Many people have this question, blood sugar is so important, diabetic patients need lifelong medication, both dietary control and exercise, resulting in a part of the people do not adhere to, especially before the emergence of complications, simply do not realize the importance of blood glucose, do not monitor blood glucose, normal eating and drinking, intermittent medication. Today we will talk to you about what is wrong with blood sugar? Why is it so important?

There are three main nutrients in the human body, distributed as glucose, fat, and protein. It also includes inorganic salts, vitamins, and water. Together, they are involved in the metabolism of substances in our organism, energy supply, etc.

I. Sources of sugar:

Sugar in food mainly refers to the digestion and absorption of starch + decomposition of liver glycogen + conversion of non-glycans (amino acids, fats, etc.), which are converted into blood glucose in the body through these three pathways.

Second, where the sugars go:

synthesizeLiver glycogen + muscle glycogen;oxidative decompositionfor carbon dioxide and water + energy;isomerization (chemistry)for fats, certain amino acids, etc.

The blood sugar in the body is maintained at a certain range, and symptoms can occur accordingly when it is high or low.

Third, what happens when blood sugar is low?

Less than 2.8 mmol/LInsufficient functioning of the tissues in the brain, convulsions, coma, palpitations, sweating, weakness, and other symptoms.

Fourth, what happens when blood sugar is high

Fasting blood glucose is greater than 7 mmol/L, sugar will be excreted from the urine, and it is possible to have the symptoms of diabetes mellitus three more than one, more drinking, more eating, more urination, and loss of weight.

Therefore, in the same cell, the metabolism of sugars, lipids and proteins is carried out simultaneously, and the three can be converted into each other, while the conversion is conditional and mutually restrictive. Sugar can be converted to fat in large quantities when it is sufficient, while fat cannot be converted to sugar in large quantities. The three major organic matter can provide energy for life activities, but under normal circumstances, the energy needed for life activities are mainly supplied by the oxidative decomposition of sugar. Only when sugar metabolism is impaired is energy supplied by the oxidative decomposition of fats and proteins. When protein decomposition increases, the body weight of humans and animals will be reduced, the body's immune function decreases, jeopardizing normal life activities.

Many people think that diseases like hypertension and hyperlipidemia are better than diabetes because diabetes can't eat sugar, whereas people with hypertension and hyperlipidemia don't need to control their sugar.

This statement is very wrong! People with high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, coronary heart disease and even young people need to control their sugar!

The former FDA commissioner of the United States specifically admitted fault in the Washington Post, saying that, for so many years, the dietary advice we gave was a failure. Because the previous U.S. government believed that more sugar intake is not harmful to the body. But in recent years, the number of cardiovascular diseases in the United States has increased, and the last study showed that sugar was the culprit. For this reason, the U.S. legislated against adding sugar to food.

As early as 2013, the World Health Organization recommended that adults should not consume more than 50g of free sugars per day, preferably no more than 25g. Free sugars in this context refer to sucrose or sugars in honey, syrups, fruit juices, fruit juice concentrates, and do not include the natural sugars contained in fresh fruits, vegetables or milk.

What is the amount of sugar in Coke and Sprite? 250ml of Coke contains 26.5g of sugar, 250ml of Sprite contains 27.5g of sugar, and 250ml of ice-sugar pear contains 62.5g of sugar, which are all relatively large amounts.

Like to drink Coke, Sprite many of the young people are fat, which is due to excessive calorie intake, and because of the single nutrient in these drinks, long-term drinking these drinks, although the emergence of obesity, but many people have serious nutrient deficiencies, there is a tendency to malnutrition.

Obesity will lead to increased lipoprotein cholesterol in the body, dyslipidemia, long-term dyslipidemia, will cause lipid deposition on blood vessels, decreased elasticity of blood vessels, vascular sclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

Controlling sugar intake should be something we should be very aware of in our lives, and a diabetic diet should be a healthy diet for all. Excessive intake of sugary foods is not recommended for all groups of people. High daily sugar intake can lead to Alzheimer's disease, degenerative encephalopathy, damage to the skin's elastin and collagen, and so on, in addition to diabetes, over-nutrition, weight gain, gout, and hardening of the blood vessels. So eating too much sugar can do a lot of harm but no good.

In our life, we should do to reduce the added sugar in snacks, cakes, drinks, fruit juice, etc., and eat more natural ingredients, which simply means that what grows on the tree and in the ground is the healthiest. In order to increase the flavor of jerky, dried meat and other foods, which also add a lot of sugar, less to do braised meat and other dishes that require added sugar and reduce ketchup and other sugary sauces.

I'm Dr. Sun, pay attention to Dr. Sun talk about sugar, continue to learn more quality health knowledge, help please like, have questions please leave a message, will reply!

Normal people also need to control their sugar intake.

Excess sugar intake in the body tends to form high blood sugar. Excess sugar accumulates in the body and can be converted into fat in the body's cells. This leads to an increase in blood pressure and blood lipids. And then the formation of obesity.

When it comes to sugar, people often mistakenly think that there are only sweetened sucrose and fructose. And ignore the invisible sugar in food without sweet flavor, such as rice, flour, starch contained in the invisible sugar. After being absorbed by the body, it is hydrolyzed in the body and becomes sweet oligosaccharide.

Therefore, it is important to control the intake of not only sweetened oligosaccharides but also invisible sugars in our lives.

What is the standard for sugar intake then. Just use standard weight. If you're overweight. Then we should strictly limit the intake of sugar. Prevent excessive obesity, affecting people's health.

Yes, people with high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol also need to control sugar. These two groups of people are high risk of diabetes, early control of sugar to avoid the risk of elevated blood sugar is very important. Eat a sensible diet, a combination of meat and vegetables, less salt and sugar, a regular routine, and maintain a good state of mind.

Thanks for the invite.

People with high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol also need to control sugar. Sugar, although it doesn't sound like it has much to do with blood pressure and blood cholesterol, can actually affect people with high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol indirectly. Sugar and fat can be converted into each other, which means that if too much sugar is consumed, more fat may be synthesized.

Hypertriglyceridemia in patients with hyperlipidemia is often caused by excessive triglyceride levels in the blood. Although this is closely related to our usual excessive intake of fats and oils and lack of exercise, it is also very likely to be caused by excessive intake of sweets and sugar. Excessive glucose intake, in the case of the cells can not be fully utilized will be temporarily stored as glycogen, glycogen can be in our lack of glucose energy to stabilize blood glucose by breaking down again, however, if the sugar intake is too much, the blood glucose concentration has been in a higher state, glycogen can not be utilized, and will continue to be stored, and ultimately had to be sent to the liver, converted into fat, so more Sugar will likewise be converted into triglycerides, which will not only raise blood lipids, but may also increase the load on the liver, accumulating fat in the liver and inducing fatty liver.

So do people with high blood pressure also need to control their sugar? Naturally, they do.

In fact, high blood pressure patients are usually accompanied by high blood sugar, high blood lipids, and even high uric acid symptoms, high blood pressure triggering factors, most of the causes and "blood vessel obstruction" related to blood vessel blockage blood flow is not smooth, the side wall of the blood vessel pressure is strong, will cause high blood pressure conditions. How does glucose affect blood vessel health?

If we daily total intake of too much sugar, free glucose in the blood (can also be due to high oil and high fat food intake is too much, blood cholesterol, triglycerides are also higher, or sugar intake is too much, resulting in too much triglycerides in the blood) higher, flow through the time is more likely to scratch the blood vessel wall, the injured blood vessel wall is prone to attract platelets to stop the accumulation of blood, and love to get together with the low-density lipoproteins will come to get together, so that the injured parts of the accumulation of more lipoproteins, fibrin, easily induce atherosclerosis. So that the injured parts of the accumulation of more lipoproteins, fibrin, easy to induce atherosclerosis, blood vessel walls become narrow, impede blood flow.

In short, it is better for patients with three highs to control sugar, not only for patients with three highs, but also for the general public to control the intake of sugar. Dietary guidelines clearly put forward these ideas, for example, the daily intake of "free sugar" does not exceed 50g, preferably within 25g, free sugar means that in addition to the natural sugar contained in the food itself, the artificial addition of sucrose, glucose and other ingredients, 25g how much? For example, if we drink a bottle of ordinary cola with 10~12% sugar content, the sugar in it is almost 20~25g already, so actually this limit is quite strict. We will also be from other places intake of carbohydrates (eventually converted to glucose), and these dietary guidelines are in fact to give us limited recommendations, such as fruit intake of no more than 200 ~ 400g per day (about the amount of a large apple), the intake of staple foods in the 250 ~ 400g (that is, three small bowls of rice + 1 ~ 2 small potatoes of the amount of), but a lot of friends daily sugar intake Obviously is over the limit.

A diet high in sugar is not good for our health, he will affect blood sugar, increase the chances of inducing diabetes, there are a number of new studies have found that a high-carbon diet may also increase cellular inflammation, increase the likelihood of inducing a variety of cardiovascular diseases, but also makes it easier for us to be overweight or obese, and sugar intake is crazy stimulate the brain's release of dopamine (a hormone to make a person happy), we are very easy to become addicted to sugar, so as to consume more and more sugar. Favorite sugar actually comes from our DNA in ancient times, our ancestors due to food scarcity, must hunt every day to face danger, so the desire for energy is very serious, and glucose is the most basic source of energy, favorite sugar we have no choice, to say that the initiative to control may be very difficult, but for the sake of health, we can always remind ourselves not to consume too much sugar, and occasional sweets can not hurt, can be Appropriate use of sugar substitute food instead of sucrose, glucose, more involved in some other favorite activities, forget about eating this thing.

The pathogenesis of hyperglycemia is the absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin, resulting in the inability of cells to fully utilize glucose, and consequently, blood glucose remains high.

Controlling hyperglycemia is not about going on a sugar diet, it's about addressing sugar absorption.

For patients with three highs, lifestyle changes, a balanced diet, maintaining a normal body weight, supplemented by moderate exercise is the cheapest, healthiest and most effective way to control blood sugar.

Dietary advice: low oil, high fiber as the original choice.

Diabetic patients, usually need to restrain the intake of fast-absorbing monosaccharides, such as fruits, fruit juices, milk tea, etc. They are high in calories, but also cause insulin secretion to accelerate. In addition to their high calorie content, they will also accelerate the secretion of insulin, resulting in a rise in blood glucose.

High blood sugar control is more than necessary.

But if there is no high blood sugar people suffer from high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol must not control sugar, if too much sugar intake is easy to cause complications, that is, you can develop diabetes.

Controlling sugar intake is something everyone needs to do. Excessive sugar intake will increase the burden on the pancreas and in the long run will increase the blood glucose level, resulting in diabetes and endocrine disruption.

All should be controlled, diabetes is not formed in a day or two, usually have to pay attention to it
