Diabetes is a progressive disease. Progressive disease means that the condition will gradually get worse. If the pre-diabetes is not intervened, once it develops to the middle or late stage, it is incurable with current medical technology.
Early: when diabetes is first diagnosed
Early stage: blood sugar has been abnormal, but it has not reached the standard for diagnosing diabetes
These two periods are the best period for the cure of diabetes. Therefore, seizing the opportunity is critical to curing diabetes.
How to grasp it? Simply put, it is to discover the "growth trajectory" of diabetes as soon as possible.
Seize the time to cure diabetes
Adults (more than 18 years old) who meet any one or more of the following conditions are defined as adults who have the potential to get diabetes easily and are genetically susceptible to diabetes (medically called diabetes high-risk groups):
· Over 40 years old
· Overweight
· Work is based on a sedentary lifestyle
· A history of diabetes in relatives
· History of birth of a giant baby or history of gestational diabetes
· History of hypertension or dyslipidemia
· Long-term use of antipsychotics or antidepressants, etc.
All adults 40 years of age or older should be screened for diabetes. For children and adolescents at high risk of diabetes, screening should start at the age of 10. And if it is normal for the first time, it needs to be re-screened every 3 years.
If you find abnormal blood sugar, you need to act immediately to improve the diet and exercise appropriate daily to control sugar. If the method is reasonable and persisted for a long time, it can effectively prevent or slow down the occurrence of diabetes. This is one of the best times to cure diabetes.
The second best period for healing is: on the premise that there are no uncomfortable symptoms, the physical examination finds that blood sugar is elevated (blood sugar includes fasting and blood sugar after meals, do not ignore blood sugar after meals); or have thirst, drink If you have symptoms such as excessive water, urination, weight loss, etc., you need to see a doctor in time and be diagnosed as diabetes by a doctor. Don‘t doubt and resist, this is also the best time to cure diabetes, and you must not miss it.
Perseverance, gold and stone can be pierced
Eat a reasonable diet and exercise moderately
To put it simply is to "keep your mouth shut and open your legs." It is important for people who are overweight and obese to lose weight. Everyone knows these principles, but it is very difficult to actually implement them.
It is very important to control the intake of the diet reasonably. It is necessary to ensure that the daily physiological needs and calories cannot exceed the standard.
Exercise always uses no time as an excuse. In fact, time is squeezed out. It is enough to achieve the amount and intensity of exercise every day.
Choose a treatment plan
Treating diabetes with "one plan, three steps" method is simple, easy, reasonable and effective.
In the past, it was believed that life intervention can be used as a separate treatment to treat early diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. Practice has proved that the blood sugar of most patients is not up to the ideal target.
Therefore, a "three-step plan" method is proposed, that is, early medication, early combination, and early use of insulin with the cooperation of life intervention.
The first step: life intervention + metformin. The blood glucose level did not reach the target for three months, and the transition to the next step.
Step 2: There are three combinations, metformin + sulfonylurea, metformin + basal insulin, and metformin + rosiglitazone. Three months later, the blood sugar is still not ideal, and the transition to the third step.
The third step: on the basis of the above treatment, change the basic insulin treatment to intensive treatment (the specific medication treatment can be discussed with the attending doctor).
There is also an auxiliary surgical treatment method: gastric bypass surgery, which can make the stomach smaller, is mainly used for severely obese or obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
At present, this kind of surgery has a good clinical effect. Some patients‘ diabetes will get better, and they can even control blood sugar stably without using hypoglycemic drugs. Therefore, some medicines at home and abroad are gradually carrying out this kind of surgery.
Of course, this type of surgery is also "cure the root but not the root cause", and a healthy lifestyle after surgery is still necessary.
Strictly prevent diabetes from making a comeback
Cure diabetes is the method of pre-diabetes or diabetes patients who only rely on diet and exercise, without taking drugs or insulin, blood sugar is still within the normal range.
If you are in the "diabetes cure period", you can‘t relax, the current medical methods cannot change the internal factors of our body. Therefore, this cure for diabetes can only be called a "clinical cure" in the strict sense. There may be a certain gap between this and the cure that everyone thinks.
Therefore, we should not take it lightly at this time. We should still pay attention to our lifestyle, stick to a healthy diet, ensure a certain amount of exercise, and try our best to keep this "healing period" as long as possible.
