7 times a day, or throughout the day from Tuesday to 3 days until the condition is stable.

There are other special circumstances, if hypoglycemia is more likely to occur after exercise and drinking, it is necessary to measure blood sugar at this time. For example, when the patient has a cold and fever, mood swings, and the patient feels unwell, it is necessary to randomly increase the measurement of blood glucose.

Fasting blood glucose is usually measured after 8-12 hours of overnight fasting and before meals the next morning, and the normal measurement of fasting blood glucose is millimole to millimol liters, and the data indicates the secretion of basal insulin. The correct way to measure blood sugar will have an impact on the measured value, so it is necessary to pay attention to the method of measuring blood sugar and familiarize yourself with the precautions for measurement. The normality of the blood glucose meter plays a significant role in the measurement, so it is necessary to choose a fixed time to calibrate the blood glucose meter, and it should be noted that when the blood glucose monitoring value results are different from the glycosylated hemoglobin value of diabetic patients, it is best to go to the hospital to draw blood on the vein to measure blood glucose.

Before measuring blood sugar, wash your hands with warm water or soap, disinfect your fingers and abdomen with an appropriate amount of alcohol, and wait for them to dry before you can collect blood.

Strictly speaking, the accurate way to collect blood is to choose a thinner place on both sides of the fingertip to collect blood, and it is best to take blood on both sides of the ring finger, because the blood vessels on both sides are more abundant, and it will not be too painful in this position, and the blood drawn will be more sufficient, and it will not affect the measurement results because the blood collected is not enough. In addition, in the process of taking blood samples, be careful not to squeeze hard, so as not to squeeze out part of the tissue fluid, which will cause a certain degree of dilution to the blood samples taken, so that the measurement results are too low.

It can be monitored 5-7 times a day in the short term. The 7 blood glucose monitoring sessions generally include glucose monitoring before and two hours after three meals and before bedtime.

We test at least three to four times a day, on an empty stomach, two hours after breakfast, two hours after lunch, and even two hours after dinner, we mean the initial episode, and the continuous testing is generally about a week to two weeks.

At least three to four times a day, on an empty stomach, two hours after breakfast, two hours after lunch, and two hours after dinner, and generally continuous testing for about a week to two weeks.

There are a few things to pay attention to in diabetes:

1.Dietary control: The intake of sugar should be controlled in the diet, and try to choose low-sugar, high-fiber, and low-fat foods. At the same time, the diet should be balanced, not excessive, and avoid high-calorie foods such as large fish and meat.

2.Exercise control: Moderate exercise can help control blood sugar, increase the body's metabolic rate, and enhance cardiopulmonary function.

3.Regular check-ups: Diabetic patients should go to the hospital regularly to check the changes in blood sugar, vision, kidneys, etc.

4.Pay attention to medication use: Diabetic patients must use their medications according to their doctor's instructions and follow their doctor's protocol responsibly.

5.Avoid indiscriminate use of other similar drugs so as not to affect the clinical diagnosis and**.

How to monitor blood sugar effectively?

1.Home blood glucose meter: Diabetics can buy a home blood glucose meter and regularly self-monitor their blood sugar at home.

2.Designated hospitals: Diabetic patients can go to the hospital regularly to check their blood sugar. The hospital has high detection accuracy and can better grasp the trend of blood sugar changes.

3.Through continuous measurement of blood glucose and other technologies for blood glucose monitoring, blood glucose trends can be continuously recorded and the condition of diabetes can be grasped.

4.The accuracy, stability and duration of different monitoring methods will be different, and patients with rhaemic diabetes need to choose the appropriate blood glucose monitoring method according to their condition and actual situation.

Determine your current diabetes** regime (e.g., whether it's oral or basal insulin or strong insulin).

Follow this method to find the blood glucose monitoring meter that applies to you.

Punch in strictly according to the table within a fixed period of time, and then interpret the data to the doctor or expert to develop a more targeted blood sugar management plan that does more with less.

If the disease is severe and the blood sugar fluctuates greatly, in order to fully grasp the condition, it is often necessary to choose two to three days a week to measure the "blood glucose spectrum" throughout the day, including fasting (or before three meals), after three meals, before bedtime and at 3 a.m. In addition, increase the frequency of self-testing before exercising, after hypoglycemia is suspected, after hypoglycemia** is normal, when lifestyle habits change (such as business trips, banquets, etc.), or when there is a physical condition (insomnia, cold, angina, pregnancy, etc.).

If your blood sugar is well controlled or stable, you can choose one day a week to check your fasting and postprandial blood sugar. People with good and stable glycemic control may be monitored less often.

Patients with poor or unstable glycemic control and those with other acute illnesses should be monitored daily until glycemic control is well controlled.

For the monitoring of blood glucose, diabetic patients usually carry out routine blood glucose measurement, which can measure fasting blood glucose, blood glucose 2 hours after three meals and blood glucose before bed according to the actual situation; It is usually done weekly, and the frequency depends on blood sugar satisfaction. For patients with diabetes who are taking oral antihyperglycemic drugs, if glycemic control with oral hypoglycemic drugs is still not satisfactory, a change in monitoring methods is required. Specifically, 2 weeks before the drug dose is adjusted, the daily cramp should be measured continuously for 3 days, 2 hours after three meals, and 22 at bedtime 2 weeks before the drug dose is adjusted

00 blood sugar level in order to understand the control of blood sugar at different times, adjust and determine the appropriate drug dose.

Through strict diabetic diet and regular medication on time, diabetic patients will usually reach the blood sugar target, and the time of monitoring can be appropriately reduced after that, specifically 1 day per week, blood sugar can be measured before bedtime and 2 hours after breakfast. In patients taking insulin, monitoring should be relatively frequent, with fasting blood glucose in the morning, blood glucose before and 2 hours after meals, and blood glucose at bedtime. In order to adjust the amount of insulin, and at the same time pay attention to prevent hypoglycemia.

Some diabetic patients often have large blood sugar fluctuations or other diseases, so the number of blood glucose measurements should be increased appropriately; When the patient's blood glucose is stable, the number of measurements can be reduced as appropriate. Monitoring blood sugar is important for diabetes**. The timing of the measurement also varies from person to person.

Generally speaking, diabetics can choose the following representative time points, which can better reflect the blood sugar changes throughout the day.

1. Fasting blood glucose. Generally, 6-8 o'clock in the morning is selected for inspection. The test is performed at this time to reflect the basal level of insulin secreted by the patient's own pancreatic islet cells in the absence of a glucose load, and to reflect the blood glucose control of the previous night's medication throughout the night.

Fasting blood glucose control is critical for patients who have been using hypoglycemic drugs for a long time. 2. Preprandial fasting blood glucose. Measure before lunch or dinner.

It can usually be used as a basis for evaluating the condition and adjusting the dose of the drug in **. 3. Blood sugar 2 hours after breakfast. Blood sugar is measured 2 hours after the patient eats the first bite of food.

It mainly reflects the ability of pancreatic islet cells to secrete insulin after meals, as well as the combined effect of diet combined with drugs**. 4. Blood sugar at around 22:00 before bedtime.

Measuring blood glucose before bedtime can guide the dose of medication at night and avoid nocturnal hypoglycemia.

It is necessary for diabetics to self-monitor their blood sugar. Monitor blood glucose levels at least 4 times a day during type 1 diabetes intensification** and eight times a day before 3 meals, after 3 meals, before bedtime, and at 3:00 a.m. when blood sugar is unstable.

Patients with type 2 diabetes can appropriately reduce the frequency of self-monitoring of blood sugar under the premise of stable blood sugar control, and can appropriately detect random blood sugar to determine the level of blood sugar.

Self-measurement can be performed with a home-owned blood glucose meter. Fasting blood glucose measurement is required to be measured after 8 hours of fasting, so the best time to measure it is early in the morning when fasting. Fasting blood glucose measurements must be analyzed in conjunction with other measurements to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes.

If the fasting blood sugar is abnormal in the home self-test, you should immediately go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, which is very important for early detection and diabetes.

Venous blood is drawn to measure blood glucose. It can only be performed in hospitals or outpatient departments, and generally cannot be detected immediately, so it is not suitable for regular blood glucose monitoring and self-blood glucose monitoring. However, to make a definitive diagnosis of diabetes, it must be based on venous blood glucose; In addition, diabetic patients who do self-monitoring of blood glucose sometimes need to go to the hospital regularly to check their blood sugar in order to know whether their blood glucose meter is accurate.

A rapid blood glucose meter measures blood glucose. The blood glucose meter can be carried with you and you can quickly measure your blood sugar by taking a drop of blood from your finger. The operation is simple and easy, and patients can check their blood sugar anytime, anywhere, so that they can know their condition in a timely manner.

However, it should be noted that the blood glucose value measured by the blood glucose meter is generally about 10% lower than that measured by venous blood draw. At present, the blood glucose meter on the market** is generally about 1,000 yuan, and the corresponding blood glucose test strip is about 5 yuan each. If the patient's financial means allow, this method of self-glucose monitoring is appropriate.

Blood glucose is measured colorimetrically. It is a test strip that can measure blood glucose without using a monitor, but the results can only be roughly estimated, and the operation method is similar to urine glucose measurement. At present, with the advent of rapid blood glucose meters, this method of blood glucose measurement has gradually been eliminated.

A diabetic patient not only needs to know the changes in his blood glucose curve, but also needs to grasp the development speed of complications and clinical conditions, as well as the knowledge of monitoring and taking medication. It can be said that there are few diseases that require so much knowledge and skills from patients. Because of this, many diabetic patients, and even some old patients, often make some empirical mistakes.

Yang Jie, director of the Third Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps, told diabetic patients that stem cells have a remarkable effect on diabetes, and only by avoiding these misunderstandings can it help control the disease. Myth 1: Lack of comprehensive monitoring Wrong view:

Myth 2: Wrong monitoring method Wrong view: Daily blood glucose monitoring is irregular, arbitrary, or slag imitation orange is not clear about how to monitor.

Doctor's interpretation: Some patients do not pay attention to the method of monitoring blood sugar, either do not check for a long time, or check when they are free, which is actually allowing the disease to develop. Blood glucose monitoring needs to be done regularly or regularly.

Immediate monitoring is only used when you eat a new food and do not know how it affects your blood sugar, or if you feel unwell and suspect that your blood sugar is too low or too high. Otherwise, it is necessary to adhere to the previous method of monitoring. Myth 3:

Missing important indicators Myth: Focus on fasting blood glucose and ignore postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Doctor's interpretation:

Chinese diet has more carbohydrates, which can easily lead to postprandial blood sugar increases, and glycosylated hemoglobin can accurately reflect the blood sugar change process over a period of time. If these two important indicators are missed, it is impossible to accurately judge the condition. Yang Jie, director of the Diabetes **** Center of the Third Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps, suggested that patients check their blood sugar once a month for 2 consecutive days; Tests are done 4 times a day to adjust hypoglycemic medications and dietary habits.

Blood glucose was fasted in the morning, 2 hours after breakfast, 2 hours after lunch, and 2 hours after dinner. In this Armed Police Corps Beijing Third Hospital Diabetes Center Director Yang Jie to introduce stem cells, stem cells are a kind of self-replication ability of multipotent cells, under certain conditions, it can be differentiated into a variety of functional cells, so stem cells can be used for a variety of cell damage diseases, diabetes is a good example, due to the secretion of insulin residue of pancreatic islet cells damaged, so the amount of insulin secretion is insufficient, blood sugar continues to rise, and the condition is not controlled in the long run, If the mass is formed, the whole body will be dysfunctional, and various complications will follow. Stem cells can repair damaged pancreatic islet cells, restore islet function, make them secrete insulin normally, and then **diabetes.
