(a), continue to learn the knowledge of diabetes prevention and control, and constantly improve the understanding of diabetes. The treatment of diabetes mainly depends on doctors, but only by learning the knowledge of prevention and treatment and raising the awareness of treatment can patients seriously carry out diet and exercise treatment and achieve good treatment results. There are three ways to treat diabetes: diet therapy, exercise therapy and drug therapy (including insulin therapy). Of course, according to the condition, you can't refuse to take medicine when you need it. However, for newly discovered patients with diabetes or type ⅱ or mild diabetes, diet and exercise can be used first, and then non-drug treatment can be used to control blood sugar at the qualified standard. (2) Adhere to strict diet therapy. Although I am a type II diabetic with mild diabetes, my efforts in diet therapy in the past 20 years are not lower than the strict requirements of type I diabetic patients on diet. (1) I insist on eating less and more meals every day. I insist on 50 grams of staple food per meal (1 2), and eat 250 grams (5/2) every day, divided into five times, 6: 00 a.m. 1 time, 8: 30 a.m. 1 time, and 65438 times at noon 12. (2) I drink 5 packs of soybean milk every day (227 ml per pack) and eat it five times (6 am, noon 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm and 8 pm). When eating vegetables at noon and at night, I often eat other bean products. (3) Eat 1 boiled eggs at six o'clock every morning and 1 bottle (half a catty) of yogurt in the morning. (4) For lunch at twelve o'clock and dinner at six o'clock, both eat a lot of vegetables, which are generally above 1 kg. Some vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers can also be eaten raw, and you can eat boiled pumpkins in autumn. (5) Eat 1 fruit (such as 1 apple or 1-2 bananas) at 7: 30 every night. Drink 2000-3000 ml of water every day (including water in diet). (6) Never smoke or drink, and occasionally drink a small amount of beer at parties. Although the daily food intake is reduced, seven nutrients (carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, inorganic salts, trace elements and cellulose) are completely included, so as to achieve the purpose of a balanced diet. (3) Insist on exercise therapy, which is a very important measure to treat diabetes. (1) The main exercise mode is walking, and it is necessary to take a walk after meals (including meals), usually half an hour after meals, and the walking time is at least 30 minutes, preferably about 60 minutes. 19861June 12 I wrote "40,000 steps and five days on the spot", which basically reflected the physical exercise situation after I suffered from diabetes. From 1986 to 13, I insist that the actual situation of exercise is still the same as before, but the walking speed per minute is slightly reduced, but the number and time of walking are basically the same as before. I haven't used the pedometer for a long time. Use the clock. Generally, walk at least 2 times in the morning and evening, sometimes 3 times, totaling about 2 hours; Take a walk at least 2 times in the afternoon, sometimes 3 times, for a total of about 2 hours; Walk twice in the evening for half an hour each time; 1 day total walking time is still 5-6 hours. (2) When walking, it is inevitable to cross the road. Because the eyesight has decreased, we should pay attention to safety in the case of traffic congestion to prevent accidents. This aroused my high vigilance and took some preventive measures. (3) I never stop exercising when I go out or take the train. I deeply understand that physical exercise, like diet control, plays an important role in controlling diabetes and blood sugar. (4) Insist on testing urine sugar and blood sugar. If urine sugar and blood sugar are not detected, the treatment plan can not be adjusted according to the test results, blood sugar can not be controlled, and the treatment effect can not be achieved. My practice is: (1) I have been testing urine sugar every day for 20 years. I leave a urine sample every time I pee every day, usually 5-7 times. I put different urine samples into test tubes in the morning, noon and evening, add 1 ml Bancroft reagent after the urine is poured out, and then boil it in water for 5 minutes, so that which test tube has sugar or not will be displayed. For the test tube and urine sample of "10", we can recall the reason why they urinated sugar: they ate too much staple food. This can aim at the cause, treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. (2) I check my blood sugar every 2-3 months. There are three kinds of blood glucose measurement: fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. The amount of urine sugar is related to the level of blood sugar. Only by accurately understanding the condition can we adjust the treatment plans such as diet and exercise in time. This is very necessary. We must not be afraid of trouble or be lazy. (5) Insist on taking vitamins. In the past 20 years, I have never taken 1 oral hypoglycemic drugs or injected 1 insulin, but I take vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B 1 every day. Recently, I sometimes take a little vitamin B2 or a little vitamin A. In recent years, I have also taken some Chinese patent medicines such as Qiju Dihuang Pills every day (which can delay cataracts). (6) maintain a normal weight. I have lost weight 10 kg in the past 20 years. From 1979 to 65438+ Although I am 80 years old, I still live a full and happy retirement life like a normal person. However, my diabetes has never been cured. If I don't pay attention to it, my urine sugar test will reflect it. So I will treat life strictly and reasonably as in the past, and I am full of confidence that I can live a long life. ● Health quotations; Whoever can enrich every moment with profound content is prolonging his life indefinitely. -Courths ● My favorite sentence; The way of health preservation is based on yin and yang, proper diet and regular living.
