What are the five carriages for diabetes management?

The five carriages refer to: healthy diet, blood sugar monitoring, proper exercise, drug treatment and psychological education. Five carriages are neck and neck, and none of them can be left behind.

(1) The first "horse" in driving refers to the health education and psychological adjustment that enables diabetic patients to acquire diabetes-related knowledge and disease self-management skills. That is to say, patients can increase their knowledge of diabetes and learn the skills of self-management of diabetes through learning, and reduce the harm caused by ignorance.

By properly adjusting the mentality after illness, reducing the psychological burden, building the confidence to cure the disease, changing the unhealthy lifestyle and carrying out reasonable treatment, blood sugar is often easier to control.

(2) The second horse driving refers to diet therapy. It is to make eating scientific, so that the condition of diabetes can be controlled to some extent.

Don't underestimate the reasonable and scientific diet control, which plays a decisive role in the control of diabetes at any time. Moreover, scientific diet has a control effect on hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia, which are often associated with diabetes

(3) The third "horse" driving refers to exercise therapy.

It is through scientific moderate exercise that the condition of diabetes can be controlled to a certain extent. Proper/moderate exercise can not only keep blood sugar from rising, but also have obvious effects on hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia, which are often associated with diabetes.

(4) The fourth "horse" driving refers to the drug treatment plan formulated according to the specific situation of each patient.

With education, psychological adjustment, diet control and exercise therapy, if the blood sugar control is still not ideal, it is necessary to formulate a reasonable, safe and personal medication plan under the guidance of a specialist. As a diabetic, you can't take medicine casually, but you should take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. You can't understand the basic knowledge of medication at all, because drugs will have some side effects, so diabetic patients should know how to protect themselves in drug treatment.

(5) The fifth "horse" driving refers to scientific disease monitoring. Blood sugar monitoring is an indispensable link in the treatment of diabetes. However, blood sugar is not the only monitoring index. In addition to blood sugar monitoring, we should also monitor weight, blood pressure, blood lipid and other indicators. According to the monitoring results of these indicators, doctors and patients themselves can know whether the condition is well controlled or not, so as to adjust the treatment plan according to the condition.
