Cardiovascular alarms: the three indicators that diabetics cannot ignore

In the world of diabetes, every moment of blood sugar management is like a race against time. In addition to the blood sugar values we often hear about, three other indicators are equally critical, and once they are “failed”, they increase our risk of diabetes cardiovascular complications. And then let’s talk about the three cardiovascular killers — sugared hemoglobin, blood pressure, low-density protein cholesterol (LDL-C), and how diabetics can cope with them.The first entry, HbA1c, was the result of “intimate contact” of blood sugar and haemoglobin, reflecting average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months. It’s like a memory of blood sugar, a silent record of every moment. When HbA1c is above 7 per cent (specific values vary from person to person), it means that our blood sugar is “defunct” for a long period of time, and that the vascular membranes are damaged, hardened, and eventually cardiovascular disease comes to the door. So, check HbA1c regularly and adjust the treatment in time to keep it safe!Next is blood pressure, which tends to follow diabetes. High blood pressure is like a “heavy man” who keeps pressuring the heart, overburdening it and accelerating the sclerosis of the artery, making it fragile and fragile. Diabetes patients are required to measure their blood pressure at least once a month, and if they have been successful, they are required to take medication and keep their blood pressure within the safety line. Blood pressure isn’t just for the heart, it’s for the whole blood vessels!Finally, speaking of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, this guy, commonly known as “bad cholesterol”, prefers to “settle home” on the vascular wall, to form plaque and jam the vascular, which is one of the “probations” of cardiovascular complications of diabetes. Diabetes patients tend to be accompanied by haemoglobin abnormalities and therefore are regularly checked for blood resin, especially at the LDL-C level. Once the standard is exceeded, it is necessary to adjust the diet, to eat more vegetables and fruits, to eat less greasy foods and, if necessary, to use fatting.If people with diabetes are to be free from the threat of cardiovascular complications, three lines of defence must be put in place: control of sugared hemoglobin, steady blood pressure, and reduction of LDL-C. And healthy lifestyles, monitoring of patterns, rational use of medicines are our most powerful weapons. Let’s work together to protect our cardiovascular health so that diabetes is no longer a healthy stumbling block!
