Diabetes not only affects the health of hundreds of millions of people around the globe, but is also a source of concern for its possible complications. As diabetes complications approach quietly, our bodies send a “suspense signal” through subtle changes. Today, let us lift the veil of these mysterious signals and learn how to catch them in time and to deal with them!
First, irregular diets are a problem that many diabetics can easily ignore. Sometimes this irregular diet leads to fluctuations in blood sugar levels and places an additional burden on insulin because of busy work, skipping breakfast or delaying dinner. Insulin function is gradually impaired in the long run. Therefore, the regular diet is not just for the abdomen, but for the insulin function. Second, high sugar, high fat diet. This diet will rapidly increase blood sugar levels, forcing insulin to be treated more frequently. Over the long term, insulin cells may be reduced by overwork. This diet not only increases the burden of insulin, but may also lead to other health problems, such as obesity, further affecting insulin function.
So how do we protect insulin function?
First, to keep the daily diet as constant as possible, to avoid prolonged abdominal or intoxication and to reduce the burden of insulin.
Second, the selection of low sugar, low fat, high fibres and reduced ingestion of high sugar, high fat food can help to protect insulin function.
Third, increased physical activity helps to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the demand for insulin.
Fourth, blood sugar is regularly monitored and insulin function is kept up to date in order to adjust treatment programmes.
Finally, the negative impact on the insulin function is reduced by avoiding poor living habits, such as cessation of smoking and alcohol. Insulin’s health is vital to our control of blood sugar. By changing these two behaviours, we can effectively protect insulin function and prevent the occurrence of diabetes complications. Let us act today to protect our insulin and enjoy a healthier life.
