One person dies every 7 seconds from diabetes, with blood sugar above 6.1.

Chinese has a deep connection to diabetes Thirsty, often referred to as diabetes, was first seen in the Yellow Emperor's Book "Su-Chi Chi" on the thirst is described as follows: this person must eat sweet beauty and fat also, fat people make people hot, ganache is full, so its gas overflow, turn to thirst. As early as the Warring States period, Chinese knew that diabetes is closely related to diet and exercise Sadly, acquaintance very early but evolved into today's "love and kill." According to statistics, there are about 382 million people with diabetes worldwide, China accounts for one-third (about 114 million), and 140 million people in China are prediabetes. Tomorrow is the 9th United Nations Diabetes Day Xiao Haipeng, president of the First Hospital affiliated with Zhongshan University and chief expert of endocrinology, reminded that although the prediabetes population did not develop into diabetes, but sugar regulation has been abnormal, not early intervention is easy to progress into diabetes, if early start to control the mouth, open legs, can be successfully reversed. Surprised! According to IDF, half of people with diabetes do not know they have a disease, with one person dying of diabetes every seven seconds, 80 per cent of people with diabetes coming from low- and middle-income countries, and nearly half (46 per cent) undiagnosed. Because people with diabetes can survive for years without any symptoms, many patients are unaware of abnormal blood sugar However, no symptoms does not mean no harm During this period, high blood sugar will always invisible "attack" the body, and even lead to blindness, kidney disease, coronary heart disease and other complications There are also many patients in the clinical complications, only to detect diabetes. Therefore, it is important to screen for "out" diabetes in a timely manner Xiao Haipeng pointed out that there are currently three main methods for screening for diabetes, including fasting blood glucose test, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and glycation hemoglobin assays Adults over 18 years of age who have more than one risk factor should be screened early. Diabetes risk factors Xiao Haipeng reminded that children with increasing diabetes, parents if they find that children are fat, there are more than 2 risk factors, should be promptly screened. Blood sugar 7.0 does not mean that everything 1/3 sugar tolerance is only 20 or 30 years old Many people think that fasting blood sugar below 7 mmol/L, two hours after meals blood sugar below 11.1 mmol /L is very "safe", in fact, not. Sugar Metabolism Classification As shown above, there is a "grey area" between normal blood sugar and diabetes, often referred to as prediabetes Prediabetes is divided into fasting blood sugar damage and reduced sugar tolerance. According to statistics, about 316 million people in the world have reduced their sugar tolerance, most of the reduced sugar tolerance of adults under 50 years of age, almost a third of the reduced sugar tolerance of the population between 20 and 39 years of age If left untreated, these people have a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, accidentally entering the diabetes army and living with diabetes for life. Fortunately, prediabetes can be reversed There is ample evidence that lifestyle interventions (healthy eating and physical activity) can reduce the incidence of diabetes in the long term and lastingly A 15-year follow-up study by the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPPOS) showed that both enhanced lifestyle interventions and metformin can reduce the incidence of diabetes in the long term, and that enhanced life interventions can also effectively reduce the incidence of microvascular complications in women, and the incidence of microvascular complications in patients who did not progress to diabetes decreased by 28%. Xiao Haipeng pointed out that whether you have or will suffer from diabetes, control mouth, leg is a powerful "weapon" to improve the disease, especially diet control, the total calories must be good, as far as possible to choose low sugar index of food, develop good diet, exercise habits (Communicator: Li Shaobing Peng Fuxiang)
