Measuring fasting blood sugar is a common part of many physical examinations and examinations, which can provide doctors with information about blood sugar in the body and help determine whether a patient has diabetes.
For diabetic patients, fasting blood glucose is very important, and patients need to check it on time for a long time, so that patients or doctors can detect abnormal blood sugar in time and guide medication.
However, there are many people who do not pay attention to some details when measuring fasting blood glucose, resulting in inaccurate blood glucose test results, thus delaying the condition, so what should we pay attention to when measuring fasting blood sugar?
There are four things to pay attention to when measuring fasting blood glucose!
1. Do a good job of fasting
As the name suggests, fasting blood glucose is an examination item that needs to be performed on an empty stomach by the patient, because the blood sugar level of the human body is greatly affected by the diet, and the examination needs to be carried out on an empty stomach, which requires the patient to take fasting measures.
Usually the fasting blood glucose test requires the patient to fast for 8-12 hours, so that the patient's blood sugar level can tend to stabilize, and the test is generally performed in the morning, that is, the patient needs to fast the night before, and the previous day's diet should be mainly light to prevent the blood sugar level from being unstable.
2. Get enough sleep
Adequate sleep will directly determine a person's mental outlook, and those who do not sleep enough and have poor sleep quality will also have their endocrine system affected, and the secretion of insulin will be affected by it, and the patient's blood sugar control ability will be reduced.
Especially for diabetic patients, endocrine disorders can further reduce blood sugar metabolism and aggravate diabetes symptoms, and adequate sleep not only helps the fasting blood glucose test go smoothly, but also protects themselves from its damage.
3. Maintain a good attitude
As the saying goes, the heart is wide and the body is fat, and the state of mind is indeed very important to a person's health, if the human body has large mood fluctuations, it will affect the central nervous system and cause blood sugar to rise.
Long-term emotional instability will affect the normal endocrine system, resulting in slowing down carbohydrate metabolism and causing blood sugar to run out of control, which is very unfavorable for diabetics.
4. Do not stop taking the drug for the purpose of measuring fasting blood glucose
Diabetes is a disease that is difficult to cure, patients need to take drugs for life to control blood sugar, once the blood sugar is out of control, it will cause many complications, such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiovascular disease, diabetic foot, etc., and the serious condition will endanger the patient's life and health.
Therefore, patients must take the drug on time every day, and should not stop the drug without authorization to measure fasting blood glucose, otherwise it is likely to cause great harm.
Is high fasting blood sugar diabetes?
Human blood sugar is affected by many aspects, if the fasting blood sugar is high at one time, it cannot be directly judged as diabetes, and it should be rechecked in time.
一般人体空腹血糖正常值为3.9-6.1mmol/L，而餐后血糖正常值为4.4-7.8mmol/L，患者多次复查的空腹血糖大于等于7.0mmol/L，餐后血糖大于等于11.1mmol/L，这时应考虑糖尿病。
The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus should also be based on clinical symptoms, such as typical diabetes symptoms "three more and one less", polyphagia, polyuria, weight loss, and glucose tolerance test when the patient has typical symptoms.
The experiment requires patients to fasting for 8-10 hours, and the fasting blood glucose is more than 6.0 mmol/L or more than 5.6 mmol/L, and the blood glucose is more than 7.8 mmol/L two hours after a meal, combined with whether there is a family history of diabetes and obesity symptoms, and the diagnosis of diabetes can be confirmed.
To sum up, although diabetes is very common, but the harm is serious, and fasting blood glucose testing is a common way to diagnose diabetes and monitor diabetes blood sugar.
In addition, when normal people have high fasting blood sugar, don't be too nervous, this does not mean that it is diabetes, if you want to diagnose diabetes, you need to go through the above methods.
