48 years of experience in sugar control is not to be missed!

Today’s story about diabetes patients is from Professor Sun Jiadong from the Department of Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. He introduces his daily life and methods to prevent diabetes. I believe that his article will definitely bring enlightenment to diabetic patients across the country in 2018. Go to Dawn.

He has been suffering from type 1 diabetes for 48 years and is 90 years old. Except for arteriosclerosis, he has basically no diabetes-related complications. He is a surgeon and currently attends outpatient clinics three times a week.

Five tips to prevent complications

In addition to relying on the guidance of specialist doctors, the treatment and prognosis of diabetes are mainly controlled by the patients themselves. Doing the following can help prevent the occurrence of diabetic complications.

1. People with diabetes must learn about diabetes. Those who are qualified should read a book on diabetes and study and practice it over and over again.

2. After learning, you must carefully follow various treatments and health care measures. Don’t be afraid of trouble and stick to it for life.

3. Monitor blood sugar frequently and adjust medication, diet, exercise and other treatment methods.

4. Experience regularly, discover changes in a timely manner, and take improvement measures.

5. When you have questions or difficulties, consult a specialist regularly for guidance and to resolve your doubts.

Professor Liu Guorong from the Endocrinology Department of Beijing Coal General Hospital commented: Professor Sun Jiadong’s current living situation is no different from that of a healthy elderly person without diabetes, and he is a role model for people with diabetes to follow. Diabetes patients should learn from Professor Sun’s mentality. He treats diabetes calmly and optimistically and does not regard diabetes as a burden; learn from Professor Sun’s experience in controlling complications and apply what he has learned. Professor Sun Jiadong has found a combination of three meals a day and exercise methods that suit him. Diabetic patients should not copy them. They must adjust according to their own condition to find a suitable combination of diet and exercise and a life pattern that suits them.

I sincerely hope that diabetic patients across the country can defeat diabetes like Professor Sun Jiadong and stay healthy and live a long life! During the communication with Professor Sun Jiadong, I learned that since the introduction of blood glucose meters, Professor Sun monitors blood sugar at least 4 times a day, and then adjusts the dose of pre-meal insulin according to the level of blood sugar, that is, adding or subtracting from the regular dose. .
