Diabetes is getting younger, metformin helps you control sugar!

Speaking of diabetes, I believe everyone is familiar with it, because the people recruited in our country——

There are so many! ! !

According to the data released by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2021, among the 537 million adult diabetic patients in the world, China alone occupies 141 million, accounting for about 26%, and is the country with the largest number of diabetic patients in the world [

According to the latest national epidemiological survey report on the prevalence of diabetes in the Chinese population published in the British Medical Journal in April 2020, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes among people aged 18 to 29 in China has reached

The above data are all alarming to us: diabetes has become a common disease that endangers human health, and the problem of its younger age has become more and more common, and it is urgent for young people to take it seriously!

Why is diabetes younger?

In recent years, cases of diabetes among young people in my country are not uncomm.

A 22-year-old college student in Zhejiang Province suddenly felt dark in his right eye while writing his graduation thes.

It caused many netizens to sigh for a whi.

Many young people may wonder: I have only just finished the Youth Day, why do I get diabetes as a disease of old age?

Excluding congenital genetic factors, in the final analysis, it has a lot to do with their daily life and rest habits——

Eat more, move less

Many young people usually have poor self-discipline, and they eat and drink if they disagr.

High pressure, long-term mental stress

Today, the younger generation faces a variety of pressur.

Often staying up late, irregular work and rest

Some young people are fond of staying up late, the more excited they are, the less sleepy they a.

Young people do not want to get diabetes at a young age, so they must stay away from bad habi.

Diagnosed with diabetes, how should I treat it?

When many young people find out that their blood sugar is abnormal through physical examination, blood sugar measurement, e.

Pre-diabetes

If you are only in prediabetes and have impaired blood sugar regulation, but you have not been diagnosed with diabetes, the key to treatment is life>

Dietary intervention : Control the total calorie intake, and the calorie intake is based on achieving or maintaining ideal body weig.

Exercise intervention : When exercising, the type of exercise is mainly aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, rowing, aerobic gymnastics, ball games, Tai Chi, e.

Diagnosed with diabetes

Once diabetes is diagnosed, doctors usually recommend medication to treat .

For drugs, many young diabetics may be confused: There are so many hypoglycemic drugs on the market, how should I choose?

In recent years, despite the emergence of new anti-diabetic drugs, the classic old drug metformin is still the first choice for many patients with type 2 diabet.

Among the drugs for the treatment of diabetes, metformin can be described as a "big brothe.

However, it should be reminded that the use of metformin is also very particul.

Start with a small dose, gradually increase the dose, and pay attention to taking it with or after meals to reduce the occurrence and degree of gastrointestinal adverse reactions [

Since renal insufficiency will affect the metabolism of metformin and increase the risk of lactic acidosis, the liver and kidney functions should also be monitored regularly when taking the drug [

There are individual differences in the applicable dose of metformin, and it must be used under the guidance of a doctor, and the dose of metformin should not be adjusted arbitrarily [

Since metformin may affect the absorption of vitamin B12 and folic acid, if you need to take metformin for a long time, you can take some vitamin B12 under the advice of your doctor, but you should take it according to the prescribed dose [

As the so-called "medicine is three-point poison", many sugar friends who are taking "guanidine" will inevitably worry about——

Will "eating guanidine" often damage the liver and kidneys?

Metformin is not metabolized or degraded by the liver in the body, and it does not require liver detoxificati.

It is excreted from the urine in its original form, and it is quickly cleared without harm to the kidne.

Therefore, young people with diabetes can eat "guanidine" with confiden.

However, diabetic patients with liver and kidney insufficiency need to take medicine under the guidance of a professional doct.

Afraid of gastrointestinal reactions?

In addition, people with diabetes who are sensitive to the stomach and intestines do not need to worry that eating guanidine will cause "injury and injur.

The original metformin sustained-release tablet, as a listed brand in the "2019-2020 Family Standing Drug List" selection activity [7], is slowly released after taking the drug, which can reduce gastrointestinal adverse reactions, and only needs to be taken once a day , convenient and hassle-fr.

Even if the pace of life is fast, there is no need to worry about missing doses, which increases the drug compliance of diabeti.

You may ask, what is the original metformin? In fact, the original metformin is the patented drug of metform.

It is an original hypoglycemic drug that has been approved for marketing after years of rigorous clinical tria.

With the advantages of preparation technology, excipients, and purity, it will produce better absorption rate and fewer adverse reactio.

All in all, diabetes is not terrib.

As long as we keep our mouths shut, open our legs, take the right medicine, and keep our blood sugar under control, we can enjoy the beauty of life normal.
