In recent years, the number of people suffering from diabetes in China has been increasing. From the current situation, diabetes is no longer a patent disease of middle-aged and elderly diseases, and some young people are also troubled by diabetes. Maintaining good health and effectively controlling blood sugar is a key thing.

I believe everyone knows that diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease . Once diagnosed with diabetes hypoglycemic drugs, and there is no way to fundamentally cure it, everyone must adjust their eating habits in time and observe their blood sugar in daily life.

Some time ago, I received a private letter from a patient, and was diagnosed with hyperglycemia a year ago. In order to effectively prevent complications, this patient will regularly check the blood sugar standard every day . Just a few days ago, he measured his fasting blood sugar to be 8.5. He felt very scared and felt that his blood sugar had risen , so he hurried to the hospital for help.

Experts explain: If you find that your fasting blood sugar value is high, it is not necessarily high blood sugar . We should judge whether blood sugar is elevated from a comprehensive perspective. If you are not clear about the standard of blood sugar, you might as well learn about it together.

What causes a person's blood sugar to rise?

1. The number of liver glycogen cells in the body no longer increases.

2. Decreased insulin secretion in the body.

3. The lipolytic effect of fat is continuously enhanced.

4. Insufficient secretion of pancreatic beta cells in the body.

5. There is no way for skeletal muscle to use glucose more efficiently.

6. The effect of cell transmitters in the nerve center is decreasing.

7. Glucagon secreted by islet alpha cells is increasing.

Under normal circumstances, the normal value of fasting blood sugar should be lower than 6.1, and the normal blood sugar value after meals should be controlled below 7.8 . If the two blood sugars are higher than this range, it can theoretically be judged as hyperglycemia.

In addition to the above reasons, being overweight will also cause abnormal insulin secretion and secretion disorders in the patient's body, which will lead to the gradual change of insulin resistance to insulin deficiency and increase the risk of hyperglycemia.

If fasting blood sugar is 8.5, is it serious? The doctor explained: If there are these three situations, there is basically no need to worry

When you are measuring blood sugar yourself, you occasionally detect high blood sugar, so you don’t need to worry too much. If the blood sugar level continues to rise, you should analyze the specific situation and make a comprehensive judgment based on your age, physical condition, and degree of disease.

1. Pregnant women

Female friends will experience more or less changes in their bodies after pregnancy, and their body functions are significantly different than before. Under the influence of progesterone, the levels of endocrine hormones and metabolic hormones in pregnant women will generally decrease.

Experts explained that the fasting blood sugar after pregnancy should be controlled below 5.1. If it exceeds this value, it will be judged as gestational diabetes in clinical medicine . Everyone should pay more attention to diet and life, and eat less blood sugar. food.

2. The elderly

If it is an elderly person over 60 years old, the fasting blood sugar requirements are not as strict as others. With the growth of age, the cells and tissues of the body are gradually degraded, and the requirements can be relaxed appropriately. We control the fasting blood sugar in daily life. 8.1 or so is good, which is also a normal physiological phenomenon.

However, for patients with high blood pressure, if the fasting blood sugar exceeds 8.5, there is no need to worry too much. This is due to the effect of diabetes-induced high blood pressure, which leads to an increase in blood concentration , which will cause some changes in blood sugar.

Therefore, while controlling blood sugar, everyone should also control the level of blood pressure to avoid the increase of fasting blood sugar . The reason for the continuous increase of blood sugar should be found out and the right medicine should be prescribed, which is more conducive to maintaining cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

3. Healthy adults

For a healthy adult, if the measured fasting blood sugar value is 8.5, it can basically be judged as hyperglycemia. Everyone should follow the doctor's advice, take hypoglycemic drugs on time, and adjust their living and eating habits in time.

In addition, it is necessary to strengthen appropriate exercise, and strive to control blood sugar at around 3.9 to 6.1, so as to avoid harming cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and causing physical discomfort.
