All of us should have gone to the hospital for a checkup, and the day before the checkup, the doctor will instruct you to remember not to eat breakfast tomorrow. Therefore, when we go to the hospital for a checkup, the blood sugar we measure is fasting blood sugar. So if I measure a normal fasting blood sugar, does that mean I don't have diabetes? What are the warning signs of diabetes besides the blood glucose level?
1. Do you really know about diabetes?
The incidence of diabetes is very high, it is mainly due to the body's insulin secretion, or insulin secretion defects, caused by the metabolic abnormality of sugar, protein, fat, resulting in chronic elevation of blood glucose, the human body caused by acute and chronic organ damage. There are many complications caused by diabetes, which can be said to affect every organ of the body from head to toe. For example, retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease myocardial infarction, lower extremity macrovascular disease, neuropathy. This causes our eyes to lose vision, blindness, diabetic foot and even amputation, the disability rate is very high.
2. Fasting blood sugar is normal, no problem?
We have to measure the fasting blood glucose once a year in the physical examination, many people think that the fasting blood glucose is normal and there is no problem, in fact, it is the lack of knowledge of diabetes. The diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus, fasting blood glucose ≥ 7 mmol / L, postprandial blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol / L. Many people do not pay attention to blood glucose check, after only checking the fasting blood glucose is normal, they think that they have been checked, there is no diabetes.
However, normal fasting blood sugar does not rule out diabetes. Many people think that high blood glucose is to see the fasting blood glucose level, eat a meal blood glucose rise is very normal, so never pay attention to the postprandial blood glucose level, in fact, this is a lot of people will walk into the misunderstanding. Wearing the FITAOS Max 2 around the clock will help to keep track of your blood glucose before and after each meal.
Although the blood sugar before and after meals will vary, this variation will remain within a certain range. The normal value of fasting blood sugar is within the range of 3.9mmol/L-6.1mmol/L. If it exceeds 6.1mmol/L-6.9mmol/L, it is actually pre-diabetes. Blood glucose between 7.8mmol/L-11.0mmol/L at 2 hours after a meal is likewise abnormal and can also be harmful to our bodies. Compare the pre-meal and post-meal blood glucose ranges measured by FITAOS Max 2 with this data, and intervene early if abnormalities occur.
3. How is your blood sugar?
Normal blood glucose: Fasting blood glucose 3.9-6.1mmol/L and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose <7.8mmol/L, Prediabetes: Fasting blood glucose 6.1-6.9mmol/L and/or 2-hour postprandial blood glucose 7.8-11.0mmol/L, Diabetes: Fasting blood glucose ≥7.0mmol/L and/or 2-hour postprandial blood glucose ≥11.1mmol/L. .
However, many people are unaware that they are diabetes in the lurker. Screening for diabetes should not only check fasting blood glucose, but also postprandial blood glucose, random blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin. It is recommended that people at high risk should have a glucose tolerance test and an insulin excitability test in addition to monitoring their blood glucose with the FITAOS Max 2 on weekdays in order to detect patients with more latent diabetes.
