How much is blood sugar of old people normal? How to prevent hyperglycemia

Now many elderly people pay more attention to their health, many people also bought a blood glucose meter at home, so do you know how much blood glucose measurement is within the normal range? How much blood glucose of diabetic patients? Let's have a look.

How much blood sugar is normal in the elderly

1. If the glucose tolerance is 140-200 mg / dl (7.8-11.1 mmol / L) for 2 hours, it means impaired glucose tolerance. If the fasting blood glucose 110-126 mg / dl (6.1-7.0 mmol / L) was impaired, diabetes was not diagnosed.

2. If postprandial blood glucose < 140mg / dl (7.8mmol / L) and fasting blood glucose < 100mg / dl (5.6mmol / L), diabetes can be excluded.

If you look at the article carefully, you will find that there are two situations when measuring blood glucose, one is fasting, the other is after meals. If you want to measure the accurate fasting blood glucose, then it is recommended that you can measure it after getting up in the morning, so the data is accurate.

In addition, the blood sugar after meals is higher than the fasting blood sugar. What's the matter? Don't worry, it's a normal phenomenon. All people's blood sugar after meals will rise. Because a lot of rice, vegetables, meat and so on are added during meals, blood sugar will rise during digestion and absorption.

If you want the blood glucose error before and after meals not too big, maintain a relatively stable blood glucose value, then you can eat some low G food. Low G foods include brown rice, chickpeas and yams, whole wheat bread and so on. Using these foods instead of white rice and white flour will not raise blood sugar too much.

How much blood sugar is diabetes

1. Diabetes mellitus

Fasting: venous (whole blood) & Ge; 6.1, capillary & Ge; 6.1, venous (plasma) & Ge; 7.0.

2 hours after taking glucose: venous (whole blood) & Ge; 10.0, capillary & Ge; 11.1, venous (plasma) & Ge; 11.1.

(1) Diabetes can be diagnosed if one of the following criteria is met: (WHO criteria)

① There were typical symptoms of diabetes, and the blood glucose was higher than 11.1mmol/l (200mg / dl) at any time.

② Fasting blood glucose was higher than 7.8 mmol / L (140 mg / dl) twice or more.

③ If the fasting blood glucose is not more than 7.8 mmol / L, the patients suspected of diabetes can do oral glucose tolerance test, and the blood glucose is more than 11.1 mmol / L 2 hours after taking glucose. If there is no symptom of diabetes, another blood glucose over 11.1mmol/l is needed. The above blood glucose values were the concentration of venous plasma glucose.

(2) Patients who meet one of the three criteria will repeat the above examination on another day. If they still meet one of the three criteria, they will be diagnosed as diabetes: (American Diabetes Association)

① There were symptoms of diabetes, and the blood glucose was 11.1 mmol / L.

② 0 mmol / L.

③ Glucose tolerance test 2 hours blood glucose & Ge; 11.1mmol/l. OGTT is still carried out according to the requirements of who.

2. Impaired glucose tolerance

Fasting: venous (whole blood) 6.1, capillary 6.1, venous (plasma) 7.0.

2 hours after taking glucose: vein (whole blood) & Ge; 6.7, capillary & Ge; 7.8, vein (plasma) & Ge; 7.8.

It means to have a peaceful mind

3. Impaired fasting blood glucose

Fasting: 6.1 venous (whole blood), 5.6,6.1 capillary, 5.6,7.0 venous (plasma) & Ge; 6.1.

2 hours after taking glucose: venous (whole blood) 6.7, capillary (blood) 7.8, venous (plasma) 7.8.

Prevention of hyperglycemia

Heart adjustment

It means to have a peaceful mind. To be kind to others, calm and patient, have a tolerant heart, will be far away from insomnia, upset and anxiety. Mentality directly affects our health and our life. It's up to us to grasp and control our health.

Life goes on, exercise goes on. Especially for patients with diabetes, exercise is one of the five carriages to control blood sugar, so we must 'step forward'. Therefore, the importance of regular exercise of muscles and bones and good operation of Qi and blood in the whole body for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications is obvious.

Be kind, calm and patient

Adjust to eat

The reasonable diet of diabetic patients is very important. If the diet is not well controlled, the blood sugar must be poorly controlled. Therefore, diabetes patients must 'keep their mouths shut', the key is to control the total amount, and the collocation should be reasonable.

That is to say, when you are seven or eight full, you should focus on light vegetarianism, and pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables and fine collocation. It is the so-called 'plain food with meat and vegetables, fruits and vegetables are better than meat. Agaric mushroom and taro, just cheat your stomach.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diabetic patients can eat more bitter food, such as balsam pear. Modern pharmacological studies have found that Momordica saponins in Momordica charantia have similar effects to insulin.
