I have no idea how much you know about your illness, but I will gladly give you some facts that you should pay attention to. Good luck!
Many factors affect your sugar level
in blood
• Food: The level of sugar affects how often,
how much and what you eat.
• Physical activity: It usually decreases
need for insulin.
• Disease: The need for insulin increases.
This is especially true during fever.
• Where to inject insulin: Insulin
it is absorbed into the blood the fastest if administered
is in the stomach. Insulin administered in the arms works
slower, and at the latest, the insulin in your thighs
and buttocks.
• Mental stress and stress: Voltage
Mental health often causes an increase in the level
blood sugar. It's how much and how long it grows
the level of sugar varies depending on the situation.
• Alcohol: If you drink alcohol, you can do it easier
get a decrease in sugar (hypoglycaemia) and at the same time
it's harder to spot him. Do not drink alcohol on
empty stomach, measure the level of sugar in the blood and
possibly eat something before you go to bed.
It's easier to regulate sugar if you're running
regular lifestyle, among others in terms
diet and sport.
What is low sugar (hipoglikemia /
hypoglycaemia)
If the blood sugar falls below 4 mmol / L,
this is called hypoglycaemia. It is difficult to give
unambiguous definitions of hypoglycaemia. Most people
feels discomfort and / or gets hypoglycaemia when
sugar drops to 2.5-3 mmol / L. Limit
hypoglycaemia is different for different people. In case of
suspected hypoglycaemia is important to measure
blood sugar level.
The cause of hypoglycaemia may be excess insulin,
greater than average amount of physical activity or
not enough food. Sugar drops have different intensity and
they are often felt as unpleasant. Possible
symptoms are sweating, difficulty concentrating, shaking,
pale skin, anxiety, anger, weakness, blurred
speech and hunger. Diabetic Association
also developed an information brochure about diabetes
and low blood sugar.
Chronic complications
Misdiagnosed diabetes, i.e. high sugar levels
blood for many years, can lead to chronic
complications. People with diabetes are particularly
exposed to
• Kidney disease
• Heart attack and stroke
• Diabetic wounds and venous damage in the legs
• Damage to small veins in the eyes, which in turn can
lead to weakness of sight and blindness
• Neuropathy with reduced sensation in the legs
• Impotence in men
• Gum disease and oral infections
Regular medical checks and good treatment from
early stage may delay occurrence
consequences of the disease and prevent them. Association
Diabetics has also developed a brochure about
chronic complications / consequences of diabetes
