Xu Huiheng emphasized that hypoglycemia is difficult to detect. A survey of more than 200 diabetic patients in China found that as many as 80% of diabetics had suspected symptoms of hypoglycemia, and 40% of them did not realize that they had hypoglycemia. Hunger, dizziness, etc., and even loss of consciousness in severe cases. He said that if a family member is found to have symptoms of hypoglycemia, he can immediately give the patient sugary foods such as candies and sugar packets to balance the blood sugar level. (Who caused hypoglycemia?)
The so-called hypoglycemia means that the blood sugar level is lower than 70mg/dl. Symptoms include hunger, dizziness, weakness, trembling, and cold sweat. In severe cases, it can lead to coma and damage to organs. In addition, because hypoglycemia can cause palpitations and increase the frequency of heart contractions, it will also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. (Western medicine used to believe that high blood sugar can cause heart disease, but now it also believes that low blood sugar can also cause heart disease. How should this be done?)
Cai Shize emphasized that hypoglycemia is most likely to occur in patients over 60 years old suffering from type 2 diabetes, because most of them have a medical history of more than ten years and are caused by taking too many hypoglycemic drugs. He believes that blood sugar control must be controlled in moderation. It is different from blood lipids and blood pressure, and the lower the better. At present, the American Diabetes Association proposes different treatment plans for the blood sugar control of diabetic patients according to the individual health status.
"Tailor-made treatment plans for diabetic patients have become a global trend," said Cai Shize. He said that foreign countries suggest that patients with any of the following risk factors should be given personalized treatment by doctors to prevent accidents that may be caused by hypoglycemia. One is over 60 years old; the other is suffering from cardiovascular disease; the third is a patient who is trying to actively control blood sugar, but the blood sugar is still stable. As long as there is any of the above conditions, the doctor will tailor a blood sugar control plan for the patient. (Seems like a good idea, but is it really doable?)
Xu Huiheng also believes that most of the patients suffering from diabetes in China are over 60 years old, and most of them suffer from cardiovascular, hypertension and other diseases at the same time. If the traditional treatment mode is followed, the blood sugar of the patients will be reduced to too low, which will lead to the risk of hypoglycemia . He called on diabetic patients to be vigilant, monitor their blood sugar regularly, exercise regularly, follow the diet plan, and return to the hospital on time to avoid accidents. (Why not say that patients should be advised to go to Chinese medicine for treatment?)
blood sugar control records
Physician You Nengjun, who promotes joint diabetes care in Yilan, said that helping diabetics to control blood sugar cannot rely solely on doctors and drugs, but must be done by doctors, nurses, and health teachers to control the patient's blood sugar in an optimal state. . (Is there a need for such trouble?)
Mr. Wei, who is 83 years old this year, has a history of diabetes for 18 years. He didn't know how to control his blood sugar. After the explanation by the medical staff, Mr. Wei followed the doctor's advice, tested his blood sugar and diet every day, recorded it in the notebook, and gave it to the doctor for reference when he returned to the clinic. (Is this a good start? Or is it the beginning of a nightmare? Western medicine only focuses on control and never thinks that diabetes can be cured.)
After several months of follow-up treatment, Mr. Wei's blood sugar is under good control. "I now ride a motorcycle to the beach to fish every day, and my eyes and kidneys have not suffered from any disease." Mr. Wei, who speaks Taiwanese, is very happy. Said proudly. You Junneng said that the condition of diabetes is more complicated than other chronic diseases. Patients need a lot of patience and perseverance to control blood sugar in the most stable state. (How long can it be controlled? This is only a temporary effect, not a permanent effect.)
