Wang Xia is a 45-year-old woman who works as a primary school teacher.
Six months ago, she was diagnosed with high blood sugar during a routine physical exam. It was a bolt from the blue for her. As someone who had never suffered from a major illness, this diagnosis made her deeply worried.
Wang Xia decided to immediately change her lifestyle, especially her eating habits, in an attempt to control her blood sugar levels in this way.
On the day the results of the physical examination came out, Wang Xia immediately made an appointment with the endocrinology clinic of the local hospital. I walked into the door of the hospital with a nervous mood, hoping to get professional guidance and advice.
The attending physician is Dr. Lee, an endocrinologist with extensive experience.
Dr. Li carefully reviewed Wang Xia's physical examination report and found that her fasting blood sugar level was significantly elevated, and her glycosylated hemoglobin also met the diagnostic criteria for diabetes.
Dr. Li said to Wang Xia gently, "Your current situation really needs to be taken seriously, but don't be too nervous.
With lifestyle changes and necessary medications, many people are able to effectively control their blood sugar and lead a normal life. ”
Wang Xia nodded, determined to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan. Dr. Li prescribed her some hypoglycemic medication and explained in detail how to monitor her blood sugar, diet management, and the importance of exercise.
When Wang Xia returned home, she immediately formulated a strict diet plan. Decide to stop eating rice and pasta and instead choose low-carb, high-fiber foods like vegetables, legumes, and small amounts of whole grains.
Half a year later, Wang Xia stuck to her diet plan and started walking for an hour every day. Her body gradually adapted to this new way of life and her weight decreased.
Keep a weekly record of your blood sugar levels and return to the hospital regularly for follow-ups. At each follow-up check-up, Dr. Lee will carefully review her blood glucose records and adjust her treatment plan.
After a follow-up examination, Dr. Li smiled and said to Wang Xia, "Your blood sugar is well controlled, and diet and exercise do play a big role.
However, long-term absences from rice and pasta may lead to nutritional imbalances. We still need to find a balance to make your diet more varied while continuing to keep your blood sugar stable. ”
Wang Xia nodded, realizing that she might have gone to some extremes in her pursuit of health.
Asked Dr. Lee about how to reintroduce some carbohydrates without compromising blood sugar control.
Dr. Lee advised her to choose foods with a low glycemic index (GI), such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and oatmeal, and to limit the amount of food she consumed.
Over the next few months, Wang Xia gradually adjusted her diet based on Dr. Li's advice.
It was found that a moderate intake of carbohydrates with a low GI not only did not raise her blood sugar, but also made her diet richer and more varied, and her body felt more energetic.
Through this period of adjustment and adaptation, Wang Xia gradually mastered the skills of blood sugar control. I understand the importance of a balanced diet, and pay more attention to regular check-ups and self-monitoring.
Life is back on track and I don't have to worry about my blood sugar anymore.
Wang Xia's story makes us understand that high blood sugar is not terrible, as long as we actively face it and adopt scientific methods, it can be completely controlled and managed.
Excessive dietary restriction can be effective in the short term, but it can lead to malnutrition and other health problems in the long term.
Therefore, a reasonable diet, a variety of food choices, moderate exercise, and regular medical check-ups are the keys to maintaining good health.
For patients with high blood sugar, in addition to following the doctor's advice and maintaining good lifestyle habits, psychological adjustment is equally important.
Just as Wang Xia experienced when facing a hyperglycemia diagnosis, from the nervousness and uneasiness at the beginning, to the acceptance and positive response later, every step requires courage and perseverance.
We saw the resilience and wisdom of an ordinary person in the face of health challenges.
The management of hyperglycemia is not only a change in numbers, but also a comprehensive adjustment of lifestyle and a positive change in mindset.
I hope that all people facing similar problems can learn from this and find their own path to health and a better life.
