When it comes to health, blood sugar control is crucial for many people, especially diabetics. So how do you know if your blood sugar is well controlled? In fact, our body will quietly give "hints" after eating, as long as we pay attention to these signals, we can know in our hearts. Today, let's talk about the common behaviors of people with high blood sugar after meals with a scientific and rigorous attitude, so that everyone can better protect their health.

Let's talk about Lao Wang, he is a diabetic and usually pays attention to his physical condition. For a while, he found that every time he finished eating, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he had to sleep for a while. At first, he thought that this might be normal, after all, it is easy to get sleepy when he is full. But then he found that this situation was becoming more and more frequent, and the sleepiness was particularly strong, which made him muttered a little in his heart.

In fact, for ordinary people, it is because the body is busy digesting food after eating, and a large amount of blood runs to the gastrointestinal tract, and the blood supply to the brain is relatively reduced, so they will feel a little sleepy. But it's a different story for people with diabetes, especially those who don't eat regularly. When they eat a lot of sugary foods at once, their blood sugar rises dramatically like a roller coaster. The insulin in our body is originally responsible for transporting glucose to the cells, so that the cells can absorb and use it to supply energy to the body. However, diabetic patients either have insufficient insulin secretion, or the body is resistant to insulin, which causes cells to not be able to absorb glucose properly, and the body does not get enough energy, and people will feel tired and dizzy. Like Lao Wang, he is always sleepy after meals, but he can't take it lightly. If the blood sugar exceeds 1.0mmol/L at 0 hours after a meal, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible and ask the doctor to help adjust the treatment plan, otherwise long-term hyperglycemia will not only make the cerebral blood supply insufficiency more and more serious, but also may cause various complications, which can be a big trouble.

There are also some diabetic patients who often have such distress: not long after eating, they feel hungry again, as if they can't eat enough. What's going on here? It all starts with insulin. Insulin is like a "key" that opens the "door" of the cell for glucose to enter and be used by the body. If the secretion of insulin is insufficient, the blood sugar is high, but the cells are "hungry" because the glucose cannot enter. When the body doesn't get energy, it will constantly send out "hunger signals", making people feel that they are not full. For friends with high blood sugar, you can pay more attention to your diet. You can eat more low-sugar, low-fat, high-fiber foods, like a variety of fresh vegetables, rich in vitamins and dietary fiber; For fruits, you can also choose some with relatively low sugar content, such as apples and grapefruits. When eating, don't eat too much, you have to control the amount, otherwise you will eat too much sugar, and your blood sugar will rise again.

In addition to feeling sleepy and hungry after eating, another common manifestation is that you always feel thirsty and always want to drink water. This is because when blood sugar is too high, the osmotic pressure in the body increases, like an "emergency signal" to the kidneys, which will excrete more urine and excrete excess sugar. However, in the process, a large amount of water in the body is also lost, and people will naturally feel thirsty. Many diabetics will find that they are not only thirsty after eating, but also run to the toilet all the time, and the amount of urine is more than before, which is the "blame" of high blood sugar.

Diabetics should be reminded not to wait until they are thirsty to think about drinking water. Some patients are thirsty because the central nervous system is stimulated by high blood sugar for a long time, and the body's sensitivity to water deficiency decreases, even if the body is already dehydrated, they do not feel thirsty. But this does not mean that the body is not short of water, if you do not replenish water in time, it can be a big problem. Dehydration can lead to dehydration, which can further elevate blood sugar and, in severe cases, damage the nervous system and kidneys. So, even if you don't feel thirsty, you should drink some water. Drinking water has many benefits for the body, it can thin the blood, reduce blood sugar concentration, prevent atherosclerosis, and keep blood sugar stable.
