Should diabetic patients avoid short, high-intensity exercises like High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)?
HIIT is known to be a very effective exercise for blood sugar control. However, it is important to check blood sugar carefully before and after exercise and adjust the intensity to match your fitness level to prevent hypoglycemia or injury.
-
Can sleep apnea make blood sugar control more difficult for diabetic patients?
Sleep apnea can cause hypoxia during sleep, which increases stress hormones and worsens insulin resistance. This can raise blood sugar, making diabetes management more difficult.
-
Can diabetic patients feel fatigue or lethargy due to high blood sugar?
In a state of high blood sugar, even with a lot of glucose in the blood, it cannot be absorbed into cells to create energy due to a lack of insulin or resistance. This leads to severe fatigue and lethargy.
-
Does juvenile diabetes only refer to Type 2 diabetes?
Juvenile diabetes is a general term for all types of diabetes that occur at a young age, including both insulin-dependent Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes caused by obesity and lifestyle factors.
-
Is it important for diabetic patients to keep their carbohydrate intake consistent for blood sugar management?
Keeping carbohydrate intake consistent at each meal can help stabilize blood sugar control by reducing sharp fluctuations. This is an especially important management method for patients on insulin injections.
-
Can diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occur due to factors other than insulin deficiency, such as stress, infection, or medication?
While insulin deficiency is the primary cause of DKA, it can also be triggered by various stressful situations for the body, including infections like a cold or flu, trauma, surgery, and certain medications.
-
Is it good for diabetic patients to set a specific time for carbohydrate intake for blood sugar management?
Carbohydrates have the biggest impact on blood sugar. Consuming carbohydrates at a consistent time makes blood sugar fluctuations easier to predict and manage, and it can also harmonize with the effects of insulin or medication.
-
If blood sugar is well controlled, can diabetic patients prevent all complications 100%?
Thorough blood sugar management significantly reduces the risk of complications but does not eliminate it completely. Other risk factors such as genetic factors, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia also play a complex role, so continuous management and
-
Are strange smells or tastes experienced by diabetic patients one of the symptoms of high blood sugar?
If blood sugar levels remain very high, diabetic ketoacidosis can occur, which may cause a strange smell in the breath, like acetone, or an unusual taste. This is an emergency situation requiring immediate medical attention.
-
When blood sugar drops below the normal range (hypoglycemia), can symptoms such as cold sweats, heart palpitations, and trembling occur?
Hypoglycemia triggers the body to secrete stress hormones to get energy, causing various symptoms like cold sweats, increased heart rate, and trembling. If hypoglycemia worsens, it can lead to loss of consciousness, so quick action is necessary.
