Sick people tend to have psychological burdens, so they are more likely to have psychological problems than the average person. These psychological problems are like a shadow that hangs over the patient's mind, and they can also cause some psychological misunderstandings in the patient. These psychological problems are like a hindrance to the patient's resistance to the disease. "Invisible tentacles" make sugar control even more difficult.
Shadow - Denial of the fact of illness
With the onset of diabetes at a younger age, many young people have unfortunately joined the ranks of diabetes. At a very young age, they were diagnosed with a disease that originally only affected the elderly. These young people often experience denial when they first get sick.
Diabetes is not like an acute disease such as a cold or acute gastroenteritis. You only need to take some medicine and rest for a few days and you will be better. Diabetes is still an incurable disease and will be with you for life. This is the reason why many people have a denial mentality. He is now a patient and will no longer live a normal life like a healthy person.
Many patients will have such psychological shadows in the early stages of the disease. In fact, diabetes is a lifestyle disease. Some bad lifestyles, such as unhealthy diet, staying up late, smoking, not exercising, and high psychological stress, etc., can induce diabetes. As long as you In the future, if you maintain a good lifestyle and stabilize your blood sugar, you can enjoy a good life.
Shadow - loss of confidence in life
After many patients gradually accept the fact that they are sick, they still find it difficult to think about it. They need to take hypoglycemic drugs and insulin every day, and have to test their blood sugar frequently. Over time, they will easily become bored and lose confidence in life. In fact, this is something that diabetics have to face compared to ordinary people.
In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you will find that there are many diabetic patients in your life. Some patients have good blood sugar control, while others have very poor blood sugar control. Comparing with these patients with poor blood sugar control will give you comfort. Of course, this comparison does not make you feel "superior", but makes you understand that your situation is not the worst. At the same time, we must follow the example of people with good blood sugar control. Examples are very powerful. We learn diabetes knowledge, exercise together with them, and discuss diabetes treatment methods together. As time goes by, you may find that your blood sugar is better controlled than before and you take less medicine than before. This will rekindle your hope in life.
Misunderstanding - Ignoring the psychological impact on blood sugar
If we compare the work of reducing blood sugar to studying, there will always be students who love to study and students who don’t like to study in school. However, not all students who love to study will have ideal test scores. In fact, this is the same as controlling blood sugar for diabetics. The truth is, although some people with diabetes strictly follow doctor's instructions and take medicine on time, their blood sugar is still high. This is just like students who love to study but have unsatisfactory grades and ignore learning methods. Diabetics may also ignore an important aspect that affects blood sugar, which is psychological factors.
Some people with diabetes have psychological concerns and are always worried that diabetes will cause some troubles in life. For example, they are afraid that others will know that they are sick and they will be looked at differently. Some people are worried that they will one day develop complications of diabetes and worry all day long. Patients with poor financial conditions are also worried about the burden on their families caused by their illness... Psychological stress can aggravate endocrine disorders and neurological dysfunction in diabetic patients, leading to blood sugar fluctuations. Therefore, if you currently have a psychological disorder, in order to control your blood sugar, for your physical health, and to save treatment costs, you should receive psychological counseling in a timely manner and receive psychological treatment if necessary.
Correct - look at the disease in all aspects
Although everyone does not want to get sick, "birth", "aging", "sickness" and "death" are inevitable for everyone. If you are a diabetic patient, please do not view it negatively. You must learn to view the disease in an all-round way. First of all, diabetes is not like cancer. If it is not discovered in time, it may kill you in a short period of time. Secondly, diabetes is a lifestyle disease. After you have diabetes, you will pay more attention to your lifestyle. A good lifestyle can make you live healthier and avoid other lifestyle diseases. Thirdly, there are many diabetes group activities now. If you participate more in these activities, you will get to know many patients with similar conditions to you. You will never tire of having friends who meet you, and you will chat with close friends. In this way, you will make more friends and your life will be better. Be more fun.
a moment of relaxation
No diabetes at all
A man went to the doctor and the doctor ordered him to check his urine. The man then brought a large bottle full of urine from home. After the doctor checked, he wrote "nothing abnormal". When he got home, he excitedly announced to the whole family: "I don't have diabetes, and neither do you. My father, my mother, and my children don't have it either."
