Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c):
Commonly known as the "average blood sugar level," this value reflects blood sugar control over the past three to four months prior to blood draw. Glycated hemoglobin reflects a weighted average over time. The abbreviation for glycated hemoglobin is now simplified to A1c.
A normal HbA1c value should be below 5.7%. An HbA1c value between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes; an HbA1c value of 6.5% or higher is considered diabetes. Glycated hemoglobin levels should be checked at the beginning of diabetes treatment, and then ideally every three months (four times a year).
Factors Affecting Blood Sugar:
1. Diet: Foods high in sugar and carbohydrates can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly.
2. Exercise: Regular exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity and promotes blood sugar control. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week is recommended, and moderate weight training can also help improve insulin resistance.
3. Stress: Emotional stress triggers the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which affect blood sugar regulation.
4. Sleep: Lack of sleep can affect the action of insulin, leading to increased blood sugar levels. Maintaining good sleep quality is crucial.
5. Medications: Glucocorticoids in cold medicines, diuretics and beta-blockers in blood pressure medications, oral contraceptives, and lipid-lowering statins can all affect blood sugar levels.
What foods should I avoid if my blood sugar is high?
1. Refined foods: These include cakes, cookies, and sugary drinks.
2. High-glycemic foods: Also known as high-GI foods, these foods cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate more rapidly after a meal. Common high-glycemic foods include white rice, French fries, popcorn, watermelon, mango, pineapple, and lychees.
3. High-fat foods: Fried chicken, spicy hot pot, barbecue, mooncakes, rice dumplings, sesame seed cakes, fried dough sticks, and pork floss.
4. Alcoholic beverages: Alcoholic beverages.
