[Immune power up information]
Recently, the new coronavirus has taken the world by storm.
In this corner, you can find information on how to build a body that can withstand corona,
We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing.
The 16th article is a highlight article of Mr. Masa Watanabe's lecture from "Musubi Magazine July 5 issue" (XNUMX times in total).

People who sleep after meals or on an empty stomach should pay attention to changes in blood sugar levels

 However, the reality is that blood sugar levels have a wide range.
 For example, Mr. Watanabe himself says, "XNUMX to XNUMX even on an empty stomach in the morning, and about XNUMX in the evening after eating, which is very easy."
 The doctor in charge said, "It shouldn't be so expensive," but Mr. Watanabe continues, "However." “Birds have a blood sugar level of about 15. Turtles have a blood sugar level of about XNUMX. Insects have a slightly different type of sugar, but they have a blood sugar level of about XNUMX. Temasu," he said with a smile, softening the audience.
 In fact, when a glucose tolerance test, which is essential for diagnosing diabetes, was carried out on 26 healthy subjects, changes in blood glucose levels varied widely.
 Three hours after ingesting glucose, some subjects had blood sugar levels below 60, which is considered hypoglycemia.
 "The most obvious is drowsiness. People who feel sleepy about XNUMX hours after eating may have hypoglycemia. If it rises to XNUMX or more immediately after eating, it will also cause drowsiness. People who sleep after eating, those who sleep on an empty stomach, People like this are a little weird."

Increased risk of complications A1c prevention target value is less than 7%

 As mentioned above, if the blood glucose level is above the reference value at the first measurement, then after three months of diet and exercise therapy, if it is above the reference value again, it is officially diagnosed as diabetes.
 After the diagnosis, I used to switch to drug therapy, but recently it has become clear that drug therapy will not be effective unless diet and exercise therapy are also continued.
 “Medicine is nothing more than a remedy for symptoms. Medicine is like pouring water on a fire. It doesn't burn at all.We have to create such a body.
 Then, how far should the blood sugar level be lowered? For example, when looking at the fasting blood sugar level, 80 to XNUMX or less is excellent, XNUMX to XNUMX or less is good, XNUMX to XNUMX or less is acceptable, and XNUMX or more is not acceptable. there is.
 Also, the blood sugar level XNUMX hours after eating should not be more than XNUMX.Hemoglobin AXNUMXc cannot exceed XNUMX% (the international standard is XNUMX% or higher). At XNUMX%, the risk of complications is said to increase.
 However, Mr. Watanabe, who is constantly in a state of "impossible", has continued to say, "I feel better when my blood sugar level is high."
 "Then, a similar paper has recently started appearing in the United States as well. If you divide the AXNUMXc into groups of XNUMX%, XNUMX%, and XNUMX% or more, and follow up for two years, you'll find that people with the highest AXNUMXc are the most energetic. So the American Diabetes Association decided that for the elderly, blood sugar targets should be set in consultation with the patient, and could be slightly higher."
 Recently, even in Japan, it has become simpler: "The target for normalization is less than XNUMX%. To prevent complications, less than XNUMX%. Even if treatment is difficult, aim for less than XNUMX%."
