Remind 'sugar friends': low blood sugar is prone to occur during these time periods, and you need to pay more attention!

Everyone should know that diabetes is a metabolic disease. Its main feature is the disorder of blood sugar metabolism in the patient's body. Whether it is fasting or postprandial blood sugar, it exceeds the normal index, which means that the patient has obvious symptoms of hyperglycemia.

　　However, people with diabetes may also experience hypoglycemia, and the risk of hypoglycemia is far more terrifying than hyperglycemia.

　　According to the current clinical data, the causes of diabetes hypoglycemia are caused by a variety of etiologies, and the incidence of hypoglycemia in patients with different etiologies is also different, and the clinical symptoms of patients are different.

　　Patients with mild hypoglycemia may just have common symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as cold sweats, fatigue, and hunger. Severe patients may experience disturbances in consciousness and behavior, hypoglycemic coma, and even death.

　　So the question is, when are diabetic patients prone to hypoglycemia?

　　1. Midnight

　　This kind of situation mostly occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes, that is, patients are prone to have midnight hypoglycemia and early morning hyperglycemia , which is clinically referred to as "Sumujie reaction ".

　　The main reason for this is because the patient needs insulin injections , but once insulin is overdose , it will induce hypoglycemia, especially at midnight, but under the influence of its own negative feedback regulation , it will appear high in the morning. blood sugar symptoms;

　　2. When exercising

　　In non-diabetic individuals, exercise can significantly increase the uptake of glucose by muscle tissue , but the increased utilization of glucose in the body can be achieved through increased production of glucose in the liver and kidneys, and healthy people have the ability to inhibit insulin secretion from beta cells , so hypoglycemia generally does not occur.

　　However, diabetic patients are not the same. If the patient does a lot of exercise, does not adjust the medication, and does not follow up on the diet, it will lead to hypoglycemia during or after exercise;

3. Improper diet

　　You must know that all kinds of nutrients and glucose needed by the human body come from eating, so even diabetic patients need a reasonable diet every day.

　　Relevant studies have shown that after insulin injection and hypoglycemic drugs , if the patient does not eat on time or eats less , it will cause hypoglycemia , which is also one of the most common causes of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, especially It is especially high when the patient eats out and travels abroad;

　　4. Hot summer

　　As the temperature rises, people's appetite often becomes worse and worse. The amount of glucose obtained from the diet is reduced, and the temperature will also increase the rate of metabolism. In the case of excessive consumption of blood sugar, hypoglycemia is prone to occur.

　　In addition , after injecting insulin, the temperature is too high, taking a hot bath , etc., will promote the absorption of insulin. In this case, insulin is absorbed too quickly, which may also lead to hypoglycemia;

5. Other diseases

　　If a diabetic patient is combined with renal insufficiency, gastroparesis, the body is in a stress response (infection, surgery, trauma), hypocortisolemia , etc., it may affect blood glucose metabolism through various mechanisms, and eventually cause hypoglycemia. The appearance of blood sugar.

　　All in all, diabetic patients complicated with hypoglycemia are affected by a variety of factors, the most common of which are improper medication, improper exercise and dietary adjustment. Therefore, people with diabetes should be more vigilant about hypoglycemia. After the diagnosis of the disease, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's advice and make double adjustments to medication and life.
