Although our living standards have been rapidly improving, many people have developed bad habits that are causing their health to deteriorate.
Especially nowadays, most people are suffering from chronic diseases. One of the most common chronic diseases is high blood sugar. If the blood sugar in the body rises without being controlled, it is very likely to trigger diabetes or other complications, causing dual torment to both the body and mind.
When blood sugar rises, the body also gives “hints”. Please pay attention and don’t overlook them.
As blood sugar levels rise in the body, the body also gives some hints, especially the following points. I hope you can pay attention promptly and don’t miss out, and it’s best to go to the hospital for a check-up early on.
Decline in vision
Most people may think that their declining vision is related to frequently using electronic devices. However, besides this reason, the decline in vision may also be closely related to the increase in blood sugar in the body.
Because as blood sugar levels rise, the concentration of blood in our body also increases. Since the blood vessels in the eye area are relatively small, blood cannot supply the necessary nutrients to the eyes, which can eventually affect vision. If not taken seriously for a long time, it may even lead to temporary blindness.
Itchy skin
For many people, itchy skin is a very normal manifestation. If there is an allergy or a skin-related disease, itching often accompanies it. In addition, if the blood sugar in the body rises, itching of the skin may also occur.
Therefore, if you feel that your skin is noticeably itchy for a period of time, it is very likely that your blood sugar has increased. I hope you don’t ignore this.
Dry mouth and tongue
Many people with high blood sugar often experience dry mouth and tongue in the early stages of elevated blood sugar. At this time, the patient can only relieve thirst by drinking a large amount of water, which also increases urination.
So if you notice a series of these abnormal symptoms in yourself for a period of time, it may be a sign of high blood sugar beckoning to you. I urge you to take it seriously and not overlook it.
Weight loss
For some people who are trying to lose weight, noticing a decrease in weight can be very exciting. However, if you are not actively trying to lose weight, and your diet is regular, but you still observe a significant weight loss, it may be closely related to high blood sugar. Therefore, when such symptoms occur, I advise you to promptly go to the hospital to check your blood sugar and not take it lightly.
To control blood sugar, besides avoiding consuming too many sweets and following the doctor’s advice on taking medications at specific times and amounts, making the following dietary adjustments may help stabilize blood sugar.
For people with high blood sugar, remember “do not eat 2 things before meals, do not rush 2 things after meals,” it may help stabilize blood sugar.
Do not eat 2 things before meals
Eggs
If you are diagnosed with high blood sugar, it is recommended that you avoid eating eggs before meals. If you eat eggs before consuming staple foods, it may lead to excessive intake of carbohydrates at once, further raising blood sugar levels, which could even lead to uncontrollable high blood sugar. So, I hope you pay attention to this.
Fruits
Most people should have heard that eating fruits moderately is beneficial for health, but if you have elevated blood sugar, it is advisable not to eat fruits before meals because fruits contain a certain amount of fructose which is easily absorbed by the body.
Eating fruits after meals may also lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. Eating fruits before meals may trigger a spike in blood sugar, even reaching uncontrollable levels, so I hope you pay attention and heed this advice.
Do not rush 2 things after meals
Do not rush to lie down
Some people tend to be lazy and unwilling to move after meals, and they may habitually lie down on the sofa or bed to use their phones.
However, lying down immediately after meals could affect the body’s metabolism and burden the kidneys, even leading to conflict in the pancreatic system. At this stage, our blood sugar is already relatively high, which can easily lead to uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
Do not rush to drink water
If you inadvertently eat too many heavy-flavored foods during meals, you may feel very thirsty. Some people may unconsciously reach for water. However, for those with high blood sugar, it is not recommended to drink water immediately after meals, as it could accelerate the body’s digestion and absorption, leading to excessive absorption of sugar components, causing blood sugar to rise.
