Diabetes as a common chronic disease afflicts hundreds of millions of diabetes patients worldwide. However, some diabetes patients not only coexist with the disease, but also live long lives. Let’s see what’s common about long-lived diabetes!
Characteristic 1: Strict blood sugar control. Long-lived diabetes patients usually focus on blood sugar control and follow the advice of doctors to regularly monitor blood sugar, take drugs or inject insulin on time, and ensure that blood sugar levels remain within the desired range. Strict blood sugar control can reduce the risk of diabetes complications, including cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases and vision problems, which are important factors affecting the longevity of diabetes patients.
Characteristic II: Healthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyles are essential for people with diabetes. Long-lived diabetes patients often have a balanced diet, regular exercise and good sleep habits. Avoid high sugar and fat foods and choose fibre-rich vegetables and whole grains, as well as appropriate proteins. In addition, appropriate aerobics and force training is conducted to enhance CPR function and muscle strength.
Characteristic III: Positive mentality. Positive attitudes are also key to the longevity of diabetes patients. Long-lived diabetes patients are usually able to cope with disease, not allowing diabetes to define their own lives, but rather as a chronic disease that needs to be managed. Optimistic and positive mentalities can respond well to stress, which helps to reduce blood sugar levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Characteristic IV: Periodic medical examinations. Long-lived diabetes patients attach great importance to regular medical examinations. It is important not only to regularly examine blood sugar but also to conduct eye, kidney and foot examinations to detect and prevent diabetes complications at an early stage. Regular medical examinations help to adjust the treatment programme in a timely manner and to maintain health.
Through strict blood sugar control, a healthy lifestyle, a positive mentality and regular medical examinations, every diabetic can become a member of a long life. Let us draw inspiration from these characteristics and lay a solid foundation for our health and longevity.
