Blood glucose monitoring is an important part of diabetes management. Whether it is diet control or drug treatment, blood glucose needs to be monitored frequently and regularly. The current emphasis on individualized treatment means that there is no uniform, consistent treatment plan for people with diabetes. If dietary control is not ideal, or the dosage of drugs used is insufficient or the type of drugs is inappropriate, hyperglycemia will not be controlled; conversely, excessive hypoglycemia will occur. Therefore, every diabetic patient must be equipped with a home blood glucose meter and should conduct regular blood glucose monitoring according to his or her specific situation.
Small measures mean big things
1 Provide powerful data Through blood glucose monitoring, provide doctors with strong data support, allowing doctors to adjust your treatment plan in a timely manner, so that diabetes can be ideally controlled and the occurrence of diabetic complications can be reduced.
2. Understand blood sugar changes. Through blood sugar monitoring, you can understand your own blood sugar changes and analyze the reasons, which will help you treat the pattern of blood sugar changes objectively. You will not increase the mental burden due to blood sugar fluctuations and will not give up because you are not satisfied with the treatment.
3. Timely detection of hypoglycemia. Timely detection of hypoglycemia through blood glucose monitoring provides a basis for adjusting diet and medication plans, reduces the risk of hypoglycemia, and helps patients safely and stably reach blood sugar standards. Frequency of blood glucose monitoring The frequency of blood glucose monitoring depends on many factors, including the type of treatment (use of insulin treatment regimen, oral antidiabetic drugs, or lifestyle intervention), the degree of blood glucose control, whether the treatment plan needs to be adjusted during the period, and whether there is Other emergencies and special circumstances. Therefore, the frequency of blood sugar monitoring is different for each diabetic patient. They should work with their doctor to formulate blood sugar control goals and monitoring frequency based on their specific conditions.
Xiaonuo reminds you:
1 Newly diagnosed diabetic patient
2Those who use insulin
3 Gestational diabetes or diabetes combined with pregnancy
4. People with unsatisfactory blood sugar control
5. People with frequent hypoglycemia
6. Those who change medications or adjust doses
7. The following formula to keep your blood sugar control goals in mind when you feel unwell: 2 4 6 8 For patients under 60 years old, the blood sugar control goals should be “2, 4, 6, 8”. 2.4 means two 4s (4.4), which means that fasting blood sugar should be controlled at 4.4-6.0 mmol/L, and postprandial blood sugar should be controlled at 4.4-8.0 mmol/L. For patients who are over 60 years old and have cardiovascular diseases, fasting blood sugar is required to be <7.0 mmol/L, and postprandial blood sugar is <10.0mmol/L. It is important to lower blood sugar steadily and not too sharply. 4 4 5 6 7 8 For young patients, such as those under 40 or 50 years old, the blood sugar control goals can be more stringent. They are "4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8", which means fasting blood sugar It should be controlled at 4.4~5.6mmol/L, and postprandial blood sugar should be controlled at 4.4~7.8 mmol/L. This is a very perfect state.
Don't despair if your blood sugar isn't where it should be. Even if diabetes treatment fails to meet ideal standards, it should not be considered a treatment failure. Any improvement in control indicators will be beneficial to patients and will reduce the risk of complications caused by related risk factors.
