What do you know about diabetes? What is diabetes?

1. Diabetes mellitus is a very complex disease.

1) **Unknown.

2) Diverse clinical manifestations: polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, edema of hands and feet, or no symptoms at all.

3) The severity of the disease varies: some people are mild, some people are severe.

4) ** The difference is very large: some people can not take medicine, and some people do not control insulin well.

2. Diabetes is a very easy disease to diagnose.

1) Diagnosis is simple and fast.

2) No need for complex instrumentation.

3) There is no need for high diagnostic costs.

3. Diabetes is a lifelong disease.

With the current level of medical care, it can't**. So please don't believe the deception of the doctors.

4. Diabetes mellitus is a systemic disease.

Diabetes can affect all organs and tissues of the body, from head to toe, and cardiovascular problems are the main problems that cause diabetes disability and death, so please control your blood sugar and stay away from the complications of diabetes.

Diabetes is a common and frequent disease in China, and its incidence is about 10%, diabetes is a lifelong disease, divided into type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and other types of diabetes. Diabetic patients need to check the items when the blood sugar is well controlled, you can check the fasting blood glucose of fingerstick blood once a week or 2 hours after a meal, check blood pressure once a week, do an electrocardiogram once a month, check glycosylated hemoglobin once every 4 months, check biochemistry once every 6 months, including liver function, kidney function, blood lipids, uric acid, creatine, creatinine, etc., check the fundus once every 6 months to understand whether there is diabetic retinopathy, have a dilated fundus check once a year, and learn to feel the dorsalis pedis artery to understand the blood of the lower limbs** situation.

1. Genetic factors. Genetic factors play an important role in the onset of type 1 diabetes, and more than 50 genetic variants have been found to be associated with genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. The development of type 2 diabetes is also associated with genetic factors, and more than 400 genetic variants have been found to be associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes or hyperglycemia.

2. Environmental factors. Viral infections such as rubella virus, mumps virus, etc., may be one of the environmental causes of type 1 diabetes, and some viruses can directly damage pancreatic islet cells and start an autoimmune response to further damage pancreatic islet cells. It is especially important in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes, such as aging, lifestyle, nutritional intake, insufficient exercise, etc., and the most important environmental factor is a bad lifestyle.

3. Deficiency of the autoimmune system. The immune system attacks the insulin-producing islet cells, resulting in a decrease in islet cells and ultimately a decrease or deficiency in insulin secretion.

**Methods: 1. Oral insulin secretion. Promote insulin secretion, mainly including sulfonylureas and meglitinides, sulfonylureas can control blood sugar by promoting the secretion of insulin by pancreatic islet cells, improper use can lead to hypoglycemia, and may also cause weight gain.

2. Oral medicine. These include metformin, thiazolidinediones, and -glucosidase inhibitors. Metformin has a significant hypoglycemic effect on diabetic patients, does not affect insulin secretion, has a mild weight loss effect, can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death, and prevent the development of prediabetes into diabetes.

3. Exercise**. It is important for people with type 2 diabetes and should be done under the guidance of a doctor, and two hours of moderate-intensity exercise per week is recommended.

To beat diabetes, you must first understand diabetes. Because diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease, it means that once you have diabetes, you should pay attention to it every day of your life. With the current medical level at home and abroad, although diabetes cannot be achieved, as long as it is detected as soon as possible and seriously, the disease can be completely controlled, and the blood sugar can be controlled in the best state as much as possible, so as to reduce the occurrence and development of complications, and maintain normal weight, physical strength, work, life and prolong life.

Therefore, it can be considered that diabetes is a disease that can be controlled and controlled.

The purpose of diabetes** is to control the condition, specifically to lower blood sugar, control blood sugar in a near-normal range, correct various symptoms caused by metabolic abnormalities in the body, maintain normal development and physical strength, reduce complications, and enable diabetic patients to live a normal life. To achieve this, it is important for patients and their families to actively cooperate**. Only by learning the basic knowledge of diabetes, mastering the characteristics and laws of diabetes, understanding the importance of active prevention and treatment of diabetes, and understanding the harm of not persisting, can we consciously cooperate with doctors.

Diabetics should not believe deceptive claims such as "**diabetes" and "oral medicine instead of insulin". Drugs that have not been approved by the state should not be taken lightly, otherwise you will be deceived, not only will you suffer financial losses, but also may be delayed**. For the methods and drugs that can be "** diabetes" promoted by some enterprises and individual hospitals, the opinions of endocrinologists in hospitals above the provincial level should be sought to judge whether they are true and effective, and to avoid economic waste and delay.

Diabetic people with diabetes, it is inevitable to have a negative mentality, diabetes experts recommend that diabetic people, once diagnosed with diabetes, do not be discouraged, active prevention of diabetes complications is the key, diabetics can be conditioned for diabetes according to the doctor's advice, experts say: Diabetics have a correct understanding of diabetes is very important, diabetes to understand the relevant diabetes common sense is what diabetics need to know.

Experts say that the premise of diabetes is to clearly know what diabetic complications are in diabetic patients, and common diabetic complications are: diabetic eye disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic foot disease, diabetic cardiovascular disease, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic sexual dysfunction, in addition, diabetic patients may have symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

Blood glucose monitoring in diabetic patients consists of two components, fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. The fasting blood glucose is normal, and the glycemic index should be less than . The glycemic index should be lower than the normal blood glucose value two hours after a meal. If the detected data is outside the above range, it is considered high blood glucose.

The common ways of diabetes include diabetes diet, diabetes drugs, insulin, hypoglycemic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine, and psychology.

Medications for diabetes**, generally sulfonylureas, biguanides, glucosidase inhibitors, insulin sensitizers, and meglitinide insulin secretagogues. However, there is a difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes needs to pass insulin**, while type 2 diabetes first takes oral hypoglycemic drugs, and if there is no effect, a combination of ** is used.
