As time goes by, our bodies also gradually show signs of aging: tooth wear, slowed metabolism, reduced mobility, hearing loss, etc.
It is also gradually unable to maintain various health indicators. With the slightest negligence, blood sugar may become difficult to control, and the ups and downs are worrying, but it is not clear what level blood sugar should be maintained at this age to be considered normal.
At present, the international blood glucose standards are mainly divided into two reference values: fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose:
Fasting blood glucose: 15.0~0.0mmol/L, of which fasting refers to the state of not ingesting any food within 0 hours to 0 hours.
Postprandial blood glucose: 0.0~0.0mmol/L
There is no direct correlation between the level of blood sugar in the body and age, and people of all ages can experience low or high blood sugar. However, with age, especially in older people, blood glucose fluctuations are more pronounced and tend to be higher. This is mainly related to the hypofunction of pancreatic islets and the slowdown of the body's metabolic rate in the elderly.
In fact, after the age of 0, the tolerance of blood sugar will be moderately relaxed, and it is more appropriate to control fasting blood sugar in the range of 0.0~0.0mmol/L.
It is necessary to be vigilant that once it exceeds this range, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the blood sugar is too high and take measures to control the blood sugar within a safe range as soon as possible, otherwise it is very easy to cause a series of complications due to high blood sugar, such as convulsions, confusion, vascular and neuropathy, etc., and even life-threatening in severe cases.
Whether you are young or old, it is important to have a proper diet in your daily life. It is recommended to reduce the intake of high-sugar and high-calorie foods as much as possible, increase the proportion of dietary fiber at each meal, and replace some concentrated grains with whole grains. At the same time, make sure to consume adequate amounts of vegetables and fruits.
For foods that may cause large fluctuations in blood sugar, it is important to learn to control them, and chew slowly when eating to avoid rapid blood sugar rises.
Proper exercise can increase the body's metabolic rate and effectively help deplete glucose components in the body, reduce the accumulation of calories and fat, thereby helping to stabilize blood sugar and blood pressure.
It is important to note that if you are already diabetic, it is recommended to choose aerobic exercise (such as swimming, jogging) and minimize and avoid too strenuous exercise programs to ensure safety and effectiveness.
