糖尿病分为 I 型和 II 型。I 型糖尿病是胰岛素依赖型,多在年轻时发病。II 型是非胰岛素依赖型,多与生活方式和肥胖相关。糖尿病如果血糖控制好了,病人可以不出现或减少出现并发症。糖尿病造成并发症的主要原因是过高的血糖。血糖在正常范围内,对身体是有益的。然而,一旦超出,葡萄糖就成为对机体产生毒害的物质。尤其是小血管,小神经,对血糖非常敏感。所以,血糖的并发症主要体现在小血管或小神经分布的器官上。肾:破坏肾小球结构,导致糖尿病肾病,最终尿毒症/肾衰。心脏:心肌梗塞。大脑:中风/脑梗塞。眼睛:失明。神经系统:周围神经病变。皮肤:感染,坏死。等等。
For people with the ``wheat belly,'' first try to remove highly refined wheat flour from your diet and replace it with other whole grains, meat, nuts, legumes, fish, etc. No processed products, limit calorie-intake, and walk at least 40min every day.
I've got some of the above from my Dr. when he warned me of high glucose.
But more importantly, we need to read widely and educate ourselves continually.
