Diabetes Medication Not Look Fasting Blood Glucose

According to "Health News" reported that China's army team is growing diabetes, many patients during treatment are often easily into errors. The following is the sum of the three medical experts need to pay attention to the problem of diabetes drugs:

Fasting blood sugar may increase the dosage

Because some patients with diabetes using insulin or hypoglycemic drug process, although higher than normal fasting blood glucose, but before going to bed there palpitation, dizziness, fatigue, hunger and other symptoms, check blood sugar before going to bed is lower than normal.

The reason is that these patients before dinner insulin or hypoglycemic drug overdose, the formation of nocturnal hypoglycemia, feedback to rise to glucagon and adrenal cortex hormone secretion increased, prompting the body break down glycogen storage, resulting in the next morning fasting blood sugar. These patients, not only can not increase the types of insulin or hypoglycemic drugs and dosages, but also to reduce the medication, or patients can lead to severe hypoglycemia, or even coma, life-threatening.

Reduced fasting blood sugar normal dosage may not

Because some of the use of insulin or hypoglycemic drugs in diabetic patients, fasting blood sugar has been normal, there is no discomfort, but patients are losing weight, urine is still positive, check blood sugar is high postprandial blood glucose was found. Normal fasting blood glucose of such diabetic patients, not only can not reduce the type of insulin or hypoglycemic agents or dose, but also to increase the dosage.

Diabetes, blood sugar is to determine the benchmark drug

Some people think that, no diabetes and no "a little" symptoms of diabetes do not need to diet and medication. In fact more and more studies show that the sugar content in urine and diabetes diagnosis, efficacy, not directly related to the prognosis, the most basic indicator is the blood sugar. If high blood sugar, with or without diabetes, should be controlled according to the standard diabetes diet and using medication.

"A little" is the typical form of diabetes symptoms, but early or mild form of diabetes, diabetic patients often no obvious symptoms, and some in the form of diabetes that only "a little" part. Therefore, if higher than normal blood glucose, with or without "a little" symptoms, should be controlled according to the standard diabetes diet and drug therapy.
