Blood sugar levels and liver health
When blood sugar levels are too high or too low, liver function may be affected.
Long-term high blood sugar levels increase the risk of fat accumulation in the liver, leading to fatty liver and even cirrhosis.
Low blood sugar levels may affect the liver’s metabolic capacity.
Dietary Misconceptions in Blood Sugar Control
Some people think that they can control blood sugar by not eating sweets, but in fact all carbohydrates will affect blood sugar levels.
Some people will over-restrict carbohydrate intake, leading to malnutrition.
Others mistakenly believe that fruit has no effect on blood sugar. In fact, some high-sugar fruits also need to be eaten in moderation.
Blood sugar control and lifestyle changes
Choosing low GI foods and consuming a moderate amount of protein and healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Exercising moderately every day, such as walking, jogging, yoga, etc., can improve insulin sensitivity.
Maintaining good sleep habits and effective stress management can also prevent blood sugar fluctuations.
Blood sugar levels and eye health
High blood sugar can cause damage to retinal blood vessels, leading to diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness in severe cases.
High blood sugar may also increase the risk of cataracts and glaucoma.
People with diabetes and those with high blood sugar should have their eyes checked regularly to control their blood sugar levels and protect their vision.
Effects of blood sugar levels on cognitive function
The brain needs glucose as its main energy source. Low blood sugar levels can lead to problems such as inattention and memory loss.
Long-term high blood sugar levels may damage cerebral blood vessels and increase the risk of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Studies have shown that good blood sugar control helps maintain the brain’s cognitive function and prevent cognitive decline.
Effects of blood sugar levels on women’s health
Fluctuations in blood sugar levels have many effects on women’s health.
High blood sugar increases women’s risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and affects fertility.
High blood sugar during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) may have adverse effects on the health of mother and baby, increasing the risk of premature birth and macrosomia.
Women should pay special attention to their blood sugar levels, keep blood sugar stable, and maintain overall health.
Blood sugar levels and mental stress
When you are stressed, your body secretes stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which raise blood sugar levels.
Long-term mental stress may lead to difficulty in controlling blood sugar and increase the risk of diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
Learning to manage stress and maintaining a positive attitude can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
