How did you discover diabetes? Do you still feel uncomfortable during a physical examination and see a doctor by yourself?

I was visiting my sister’s house, and suddenly my hands were shaking and I was sweating. My sister is a doctor, and her father-in-law has high blood sugar. He has a set of tools for measuring blood sugar. He said that I have low blood sugar. He measured it for me and found that his blood sugar was 12.8. From then on, I knew that I had high blood sugar...

I have always been fat after marriage, and my weight has been stable, staying at around 145 pounds all year round. I also love desserts and fruits. Some people have advised me to control my diet and weight before, so as not to get diabetes in the future. I have always scorned it, thinking that such a disease of wealth will definitely not happen to me. After all, there is no family history of diabetes in our family for several generations, and secondly, I am also a nurse. Although I work in the obstetrics and gynecology department, the occasional blood sugar test on my finger is within the normal range.

The first time I discovered that I had blood sugar problems was when I was pregnant with my son. I was lucky enough to love chocolate, and sometimes I could eat a pound a day. Later, when I did a glucose tolerance test during pregnancy, I found that my fasting blood sugar was low. It was 0.5 higher than the normal value. After the doctor asked me about my diet, he asked me to control my diet. Later, it was normal again when he checked again. I didn't take it seriously and continued to eat and drink normally, but halved the amount of chocolate.

The second time I discovered there was a blood sugar problem was during the physical examination at my workplace in 2019. The venous blood test at that time showed that my fasting blood sugar was 8.9, and my urine sugar was also positive. But I still don’t feel any discomfort. It’s common for me to skip breakfast or drink water when I’m busy in the morning. I don’t feel flustered or dizzy. I didn't even feel hungry at all, because I kept having milk tea and the like every day. At that time, I knew I must have diabetes, but I still didn’t take any medication. I just exercised more and made no changes in my diet.

In April this year, the work unit had another physical examination. This time, the fasting blood sugar was also 8.7, and the urine sugar was still positive. After I get up every morning, I feel hungry for a while, but it only lasts for 10 minutes. I don't feel any discomfort if I don't eat. I still don't take anti-diabetic drugs, but I completely give up desserts and milk tea.

As a nurse, I don’t know how harmful diabetes is. But subconsciously I resisted getting this disease. Now I will pay close attention to my subjective feelings, and I will prepare to go to the hospital to check my blood sugar system after a while. I still need to take medicine when I need to.

In 2018, at the age of 40, I discovered that I had lost weight

My height of 177.5cm only left 117 pounds. I used to be 160 pounds

Because of my mother I have diabetes and also passed away due to complications, so I was mentally prepared and didn’t panic too much

My sister was in the hospital and helped contact a doctor to test her blood sugar fasting 17. She was immediately hospitalized and put on an insulin pump. The basic amount is a dozen units a day, and five, ten, and five should be injected immediately before three meals.

The thirst problem was solved that night

Thanks to my sisters, family, and doctors, it was really life-saving

But I already had some complications and my eyes were a bit swollen. Flowers, numbness in hands and feet, cold heels.

Halfway through my stay, I removed the insulin pump. The next day, an old doctor came over and asked:

Are you resistant to insulin?

I said, no

Because my mother is not suffering from this disease. I am not afraid of death, I am afraid of dying without dignity. Dialysis, blindness, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. . . I still remember it vividly

The old doctor said, OK

You can control it now, no injections, no medicines

Can you continue to exercise?

I seemed to see a light

Is this still possible?

. . . . .

It has been three years. Anyone who knows me well knows that

I walk in circles and exercise every day

Control my diet

Now I am fasting 6~ 7

It should also be conditioned. Various reasons.

I plan to find time to inject myself with a burst of rapid-acting insulin

To take care of myself

Return to the state of fasting 5.5 hours

Next, let’s talk about how I got the disease

One inheritance

Two cola

Three anxiety

Please don’t have it yet, or you already have it Chinese people who have symptoms,

Put down the dessert immediately

Take a step back and make peace with yourself

Go out and exercise

My blood sugar is slightly high, but I am not diabetic, but I feel that something is wrong with me, because recently I have been craving for sweets, and I always think about the desserts I bought on the way to get off work. , this was something that had never happened before. Later, I did a physical examination and found that blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin were both a bit high. Fortunately, the indicators were between 6.1 and 7.00. It did not constitute diabetes but was potential. This was the result of the recent lack of exercise. Now Spring is coming, and the flowers are blooming. Try to keep exercising and reduce your risk indicators.

Physical examination. After my daughter’s college entrance examination, I thought it was time for a physical examination, so I went to the hospital... As soon as I got the results, I almost fainted. The fasting blood sugar was 6.9; the postprandial blood sugar was 10. I was stunned and I thought about that period. I have frequent episodes of hypoglycemia; I keep itching all over my body; and I eat more and more food. Isn’t this my body’s reminder? Alas, I was still careless. Although the doctor said it was insulin resistance for the time being (the standard at that time was that if it was above 7, it was recommended to take medicine; now the standard is above 6.1), it scared me to death, so I immediately started to lose weight. Now my blood sugar is over 5. , Alas, we still cannot take it lightly.

My appetite has increased, and I suddenly like to eat sweets, because my parents have it, and I bought a blood glucose meter specifically for gestational diabetes in the late stages of pregnancy more than a year ago. I wanted to test it, but it was scary. It's about 9 o'clock on an empty stomach, and the highest is 19 after meals. After a few days, symptoms of three more and one less will appear, followed by a feeling of decreased vision. After a few days of controlling the diet, going to the hospital for a blood test will basically confirm that you are a person with diabetes. I think it was caused by eating a lot in order to gain weight for more than a year after giving birth. Now more than a month has passed. I have no injections or medicines. By controlling my diet and exercising, my blood sugar has dropped a bit but it is still high. I have lost almost 10 pounds. I must grit my teeth and persevere. At least don’t let me take medicines and injections so quickly [ Face covering]

I have gestational diabetes and my blood sugar became normal after giving birth. One day in my second month, I felt thirsty when I came back from my hometown. I felt thirsty and drank three small glasses of water, which was as much as half a bottle of mineral water. More, but still feel thirsty. After dinner in the evening, the meal blood sugar level was 12, and the fasting blood sugar level the next day was 6. But after controlling my diet, it became normal, and my glucose tolerance and insulin release were also up to standard, but I couldn't go back to the days of eating haphazardly.

I have three relatives and friends with diabetes, so I would like to share them with you.

My aunt lives in a rural area and usually urinates on the spot when working in the fields. Once she found that there were ants crawling around her urine. When she asked other people, there were no ants, only ants. Her urine was crawling with ants.

She panicked. Rural people were not knowledgeable and were very superstitious. She thought this was a bad sign and thought something might happen to her. She was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep every day.

When a relative who was a doctor found out, he advised her to come to the hospital for a blood sugar test, and she was diagnosed with diabetes.

An aunt loved to eat grapes for a year and ate them every day. Her husband felt there was something wrong and asked him to go to the hospital for a physical examination to see if there was anything wrong with him. Why did he eat raisins every day? Blood sugar, diabetes.

The year before last, my father couldn't walk on the road. He had to drive for a distance of one or two kilometers. He said he had no strength and couldn't walk on the road. My mother felt something was wrong. My father's physical condition has always been very good. , Why can’t I walk even a thousand or two kilometers away?

Go to the hospital for a check-up. Diabetes.

The three of them behave differently.

The most typical one is that three people have more diabetes and one has less diabetes. This is the same among the three of them.

Eating more, drinking more, urinating more, and losing weight.

If you think there is a problem, go to the hospital to test your blood sugar. This is the simplest and fastest way.

I woke up three times at night, urinated a lot, drank a lot of water, suddenly lost weight, and my mouth smelled like rotten apples.

More than 20 years ago, people said that I was very thin. Then when I thought back, I had a lot of foam when I went to the toilet, my eyes were a little blurry, and my body was itchy but I didn’t take it seriously. I went to the hospital to see the doctor and my blood sugar level was over 22, and my health If you don’t have ketones, go back and get injections!

After controlling it for a while, my blood sugar level is still around 7 or 8! But the taboo is too painful, just like eating something sweet! Even if I eat it secretly, I think it’s okay!

Later I couldn’t hold it back anymore and after eating watermelon all summer, I couldn’t see anymore! When I went to the hospital, it turned out to be cataracts. Even after the surgery, my vision was still blurry. I gradually felt that my vision was getting better!

I still want to eat fruit, and eating white flour also raises blood sugar, but I just want to eat it, and I can eat it whenever I want. After staying in the hospital several times, I ate whole grains. Whole grains don’t taste good! Later, I still ate fruits, dry food and refined grains, but I walked a thousand steps every day!

It feels okay! I don’t want to starve to death, so I should exercise more and eat less solid food. If I eat fruits, pay attention to the amount every time, and I will die! Don’t be scared to death by blood sugar!

Moderate exercise and scientific diet are the ways to fight diabetes! If you blindly avoid food, your body will be lacking something and something will go wrong. However, you must not eat too much glycemic food!
