November 14 is UN diabetes day, and this year's theme is "" families with diabetes" ". Speaking of diabetes, we are all familiar with it. The prevalence rate of diabetes in adults over 18 years old in our country is as high as 10.4%. To put it simply, more than 1 in 10 people around you have diabetes. Because diabetes has become a kind of common disease, chronic diseases, many people think don't care, even numb, feel "is not high blood sugar?", but long-term high blood sugar to the destruction of the body has never been stopped, such as myocardial infarction, uremia, cerebral infarction, severe diabetic foot ulcer and so on concurrent disease erosion citizen's body, then bring more burden of medical expenses, lower the quality of life. Recently, Qingdao morning post medical studio interviewed li guangshan, deputy chief physician of endocrinology department of hai ci medical group, and put forward four Suggestions on diabetes treatment and protection from the perspective of TCM health care.

Suggest A

Use the theory of Chinese medicine to understand their own constitution

Although there is no concept of "blood sugar" in Chinese medicine, the classic huangdi neijing, written by li guangshan, recorded the experience of diagnosis and treatment of diabetes more than 2,000 years ago.

Diabetes is roughly equivalent to the "thirst quenching" of Chinese medicine. The description of the causes of diabetes in Chinese medicine can be divided into three aspects, namely "improper diet, unbalanced emotional motivation and excessive labor and desire", which is basically consistent with the view of western medicine. According to the principle of "treatment based on syndrome differentiation", traditional Chinese medicine divides "quenching thirst" into shanxiao, zhongxiao, xiaxiao and different types of syndromes, such as lung heat, stomach heat, kidney Yin deficiency, Yin Yang deficiency and so on, and has different treatment methods for each syndrome type. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to subjective feelings and objective symptoms of patients. The concept of "whole" are the characteristics of TCM treatment, according to the patient's symptoms, and tongue, pulse condition, etc., traditional Chinese medicine can give system, global management, especially for some has appeared syndrome, such as limb numbness, dizziness, headache, chest tightness, insomnia, anxiety, etc., treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (including traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage) are often unexpected effect can be obtained.

The inhabitant of the coastal area especially Qingdao area, the proportion of the seafood in the food is more, nutrition takes in enough, long-term, large amount eats the seafood of high nutrition to produce inside body moisture heat easily, often cause finger eczema, defecate does not form, stick implement, tongue pledges is red, moss is thick etc. And diabetes is exactly what Chinese medicine calls "Yin deficiency and hot", two kinds of "heat" overlap, easy to aggravate the disease, leading to stubborn disease difficult to adjust. "This is not the case with what we often call high humidity. Many people misuse clearing damp foods or drugs, which can actually increase the heat and humidity and make symptoms worse." Li guangshan said that everyone should make use of coix seed and seed in a small amount according to their own physical conditions in the short term, so as to benefit from dampness and heat, but not in the long term.

"Early detection, early treatment, early prevention" is the principle of diabetes prevention. Of traditional Chinese medicine in the symptoms of diabetes, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic foot, obvious advantages in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy, combined with the specific patient, dialectical choose "diabetes peripheral neuropathy party", "diabetic nephropathy party", "diabetic foot disease", "three prince drink", "blood detoxification party" and so on, adjust the viscera function, improve human body function, delay the progress of diabetes and complications.

Diet should be scientific

Traditional Chinese medicine attaches importance to pharmacotherapy and food therapy. Both Chinese and western medicine take the initiative to regulate the diet during diabetes treatment, and it is believed that the change of diet can play a role of 70% to 80%.

Proper diet makes it easier to slow the rise of blood sugar after meals, which can help patients reduce their blood sugar after meals. When most patients are diagnosed with diabetes, they are told to pay attention to their diet.

Many patients, however, misinterpret what doctors call a diet as a restricted diet. However, in fact, diet control does not mean hunger, but on the premise of ensuring a balanced nutrition, giving consideration to individual eating habits and controlling total energy intake, it is necessary to maintain balanced nutrition and rationally distribute the three major nutrients.

Many diabetics mistakenly think that getting diabetes means eating too much sugar. In the process of controlling the diet, they mainly control the intake of sugar.

In fact, in the process of dietary control, diabetics should not only control the intake of sugar, but also limit the intake of salt to 6 grams per day. In addition, processed foods such as salted products, sauce products, potato chips and biscuits are often high in salt, and diabetic patients should try their best to avoid them. Some patients think it is good not to eat staple food, but millet congee, rice congee, Fried dough stick, a knot in one's heart soup, fire, potato, powdery stick and so on food easily make postprandial blood sugar rises very high.

People newly diagnosed with diabetes may mistake fruit for sweet and dare not eat it. In fact, fruit is rich in nutrients, can supplement the human body required vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.

The patient's blood sugar control is relatively stable with little fluctuation, which meets the precondition of eating fruit. If blood sugar control is not ideal, tomatoes and cucumbers can be used instead of fruit, and fruit can be eaten after blood sugar is relatively stable.

Li guangshan reminds that diabetic patients can tap their left and right forearms gently if they suffer from abdominal discomfort after eating. The forearms have acupoints such as three li and hole, which can help improve gastrointestinal function.

Exercise after each meal

The way of exercise of diabetic patient is to give priority to with aerobics commonly, join muscle strength training appropriately. Jogging, walking and running alternates, cycling, swimming, playing table tennis, badminton, walking up and down stairs, square dancing, etc. all belong to aerobic exercise. Diabetic patients can choose freely according to their own interests and hobbies. Diabetic patients can choose some forms of exercise that can take part in at the same time with a little load, multiple times and multiple muscle groups, such as tip-toe exercise, sitting on chairs and repeatedly standing strength, anti-leaning exercise and supine training, which all play a positive role in the decomposition of sugar in muscles.

Patients receiving hypoglycemic therapy are not suitable for fasting or too long exercise in the morning. After eating for 30 minutes, the patient walked for 20 to 30 minutes in a fast and slow way. The effect of lowering blood sugar was good, and it was relatively easy to do. However, the patient insisted, especially after lunch, he could not walk outside. And don't focus on doing it all at once after dinner. Instead, do it all throughout your meals.

People with diabetes are prone to hypoglycemia, so exercise together as far as possible, in order to timely respond to emergencies. Symptoms of hypoglycemia mainly include hunger, cold perspiration, convulsions, dizziness, etc. In case of hypoglycemia, stop exercising immediately, and use the beverage and food you carry to supplement sugar. After 10 minutes or so, observe whether the symptoms are improved. If the symptoms are not relieved, you can eat some food to continue to supplement sugar, or take to a nearby hospital. Unable to exercise for various reasons, citizens can choose to press the foot bottom yongquan point and the leg foot three li, which can help reduce blood sugar, improve immune function and prolong people's life.

"Three never leave"

'from the rise of blood sugar in the human body to the diagnosis of diabetes, there are no clear boundaries to talk about,' Mr. Li said. If the patient has a family history of diabetes, or has increased blood sugar, it should be regarded as diabetes active regulation of diet and reasonable exercise, and the family should also give positive support to the patient.

Diabetic patients should achieve "three inseparable" throughout their life: inseparable from self-safety management, inseparable from regular examinations, inseparable from the guidance of doctors. Self-safety management is the basis of all treatment, timely understanding of the harm of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, finding blurred vision, numbness of limbs, pruritus vulvae, or wound to the diabetes specialist clinic in time, so as not to leave irreparable regret due to temporary negligence. Without regular inspection, including hba1c detection every 3 months, timely adjustment of hypoglycemic scheme, and effective control of blood glucose; Examination of the fundus every 6 months, early detection of diabetic retinopathy, to avoid blindness; The 24-hour urinary microalbumin test every 6 months can prevent and treat diabetic nephropathy and delay the occurrence of renal insufficiency (uremia). Cannot leave a doctor to instruct, li guangshan reminds particularly, do not listen to the remedial experience of good friend good hearted person easily, do not want oneself to give oneself medicine more. A man look up ten fingers at the same time of blood sugar, blood sugar levels are all different, and each person's physical condition is different also, not only look at the blood sugar, listen to people around advice, pick drugs may not be suitable for their own, and should be under the guidance of specialized subject doctor, choose effective, economic and reasonable hypoglycemic scheme, system to understand and study related to diabetes knowledge, accept the way of diet and exercise guidance, adjust state of mind.
