Elderly diabetic protective measures

(L) alert tin, early detection, early treatment. Elderly diabetes, symptoms not typical, Block alert tin, regular health checks. The current medical tests are fasting glucose, diabetes light islet dysfunction lighter, fasting insulin secretion either a certain amount of insulin to maintain normal glucose level, but after dining islet load increased, insulin secretion that were inadequate, resulting in elevated blood sugar. So fasting glucose normal, except not diabetes, medical tests should be two-hour postprandial glucose better. Old diabetic kidney arteriosclerosis or nephropathy, renal threshold increased sugar, though high blood sugar glucose but still negative, At this time must check blood sugar. Some specialties such as ophthalmologists encountered since cataract, diabetes limits of the patients change the end, dermatology found recurring Furuncle patients Cave gynecological encounter genital itching, blood sugar testing should be routine. Many diabetes is found by them. Old age diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological complications such as a high-incidence prime minister, the physician should be more police tin, Where encountered cardiovascular, nervous system diseases chips treatment of the elderly, particularly obesity, blood sugar testing in a timely manner. Hospitalized medical patients put on blood glucose testing, in particular, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose as a routine examination. If early detection of diabetes and promptly control, some complications early lesions can be reversed. (2) active control of blood glucose, not laissez-faire. Perhaps some may think that age has been so great, and they can eat, instead, diabetes itself is not painful, nor the itch, not worthwhile for diet control, various oral hypoglycemic drugs or even Hong Tian insulin. Nothing wrong with this view. Now people live longer, if the right moderate diabetes taking a laissez-faire attitude, and then with a normal life, the The difference is significant. Not timely treatment of diabetes, in a very short period of time from various complications, or even maimed and die. Therefore Turn try glucose and technology system in the normal range. (3) Older patients with diabetes, liver and kidney accompanied dysfunction, which are often easy to hypoglycemia reaction. Therefore these patients can be appropriately relaxed control standards. To 2 hours postprandial hyperglycemia in 11.1 cents mole / l (200 mg / dl) following better. And the general principles of treatment similar to diabetes. (4) proper diet. About 30% of patients, simple diet in the treatment of illness or network control. General advocated low-fat, high-carbohydrate and high cellulose diet, will enable the surrounding tissue to insulin sensitivity increased, thus decreased blood glucose tolerance improved. Eat a certain amount of crude fiber foods such as wheat bran, corn bran, may slow down the intestinal absorption of sugar speed, thus prevent excessive postprandial hyperglycemia. Have hyperlipidemia must limit fat intake volume, hypercholesterolemia who must limit high cholesterol foods, like animal offal, egg yolk, such as explants. (5) To appropriate physical activity. Elderly Diabetics should engage in appropriate physical activity, persist in physical training.
