Diabetes patients often focus their eyes on the absolute value of blood sugar while ignoring its volatility. In fact, blood sugar can be more dangerous than continued high blood sugar. It’s like riding in a roller coaster, and it’s a shock to the body as a result of a sudden shock, much more intense than when you’re moving smoothly. So why is it so dangerous to be too volatile? Excessive blood sugar fluctuations mean that the body has experienced a rapid rise and decline in blood sugar in a short period of time. This rapid change is a challenge to multiple systems of the body.
First of all, the blood vessels can be damaged by the effect of blood sugar, and it can be prolonged, and it can cause cardiovascular disease. Second, the neurons are very sensitive to changes in blood sugar, and frequent blood sugar fluctuations can cause neurological damage and, consequently, diabetic neuroses. Moreover, when the kidney filters the sugar in the blood, if the blood sugar fluctuates too much, the kidney burden increases and may develop into diabetes kidney disease in the long term. Similarly, microvascular blood vessels in the eye can be damaged by blood sugar fluctuations, increasing the risk of retinal disease. The causes of blood sugar fluctuations range from diet, exercise, drug use, emotional volatility and sleep quality. Unregulated diet and exercise, inappropriate use of medicines, emotional fluctuations and lack of sleep can lead to sharp fluctuations in blood sugar.
In order to reduce blood sugar volatility, diabetes patients need comprehensive measures. A balanced diet, regular exercise, rational use of medication, emotional management and adequate sleep are all effective ways to reduce blood sugar volatility. In these ways, diabetics can reduce the high volatility of blood sugar, thereby reducing the risk of complications. Excessive blood sugar fluctuations pose a serious threat to the health of diabetes patients. Diabetes patients need to realize that blood sugar control is not just reducing blood sugar, but, more importantly, keeping it stable. Through integrated management, people with diabetes can reduce blood sugar and enjoy healthier and more stable lives.
