 Core reminder: Diabetes has brought a "sweet" burden to countless families. Diabetes and its complications seriously affect people's quality of life, but many people still have many misunderstandings about diabetes. Let's take a look together today.

  do you know?

　　 More than 100 million people in China suffer from diabetes, and 1 person dies of diabetes every 7 seconds in the world. The number of deaths caused by diabetes reached 4.6 million each year. At present, my country has become the hardest-hit area for diabetes, and the number of diabetic patients in China ranks first in the world.

　　 Diabetes has brought a "sweet" burden to countless families. Diabetes and its complications seriously affect people's quality of life, but many people still have many misunderstandings about diabetes. Let's take a look together today.

　　Misunderstanding 1: Diabetes can be cured

　　 Many sugar friends should have seen advertisements similar to this one posted on telephone poles. The old traditional Chinese medicine ancestral secret recipe, pure natural plant purification medicine, can help you cure diabetes and get rid of sweet troubles. And some sugar friends feel that the blood sugar is controlled within the normal range after treatment, which proves that diabetes is cured.

　　 Diabetes is a chronic disease that needs life-long control. The cause is not yet clear and there is currently no cure.

　　 Misunderstanding 2: If you eat too much sugar, you will get diabetes

　　 Many people think that just like a human being, a disease should be just like its name. Diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar. Diabetes is often mentioned as type 2 diabetes.

　　 So far, no studies have proved that there is a clear association between the amount of sugar intake and diabetes. High-sugar, high-heat eating habits and too little exercise can easily lead to obesity and lead to diabetes.

　　 Misunderstanding 3: Too much insulin can become addictive

　　 Some diabetics think that taking insulin is addictive and cannot stop using it at first. In fact, insulin is originally a hypoglycemic hormone that normally exists in the human body. The reason for developing diabetes is due to insufficient insulin secretion in the body or impaired biological effects, or both.

　　 At this stage, injecting insulin to treat diabetes in the treatment of diabetes medication is a physiological therapy with minimal side effects, and there is no Internet-borne addiction problem.

　　 Misunderstanding 4 Eat sugar-free food casually

　　 There are many specialty stores for diabetics on the market, and they often stock sugar-free foods. Many diabetics don't like these foods, and think it's okay to eat more sugar-free foods.

The state stipulates that the sugar content per 100 g or 100 ml of solid or liquid sugar-free food is not more than 0.5 g, which generally refers to sweet foods that do not contain sucrose, glucose, maltose, fructose, etc., but sugar-free foods should contain sugar alcohol ( Including xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol) and other substitutes.

　　 Therefore, diabetic patients should be cautious when eating sugar-free food. Sugar-free food still has sugar. One more thing to note is that sugar-free food cannot replace drugs, and does not have the effect of lowering blood sugar by itself.
