The normal value of blood sugar is the same in all age groups. Regardless of the young or the elderly, the current WHO diagnostic standard for blood sugar is that the fasting blood sugar is recommended to be 3.9-6.1 mmol/L, and the postprandial blood sugar 2 hours after the sugar load should be 4.4-7.8 mmol/L. . If the fasting plasma glucose level is greater than or equal to 7.0 mmol/L, and the postprandial blood glucose level is greater than or equal to 11.1 mmol/L 2 hours after the glucose load, the diagnostic criteria for diabetes are met. If the fasting plasma glucose level is between 6.1-7.0mmol/L, or the blood glucose level is between 7.8-11.1mmol/L 2 hours after the sugar load, it is called prediabetic state.
Whether it is a diabetic state or a pre-diabetic state, active life intervention should be carried out, mainly including the combination of diet control and exercise. Diet control mainly controls the total calories of food, and do not eat too greasy food. Encourage patients to choose appropriate aerobic exercise 1 hour after meals, each exercise for about 30 minutes, which is conducive to controlling blood sugar. In addition, the monitoring of blood sugar should be strengthened, and the higher the blood sugar, the higher the monitoring frequency.
