In a sugar club, enthusiastic sugar friends often communicate with each other about their illness.
Recently, sugar friends have just received the results of the hospital’s physical examination. Five sugar friends, Xiao Wang, Lao Li, Xiao Jie, Zhao Ge and Qian Bo, got together again to talk.
Everyone went to the physical examination together. Seeing the results of the physical examination, Xiao Wang found a very strange thing:
Lao Li and I both tested 8.0 mmol/L of fasting blood glucose. Why did the doctor say that my blood glucose control was not good and Lao Li’s blood glucose control was up to standard?
The reason is that the goal of diabetes control varies from person to person.
Today, Dr. Clove summed up several common diabetes blood sugar control targets based on the conditions of five sugar friends. Let’s compare them quickly.
Xiao Wang: Young New Sugar Friend
Personal situation: 35 years old, usually busy with work and social activities, this year just found out that he has diabetes, no complications and other diseases.
Doctors suggest that for young sugar lovers with short illness time, the target can be set more strictly to prevent complications.
Control Objectives:
- Fasting blood glucose 4.4 ~ 7.0 mmol/L postprandial blood glucose < 8.0 mmol/L glycosylated hemoglobin < 6.5% (7% in general adult patients)
Xiao Jie: Young Sugar Mother
Personal situation: 28 years old, pregnant in June this year, found gestational diabetes mellitus.
Doctors suggest that the blood sugar control of gestational diabetes mellitus should be stricter than that of general type 2 sugar friends, but attention should also be paid to the prevention of hypoglycemia. Postpartum 6 ~ 12 weeks to recheck.
Control Objectives:
- Preprandial blood glucose ≤ 5. 3 mmol/L 2 hours postprandial blood glucose ≤ 6. 7 mmol/L night blood glucose ≥ 3. 3 mmol/L glycosylated hemoglobin < 5. 5%
Zhao Ge: Old New Sugar Friend
Personal situation: 65 years old, 2 years old of sugar, except diabetes, there are no other major physical problems.
Doctors suggest that for sugar lovers who have not been ill for a long time, are not too old, and have no other chronic diseases, the control target can be slightly stricter.
Control Objectives:
- Fasting blood glucose 5.0 ~ 7.2 mmol/L postprandial blood glucose 8.0 ~ 10.0 mmol/L glycosylated hemoglobin < 7.5%
Lao Li: Old Sugar Friends
Personal situation: 70 years old, 10 years old of sugar, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, occasional hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia fainted half a month ago.
Doctors suggest that for sugar lovers with long illness time, older age and other chronic diseases, the control target can be appropriately relaxed.
Control Objectives:
- Fasting blood glucose 5.0 ~ 8.3 mmol/L postprandial blood glucose 8.0 ~ 11.0 mmol/L glycosylated hemoglobin < 8.0%
Qian Bo: Elderly Diabetes [Long March Army]
Personal situation: 85 years old, 20 years old of sugar, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, amputation due to diabetic foot infection last year, severe hypoglycemia occurred if you did not pay attention to it.
Doctors suggest that for sugar lovers with long illness time, old age and various chronic diseases, the control target should not be too tight, and special attention should be paid to prevent hypoglycemia and sudden hyperglycemia.
Control Objectives:
- Fasting blood glucose 5.6 ~ 10.0 mmol/L postprandial blood glucose 8.0 ~ 11.1 mmol/L glycosylated hemoglobin < 8.5%
Finally, I would like to remind you that everyone’s situation is different. The situation of the above five sugar friends is a reference for everyone. Specific personal goals need endocrinologists to determine according to age, disease severity and other conditions.
