When the word “diabetes” is heard, a lot of people may have a head-to-heart of the word “innocent” and then begin to imagine with concern that their future lives are filled with limitations and pains, but diabetes is not incurable!
Let’s start with diabetes. Our bodies are like a factory, and insulin is the “carrying hand” in this factory. Its mission is to move glucose from blood into the cell, so that it can work with energy. However, if, for some reason, insulin does not work well, or if the cells do not follow the insulin command and do not want to receive glucose, then the blood sugar will accumulate only in blood, which leads to diabetes.
Then why do people think diabetes is incurable? That’s because, once diabetes has become available, there’s no way to get it over with, like a little tail we can’t get rid of, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything about it.
For diabetics, treatment is like a long-term “health war”. First, dietary control is an important “strategic defence line”. It’s not about making us eat nothing, it’s about eating smart. Sugar, pastry, fried food, for example, would have to eat less, and would have to eat more of the food rich in food fibres, like vegetables, whole grains, like blood sugar’s “stabilizers”, so the blood sugar would rise flat.
Sport is an essential “secret weapon”. Appropriate exercise can make the body’s cells more active and the reaction to insulin will be more sensitive and better able to receive glucose from insulin. It is possible to choose the type of sport it likes, such as walking, jogging, holding on several times a week, each time for about an hour and a half, and to make a body stick.
In addition to diet and sports, drug treatment is an important “fire support” in this “defence war”. Some diabetes patients may need insulin injection to help get blood sugar to the cells. There are also oral sugar herbs, which operate in different ways but with the aim of reducing blood sugar. Diabetes patients must take their medication on time, as prescribed by the doctor, and must not increase or reduce their own amount.
While diabetes requires long-term management and treatment, as long as people with diabetes cooperate actively and keep blood sugar within a reasonable range, they can live as normal people, continue to work, study, travel and enjoy life.
