Dear Xenia!
Regarding the oral contraceptive drug "Jess", the same principles apply as when taking other OK. Normal stools do not affect the effectiveness of the tablets in any way, however, in case of indigestion, the contraceptive effect of the drug may decrease, so in case of diarrhea, follow the rules for adjusting the dose of the drug recommended by the manufacturer.
"Jess" and diarrhea
The manufacturer of this oral contraceptive claims that if liquefied stools appear once 4 or more hours after taking your next pill, then the contraceptive effect is preserved and it is not necessary to drink a second pill.
Efficiency oral contraceptives decreases if diarrhea begins within 4 hours after taking the current active tablet or if diarrhea continues for a long period of time regardless of taking a contraceptive.
If a single liquid stool occurred within 4 hours after taking the pill, then the pill may well come out with feces, and the required dose of hormones will not have time to be absorbed in the intestines, so on this day you need to take another, second, pill. It is advisable to drink the drug no later than 12 hours after taking the first tablet. In this case, the effectiveness of OK will remain, and there is no need to use additional contraceptives. If you were unable to take an additional tablet within 12 hours of the previous one, you should consider this situation as a missed tablet. This means that you should continue taking your pills as usual, but use additional contraception until your period arrives.
If the diarrhea continues and does not stop within 2 to 3 days, it may be a symptom of an intestinal infection, which means you may need to see a specialist. Against the background of prolonged diarrhea, the contraceptive effect of "Jess" is significantly reduced. However, taking the tablets must be continued as usual, i.e. one tablet a day, however, in parallel, you will have to use other means of protection against pregnancy throughout the entire period of intestinal upset and another 7 days after it ends. If diarrhea occurs in the last week of taking Jess, then you will have to skip the weekly break (or placebo pills) and start a new pack immediately after the end of the active pills. The same rules apply in case of vomiting during the period of taking "Jess".
In your case, when the diarrhea started 5 hours after taking the pill and quickly ended, there is no need to take an additional pill that day. Continue taking "Jess" as usual.
Interaction of drugs for diarrhea and "Jess"
As for Loperamide, which you took to stop loose stools, it does not affect the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, as well as its analogues: Diara, Imodium, Lopedium, Enterobene. For the treatment of intestinal disorders, nifuroxazide preparations (Enterofuril, Ersefuril, etc.) can also be used, which also do not reduce the effectiveness of Jess.
But sorbents, on the contrary, can interfere with the absorption of hormones in the intestine. If you are prescribed drugs such as Enterosgel or activated charcoal, remember that they can only be taken 2 hours before the next Jess tablet or 4 hours after it.
Sincerely, Xenia.
Despite the fact that much has been said about the dangers of sugar, it is a useful element and the main source of energy for the human body. Without sugar and the energy that is produced with its participation, a person would not even be able to lift a finger. But still, it should be remembered that an excess of sugar in the blood is no less harmful than its lack.
The indicator of glucose in human blood during the day is constantly changing, as well as the level one hour after eating, for example. After eating, the level of its content rises sharply, and after a few hours, blood sugar decreases and returns to normal.
In addition, the amount of sugar in the blood can be directly related to emotional and physical stress. However, each person should monitor their sugar levels and control them as much as possible.
From the above, it follows that blood for sugar analysis is taken from the patient on an empty stomach, and not an hour after eating! After eating, at least eight hours should pass.
Indicators of the norm of sugar in the blood do not depend on the gender of a person and are the same for both men and women.
But in the female body, the percentage of cholesterol digestibility directly depends on what is the norm of sugar. The sex hormones of women are better adapted to the excretion of cholesterol, which is why, by nature, men are much larger than women.
Excessive weight is most often observed in those women in whose body hormonal disorders have occurred in the digestive system and the blood sugar rate is constantly increased, and not only an hour after eating, for example.
When is a blood test ordered?
To determine the patient's sugar is normal, it is necessary to take a blood sample. Most often, this analysis is needed to determine:
- the presence or absence of diabetes;
- the course of diabetes, that is, possible fluctuations in sugar levels;
- the presence of gestational diabetes in pregnant women;
- detection of hypoglycemia.
Based on this simple analysis, it is possible to identify the presence of any of the above diseases in a patient or confirm their absence. If any diagnosis is confirmed, then urgent measures must be taken to identify the cause of the disease.
Preparing to donate blood for analysis
Blood sampling for this analysis is carried out only a few hours after eating, it is possible an hour before, but most importantly, not on a full stomach. This is necessary in order to fix the highest point of the increase in blood sugar, the highest level. The patient must be sure to know, because the indicators of the study directly depend on this.
What kind of food the patient ate before taking the test does not matter, since sugar will rise in any case. After the last meal, at least an hour should pass, and even better - two, since it is during this period that the blood glucose value reaches its peak.
The only condition is that no diets can be used before donating blood, otherwise the results of the analysis will be biased, this applies to failure not in an hour, but at least in a few hours.
You should not go for blood tests after a stormy feast, accompanied by the use of strong drinks and plentiful food. In this case, sugar indicators will certainly be overestimated, because alcohol increases glucose levels by almost 1.5 times. You can not donate blood for analysis after a heart attack, severe injuries and excessive physical activity.
During pregnancy, there are other evaluation criteria, since during this period the woman's blood sugar level is slightly elevated. To determine the true sugar levels in pregnant women, blood is taken from them on an empty stomach.
Normal blood sugar after eating
There are certain indicators of blood sugar levels that are considered normal, they are shown in the table.
Even with absolutely healthy person blood glucose levels one hour after eating will inevitably rise. This is due to the ingestion of a certain amount of calories in the body.
But each organism has an individual reaction rate to certain factors in the form of food that affect the body.
When to talk about high blood sugar after eating
If, as a result of the analysis, indicators of 11.1 mmol / l and above were detected, this indicates that the sugar level is elevated, and diabetes mellitus may develop in the body. But there may be other factors that have led to high blood sugar levels. These include:
- heart attack;
- stress;
- taking large doses of certain drugs;
- Cushing's disease;
- excess growth hormone.
In order to confirm or refute the results of studies, in such cases it is recommended to re-analyze. The same applies to women during pregnancy, because they, unlike all other people, have a higher glucose rate.
Sugar after eating is lowered
There are also reverse reactions, in which an hour after eating, the blood sugar level is significantly lowered. In this case, we are talking about the development of hypoglycemia in the body. But this pathology can also occur with high sugar levels.
If, however, sugar tests give high readings for a long time, and do not change every hour or more after a meal, then the patient should urgently take measures to reduce the level, and at the same time identify the reason why this increase occurs.
If the analysis of sugar in women gives an indicator of less than 2.2 mmol / l, and in men - less than 2.8 mmol / l, then we can talk about the presence of insulinoma in the body - a tumor that occurs due to excessive production of insulin by pancreatic cells. Such indicators can be observed an hour or more after eating.
In such a situation, an additional examination of the patient and the delivery of an appropriate analysis for the detection of a tumor are required. This is necessary to prevent further development of cancer cells.
Blood test diagnostics
In medical practice, cases are known when patients received false results of blood sugar tests. These errors are due to the fact that blood sampling must be carried out on an empty stomach, and not an hour or two hours after a meal, when sugar is normally already elevated.
Thus, the result will be the most reliable, because there are many foods that increase glucose levels.
By doing an analysis after eating, the patient can get high rates, which, in fact, were provoked by the use of a particular product.
When going to the clinic for a blood test, it is better to refuse breakfast altogether or make some food restrictions. Only in this case it is possible to achieve the most accurate result. In principle, more can be done to eliminate suspicions, if any.
What not to eat before donating blood for sugar
In order to get true results on blood sugar, it is necessary to exclude foods that can affect glucose levels before testing:
flour products:
- pies,
- vareniki,
- bread,
- buns;
all kinds of sweets
- jam,
- chocolate,
other products:
- pineapples,
- bananas,
- corn,
- eggs,
- beets,
- beans.
Any of the above foods raises the level of sugar in the body very quickly. Therefore, if you do an analysis two hours after their use, the result will necessarily be false. And if the patient still decides to eat before donating blood, then he should choose one of those products that have minimal effect on increasing glucose. It can be:
- vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, any greens, bell pepper, carrots, spinach;
- fruits in minimal quantities - strawberries, oranges, grapefruit, apples, lemon, cranberries;
- mushrooms;
- cereals - rice, buckwheat.
Any of these products can be eaten before the tests, and their use will practically not affect the result in any way, sugar will be all in the same norm. You should also pay attention to the state of your body after eating a particular product.
Symptoms such as dry mouth, nausea, thirst should not be ignored, because they may indicate a significant increase in blood glucose levels. And the delivery of tests in such a case would be inappropriate.
In such a situation, the doctor should prescribe the patient a second test. This is the only way to determine the cause of high sugar or, conversely, a very low indicator in the blood.
A few years ago, Professor Satchidananda Panda of the world-famous Salk Institute in California proved that mice fed a fatty meal every 8 hours were healthier and leaner than mice fed the same meal whenever they wished. In more recent studies, scientists have stretched the “hungry” periods from 12 to 15 hours. And they again found that mice that ate once every 12 hours were healthier and leaner than their counterparts that ate the same amount of food, but at any time.
But will the timing of meals affect people's health? To test the hunch, the BBC's Trust Me I'm a Doctor invited 16 volunteers to participate in a 10-week study led by Dr Jonathan Johnston at the University of Surrey.
At the beginning of the study, the volunteers measured the amount of fat, blood sugar, blood lipids (fats) and cholesterol levels. Then they were randomly divided into two teams: "red" and "blue".
The Blues were to eat as usual. And the “red” scientists were asked to stick to their usual diet, but move breakfast 1.5 hours later, and dinner 1.5 hours earlier. This means that 3 extra hours they did not eat during the day. Everyone kept a food and sleep diary to ensure they were eating the same amount of food as usual.
Numerous studies show that prolonged periods without food have a positive effect on the body. In addition, the body handles calories differently at different times of the day. According to Johnston, the worst time to consume sugar and fat is late at night, when blood levels of these substances are already high.
Trust Me I'm a Doctor host Chris Van Tulleken conducted the experiment on himself: he took a blood test in the morning, then had breakfast at 10 in the morning with eggs with sausages and bacon. Immediately after eating, blood was taken from him again for analysis and blood was taken every half an hour for several hours.
12 hours later, at 10:00 pm, Chris ate the same set of foods that he ate for breakfast. And again, for several hours, blood was taken from him every half an hour before he went to bed.
Blood tests showed that after breakfast, blood sugar levels returned to normal fairly quickly, and blood fat levels began to drop after about three hours. In the evening, after the same meal, blood sugar levels remained high. long time, and the level of fats continued to rise even 4 hours after eating.
So Johnston is right, our body does not like it when we eat a lot at night. Midnight snacks have a worse effect on our body than food eaten at the beginning of the day. So you should stick to the proverb: breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a beggar. If you want to eat something fatty and fried, eat it in the morning.
Let's go back to the main experiment: what happened to the subjects who participated in the experiment for 10 weeks?
It turned out that volunteers from the "red" group, who ate breakfast later and had dinner earlier, on average, lost more fat. Blood tests showed significant reductions in sugar and cholesterol levels compared to the Blues who ate as usual.
You may not be able to increase the time intervals between meals. This is not always compatible with work and personal schedules. But what you can definitely do is avoid eating cheeseburgers at night.
Sugar levels throughout the day can vary in one direction or another, and the lowest level of glucose in the blood falls on the interval of 3-4 hours of the night. The correct numbers characteristic of the disease can be obtained at 7 o'clock in the morning.
On an empty stomach, the norm is from 3.4 to 5.5 units. The maximum level of glucose is fixed in the daytime at about 15 hours. Its value can be in the range from 6.4 to 7.9 units. That is why it is recommended to measure the level of glucose in the blood after a meal exactly two hours later. After this interval, glucose begins to gradually decrease.
Sugar analysis is carried out in order to reject or verify the presence of diabetes, to identify any disease, as well as to control sugar levels when diagnosing an ailment, as well as to detect gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
It is necessary to find out how much blood sugar should be after eating, as well as on an empty stomach, what is their norm in a child and an adult? When is type 2 diabetes diagnosed in adults and children, and why is a glucometer needed?
What is the norm of glucose should be?
Usually, the level of glucose in the blood is determined a couple of times a day - an analysis is carried out throughout the day, each time the patient has taken food. For any type of disease, the required number of studies during one day is determined. The level of sugar during the day can rise or fall, and this is a normal process in the human body. For example, it is slightly higher in the evening and lower in the morning.
It is permissible to measure blood sugar at home, a special device, a glucometer, will help with this. But it is worth considering that after eating a person's blood glucose level rises, and this does not mean that he has diabetes. The normal indicator of a healthy person, regardless of gender, is 5.5 units on an empty stomach.
If blood sugar is elevated, then repeated studies are carried out (3 times), which allows you to consider the dynamics of changes in more detail. In addition, due to control, you can control the patient's condition and avoid serious complications.
Table of normal blood sugar levels:
- During the day, sugar in a person's biological fluid should be on an empty stomach from 3.4 to 5.6 units (in children too).
- During the lunch period, before meals, and also before dinner in the evening, up to 6.1 units are considered to be the norm.
- One hour after the patient has eaten, sugar rises to 8.9 units, and this is the norm.
- Two hours after eating, blood glucose already drops to 6.8 units.
- At night, if you measure the blood sugar of a healthy person, it can be up to 3.9 units, everything above this figure is not normal.
When blood sugar levels exceed 7-10 units on an empty stomach, then a second study is carried out, a test for glucose tolerance. Upon receipt of a repeated result with data such as 7-10 units, diabetes of the second or first type is diagnosed.
At the first stages, in order to normalize a person’s condition and his sugar to normal, it is recommended to change the lifestyle, in particular, a certain healthy diet and physical activity. When sugar is kept at 10 units or more, then insulin is prescribed. It is also important for a diabetic to know
Doctors recommend that patients with suspected diabetes of any type buy a glucometer to further monitor their blood sugar levels. The glucometer must be used not only in cases where the patient is unwell, but also as a preventive measure in order to track changes in their indicators in time.
The norm of sugar after eating in men, women, children
After eating, the concentration of sugar in the blood rises. Definitely, it is believed that the level of glucose in the blood does not depend on gender, however, in a number of situations in medical practice there is a table that shows slight differences between men and women, which makes it possible to suspect the development of diabetes mellitus.
Based on statistics, we can say that the fairer sex is more susceptible to type 1 and type 2 diabetes, this is due to the physiological characteristics and functioning of the female body.
Fasting sugar in the weaker sex normally has a value of up to 5.5 units. If the amount of sugar in the blood is exceeded, then a second study is carried out. Sugar after eating rises, and can reach the figure of 8.8 units. However, despite such a high rate, it is still the norm.
Every hour, the amount of glucose in the blood gradually changes, and after about two or three hours it returns to its original value. It is after such a period of time that the body requires food.
It is worth noting an interesting point that it is in the female sex that sugar is quickly transformed into an energy component, so they cannot live without sweets. The same can be said about a child who will never refuse candy or ice cream. Many parents, worrying about the health of their child, are interested in how much sugar should be in children? What is the normal level of glucose in the blood of a child, this question is answered by the following list:
- The normal indicator in a child is up to 5.6 units. If it is high, then the assumption that there is diabetes is fully justified.
- Immediately, as the patient ate, the amount of glucose can rise to 7.9 units, and it will be like that for an hour.
If you use a glucometer and measure the blood sugar in a child for one hour (after he has eaten), you will notice that it keeps almost at the same level, and after two hours it begins to gradually decrease.
Sadly, but the fact is undeniable, in the last 10 years, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been increasingly diagnosed in children of primary school age. If you have previously suspected diabetes, you need to purchase a glucometer that allows you to find out your indicators at any time.
If after eating the glucose level is high, and exceeds the figure of 10 units, a second analysis is prescribed, and in this case, one can first talk about diabetes.
What information does tolerance analysis provide?
Before testing for diabetes, they first take an analysis on an empty stomach (you must not eat for 8-10 hours). An analysis is then carried out to determine sugar tolerance. The patient is offered to take 75 ml of glucose, they take an analysis, after two hours it is necessary to take it again. Two hours later, after the patient drank glucose, the norm is less than 10 units (venous blood), and capillary more than 10 units, in particular 11 units. A violation of tolerance is considered an indicator of 10 units (venous blood), and more than 11 units - capillary blood.
If the fasting rate is high, then a second test is performed after two hours. When sugar levels are still elevated, type 1 or type 2 diabetes is suspected. In this situation, it is recommended to take the tests again, you can control your blood sugar at any time at home, this will help the glucometer.
Blood sugar can rise and fall critically both on an empty stomach and after eating. At 3 units of glucose, which is considered the extreme mark, clinical picture next:
- Weakness, general malaise.
- Increased sweating.
- Difficult to hear the pulse.
- The heart muscle is overloaded, there are malfunctions in the work of the heart.
- Tremor of the limbs.
- Confusion of consciousness.
It should be noted that patients with diabetes are at risk of developing oncological diseases because high blood sugar affects immune system person.
Having learned what the norm is for diabetes, and what tests you need to take, and why you need a glucometer, you need to consider the basic recommendations for lowering blood sugar. To normalize your sugar level in the morning, in the evening and in general, forever, it is recommended to follow a special diet that is prescribed for diabetes of any type.
A moderate increase in blood glucose, 1–2 hours after a meal, is a natural phenomenon for the body. The norm of sugar after eating in a healthy person does not exceed 8.9 mmol / l. In the process of digestion of products, insulin processes glucose and its concentration is normalized. Exceeding the indicators 3 hours after a person has eaten is a sign of a violation of carbohydrate metabolism or the development of diabetes.
An increased rate after eating may indicate diabetes, but this is not always the case.
Difference between fasting and post-meal sugar levels
The basis of metabolic processes is the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels - insulin. It is produced in the pancreas as a response to the intake of carbohydrates, during the exchange of which glucose is released into the blood. The hormone promotes the rapid processing and absorption of sugar by body tissues.
Fasting glucose levels are the lowest. This is explained by the fact that the stomach is hungry and there are no metabolic processes. In a healthy person normal level sugar should be in the range of 3.4 to 5.5 mmol / l.
In a diabetic, the values are higher:
- up to 8.5 mmol / l - with type 2;
- up to 9.3 mmol / l - with type 1.
After eating, an active metabolism of carbohydrates begins, from which glucose is released. At this time, it is permissible to increase its concentration by 2–2.5 mmol / l in a healthy person. It all depends on the ability of the body to quickly absorb sugar. Indicators return to normal after 2.5-3 hours after eating.
Normal sugar levels after eating
Measurement of glucose on a full stomach is not carried out. After eating, at least an hour should pass. Informative indicators in a healthy person and a diabetic are data obtained 1, 2 or 3 hours after a meal.
Table "Normal blood sugar after eating"
Elevated blood sugar in a healthy person 3 hours after eating food up to 11 mmol / l is considered a critical indicator, which indicates hyperglycemia or the development of diabetes mellitus. In diabetes, this condition indicates non-compliance with the rules of nutrition or intake. medicines.
Reasons for the deviation of indicators from the norm
Many factors can affect the increase in blood glucose concentration:
- excessive consumption of simple carbohydrates;
- sedentary image life, complete absence exercise, which leads to obesity and metabolic failure in the body;
- alcohol abuse;
- moral overwork, frequent stress, nervous breakdowns;
- destruction of the mechanisms of glucose uptake due to malfunctions in the liver, pancreas, endocrine processes.
On the picture complex carbohydrates, which do not have such a drastic effect on sugar levels
Permissible values of blood sugar concentration are exceeded under the influence of diuretics or hormonal drugs.
Long intervals between meals contribute to the decrease in glucose after eating, low calorie diet with great physical and mental stress, tumor processes in the pancreas, which provoke increased production of insulin.
In men
In healthy men, an increase in blood glucose levels is associated with nervous work, excessive training in the gym, heavy physical exertion, and alcohol abuse. The indicators increase from the regular intake of steroid drugs. Affects blood sugar and an inactive lifestyle, especially after 40 years.
Alcohol in high doses leads to diabetes
Low performance- the result of malnutrition, depletion of the body, malignant tumors.
Among women
Reception hormonal contraceptives, corticosteroids, diuretics leads to an increase in blood sugar in women. Affects glycemia and premenstrual period, as well as changes in hormonal background at menopause.
During pregnancy
The following conditions provoke an increase in blood sugar in a pregnant woman:
- increased load on the pancreas - the body cannot cope with the production of insulin, which leads to its shortage and reduced glucose processing;
- weight gain;
- genetic predisposition to diabetes.
For pregnant women, an increase in sugar is considered the norm.
Glucose control during the gestation period is carried out regularly to prevent the development of pathological processes in the body of the mother and child.
In children
A decrease in the amount of glucose in the blood is inherent in children under 1 year of age. This is due to the peculiarities of metabolism, which is only being established and is not completely perfect. Low rates for infants are considered normal.
An increase in the limit limits in children older than a year indicates the development of pathological changes in a small organism:
- tumor processes in the adrenal glands;
- violations at work thyroid gland;
- formations in the pituitary gland;
- emotional turmoil.
In children, an increase in sugar can be caused by formations in the pituitary gland.
A moderate deviation from the norm in a child is allowed when the state of health is normal and there are no visible causes of pathologies - sudden weight loss, profuse urination, constant thirst, irritability, lethargy.
Consequences of high blood sugar
An increased concentration of glucose in the blood after a meal, which is observed in a person for a long time, leads to serious consequences:
- destruction of the shell of the eye - blindness develops;
- damage to blood vessels, loss of elasticity and tone of their membranes - the risk of heart attack, blockage of veins lower extremities;
- destruction of renal tissues, resulting in impaired filtration capacity of the kidneys.
Constantly elevated blood sugar pathologically affects all organs and systems in the body, which greatly impairs the quality of life and reduces its duration.
What to do when sugar fluctuates?
fluctuations in blood sugar- the first sign of pathological changes in the body that lead to diabetes mellitus. Glucose jumps require constant monitoring, dieting and a healthy lifestyle.
By leading a healthy lifestyle, you can not worry about problems in the body.
Proper measurement of sugar
To determine glucose in the laboratory, blood from a vein or from a finger is used. The study is carried out on an empty stomach and 1, 2 hours after eating. Constantly elevated values are an indication for regular measurement of glucose levels. At home, it is possible to control sugar in adults and children using a glucometer.
Must be measured:
- on an empty stomach in the morning;
- an hour after breakfast and 2 hours after eating;
- after heavy physical exertion, stressful situations;
- before bedtime.
It is better to measure sugar before and after each meal.
Often people do not feel sugar jumps, the state is normal even at 11-13 mmol / l, which hiddenly leads to the development of diabetes. Glucose monitoring by a glucometer helps to identify abnormalities long before the onset of complications.
Nutrition
The concentration of sugar in plasma is affected by human nutrition - the more carbohydrates in the diet, the higher the glucose level.
A special diet helps to normalize metabolic processes and insulin production, which has its own characteristics:
- Divide food intake into 5-6 meals;
- food should be chopped, boiled, stewed, steamed or in the oven;
- eliminate junk food, alcohol, sugar;
- the basis of the diet should be fish, poultry, fruits (low in sugar), greens and vegetables.
What can a diabetic, useful and healthy people
Main principle diets- Eating low-carbohydrate foods.
Table "Allowed and prohibited products"
| Healthy food | Oatmeal bread, crackers, unsweetened biscuits |
| Vegetable lean soups, secondary fish and meat broths | |
| Lean meats - beef, rabbit, turkey, chicken | |
| Lean fish - carp, cod, pike perch | |
| Spinach, arugula, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, herbs, cabbage, carrots, potatoes | |
| Apples, lemons, oranges, currants, cranberries | |
| Legumes, cereals, soft-boiled eggs, steamed scrambled eggs, cottage cheese | |
| Milk, weak tea, compote without sugar, tomato juice, fresh juices with sour fruits | |
| harmful products | Butter and confectionery products with sugar, chocolate candies, jam, marshmallow, marshmallow, honey |
| Smoked sausages, fish | |
| Fried, spicy, fatty foods | |
| Spices, ketchup, mayonnaise, seasonings | |
| Grapes (dried and fresh), bananas, sweet berries | |
| Carbonated drinks with sugar |
It is realistic to regulate the content of sugar in plasma if you reconsider your lifestyle:
- lead active life- run, swim, engage in moderate exercise in the morning, walk in the fresh air;
- give up bad habits - alcohol and smoking are prohibited;
- avoid stress, emotional overstrain and moral overstrain;
- observe a sleep schedule - sleep at least 8 hours a day.
Keep a sleep schedule and try to get at least 8 hours of sleep
A healthy lifestyle strengthens the immune system, contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes in the body, and stabilizes the processing and absorption of glucose.
Sugar enters the body with food, a moderate increase in blood glucose 1-2 hours after eating is considered a natural process. In a healthy person, a normal indicator should be in the range of 7.8–8.9 mmol / l. Stress, overwork, diseases of the pancreas, liver, endocrine pathologies or the development of diabetes are capable of provoking deviations.
Ignoring jumps in glucose leads to visual impairment, problems with blood vessels and the heart, and diabetic manifestations. It is realistic to prevent complications if you constantly control your sugar levels, eat right and lead a healthy lifestyle.
