Do you know what 4 misunderstandings to avoid when using drugs for diabetic patients?

Combination of pain drugs should be avoided, as the combination of drugs will increase the amount of drugs. Rush to lower blood sugar and take a large amount of medication. In a hurry, frequent dressing changes. There is also drug dependence and neglect of non-drugs**.

Do not eat candy while taking medication. The medicine must be soaked in warm water, and do not mix Chinese medicine with Western medicine. Be sure to eat before taking your medicine.

Many diabetic patients only take medication without controlling their diet, change drugs for a long time, and usually ignore as long as their blood sugar is not high, and they will feel insulin dependent.

Diabetic patients have several major misconceptions about medication:

1.When you see what medicine others take, you should take it yourself. Diabetes mellitus is different from other diseases, according to the patient's body type, hyperglycemia type, whether there are other diseases and age, etc., type 1 diabetes can only use insulin plus metformin, -glycosidase inhibitors, while type 2 diabetes can choose different types of hypoglycemic drugs, different patients use different drugs.

2.Blindly superstitious imported medicines, expensive medicines, and new medicines. In fact, there is no good or bad medicine for diabetes, only suitable and unsuitable.

3.Fearing that metformin will hurt the kidneys, they refuse to take it, and metformin does not cause any damage to patients with good kidney function.

4.Some patients do not take their drugs on time and take them when they want to, resulting in poor blood sugar control.

5.Many patients forget to take the medicine after taking it, and many patients forget to take the medicine when they should take it, and then make up it afterwards, which is easy to cause blood sugar fluctuations.

6.When taking hypoglycemic drugs, only follow the doctor's instructions and never read the instructions, because the situation of each patient is different, and the patient should still read the instructions by himself after getting the drug to avoid adverse reactions.

Taking hypoglycemic drugs is one of the most diabetic methods, and for many diabetic patients, lifelong medication means lifelong medication, which is enough to show the importance of taking medication correctly. Next, let's take a look at what diabetic patients need to pay attention to when taking hypoglycemic drugs.

1. Don't use too many hypoglycemic drugs

In order to better control their blood sugar, some diabetic patients will choose to take several hypoglycemic drugs at the same time, which is incorrect. First of all, different hypoglycemic drugs sometimes interact with each other, which affects the efficacy of the drug or produces some other drugs. Secondly, it is a three-part poison, and taking too much medicine will affect the health of the kidneys and liver.

Thirdly, if there are too many types of hypoglycemic drugs, it is easy to get confused, which is not good for blood sugar control.

2. Don't always change hypoglycemic drugs

There are many types of hypoglycemic drugs, and you should follow the guidance and advice of your doctor when choosing hypoglycemic drugs. Some hypoglycemic drugs are suitable for others, but they may not be suitable for yourself, do not think that others use a hypoglycemic drug, the effect is very good, and you can use it yourself. Always changing hypoglycemic drugs will cause large fluctuations in blood sugar, and this should be avoided when taking medication.

3. Take medication on time

If you want to make the best effect of hypoglycemic drugs and keep your blood sugar in a stable state, you must take medicine on time and in accordance with the amount, which is the most important thing that every diabetic patient who has passed the drug ** needs to do. Different types of sugar-added drugs, the time of taking medicine is different, some need to be taken before meals, some need to be taken after meals, before taking drugs, you must understand clearly in advance, and take medicine at the right time. If you accidentally miss a hypoglycemic drug, don't blindly make up for it at this time, and ask the doctor what to do.

4. Take the medicine according to the amount

When taking medication, do not adjust the dosage of the medication without permission. Some people feel that their symptoms are mild and reduce the dose of medication. Some patients accidentally do things they shouldn't do in their lives, causing their blood sugar to rise, so they increase the dose of their medication without permission.

Both of these behaviors are incorrect, and if you take too much of the drug, it will produce a certain amount of ***, which will harm the kidneys and liver health. If you take too little, it will not achieve the effect of controlling blood sugar and raise blood sugar.

When diabetic patients take hypoglycemic drugs, they must take the drugs according to the regulations, and do not change the type and dosage of the drugs without permission. The above are the aspects that diabetic patients need to pay attention to when taking medicine, I hope you can keep it in mind and control your blood sugar better.

China is the country with the largest number of diabetic patients in the world, and the data is still growing, so many patients are taking medicine every day to control it, but only one-third of the patients have blood sugar standards, and the remaining two-thirds have more or less medication misunderstandings, which will lead to blood sugar not meeting the standard.

1. Reduce the dosage without authorization. Some sugar friends will listen to rumors, saying that long-term use of hypoglycemic drugs will hurt the internal organs, and the medicine is poisonous, and then they will reduce the amount of medicine privately, and some people even stop the medicine altogether. In fact, this is a very wrong decision, the hypoglycemic drugs that the doctor asked you to take, that are all on the basis of ensuring safety, although there is a little ***, but it is nothing compared to the complications caused by elevated blood sugar.

And if you wait until the condition is very serious before you start eating, then the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Therefore, this medicine must be taken regularly and quantitatively according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Completely dependent on drugs and not paying attention to dietary rules. Diabetes is a comprehensive one, and it is necessary to eat a healthy diet with reasonable exercise, and then cooperate with hypoglycemic drugs to achieve the real effect, which is indispensable. Then some people think that they have taken hypoglycemic drugs, so they start to overeat in terms of diet, which does not achieve a good effect.

Therefore, sugar friends must remember the rules of diet at any time, and a healthy diet is the root of diabetes, otherwise it is useless to take the best medicine.

3. Intermittent medication. This may be the experience of most patients, the doctor prescribes a bunch of drugs to you, at first you are also very cautious, according to the doctor's instructions, but after a period of time, you find that the blood sugar is well controlled, and then start to stop the drug, or reduce the dosage, as a result, not long after, the blood sugar rises again, and then continue to take it, so the cycle, in fact, can not achieve a good effect, but will increase the fluctuation of blood sugar, accelerate the occurrence of complications.

4. Blindly follow the trend of drugs with good curative effects. If a person is sick, he will start to rush to the doctor, and as long as he hears that there is a good medicine, he will buy it. In fact, all the hypoglycemic drugs on the market are the same, there is no good or bad, and the main thing about taking medicine is to suit yourself is the best.

If others eat well, you don't necessarily eat well, so don't blindly follow the trend.

Many people think that insulin should not be used if the blood sugar is high, and that insulin dependence will occur, but this statement is wrong.

Diabetics generally take medication before meals and should not be taken with other health supplements.

Diabetics must not think that they have taken medicine and can not pay attention to their diet.

Some diabetic patients use a lot of insulin at the onset of the disease, which is actually a medication misunderstanding.

Diabetic patients should not take health products when taking medication, because they do not know whether the ingredients of health products conflict with the drugs used.

Insulin injections must be given at regular intervals and should not be overdosed.

Diabetic patients must follow the doctor's instructions when taking medication and do not change the dosage without authorization.

Diabetics must take insulin in the later stages.

With the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increasing year by year, the situation of diabetes prevention and control in China is very severe. In the continuous progression of T2DM, most patients need to use a combination of drugs to achieve glycemic control, and most patients with T2DM are middle-aged and elderly, often with other diseases such as cardiovascular disease and infection. In other words, the combination of drugs for T2DM patients is not only limited to hypoglycemic drugs, but also includes antihypertensive drugs, lipid-regulating drugs, antiplatelet drugs, and even other drugs such as antibiotics.

Therefore, clinicians need to pay attention to the interaction between drugs while controlling sugar.

The dangers of drug interactions should not be underestimated.

Drug-drug interaction (DDI) refers to the phenomenon that when two or more drugs are used simultaneously or sequentially, the magnitude, duration and even nature of the action of one drug are significantly changed or adverse drug reactions are produced by other drugs or chemicals1. The incidence of DDI increases with the variety of drugs used, such as about 4% when 2-5 drugs are taken at the same time; When 6-10 medications are taken at the same time, the incidence is as high as 20%2. At present, there are many types of hypoglycemic drugs commonly used in clinical practice, and the metabolic pathways of these drugs in the body are different, and the mechanism of action is also different, which will cause unique interactions when combined with other drugs.

Based on the effect on the ** effect, DDI can be classified as beneficial and harmful. Moderate enhancement of ** effects or lessening adverse effects are beneficial, and vice versa is a harmful interaction3, e.g., hypoglycaemic events have been reported when hypoglycemic drugs are combined with quinolone antibiotics4.

In addition, special attention should be paid to those at high risk of developing DDI, such as those requiring long-term drug maintenance** (arrhythmias, epilepsy), patients with organ insufficiency or failure (hepatic and renal insufficiency, congestive heart failure), or older patients with multiple chronic diseases2.
