For diabetic patients, many undesirable symptoms will come to the door when the blood sugar is not controlled, especially the incidence of complications is very high. Therefore, it should be treated reasonably after the blood sugar is raised, and through regular inspections to understand whether other important organs have been affected. If there are signs of certain lesions, immediate improvement measures are required. Diabetes patients are unstable, what tests need to be carried out regularly?

1. Check your feet

If diabetes is affecting your health, many important inspection items need to be carried out regularly, especially the health check of your feet. Because the feet are used as the target organ during the development of diabetes, it is easy to be affected by hyperglycemia and the complications of diabetic foot.

After the appearance of diabetic feet, there will be obvious changes in the feet, such as skin ulceration, or infection. Therefore, pay attention to the performance of diabetic feet in time. In addition, usually pay attention to the health check of the feet regularly. If there are certain abnormalities, it should be highly regarded.

2. Fundus examination

For diabetics, many complications may occur, in order to reduce the prevalence of complications. Fundus examination should be carried out regularly, through the fundus examination can understand whether there is a lesion in the eye.

Many people have obvious retinopathy during the continuous increase of blood sugar, which may cause vision loss. In order to prevent this from happening, regular fundus health examinations are very important. Only by observing the presence of diseases in the eyes can we prevent an increase in health risks and retinopathy.

3. Cardiac function test

Cardiac function tests are necessary for diabetic patients, because blood sugar is not controlled during the onset of diabetes, which may lead to impaired function of this important organ of the heart. In particular, the coronary arteries are affected by the influence of high blood sugar, and the blood, an important organ of the heart, is not provided with nutrients in time, and the negative impact is relatively obvious. It may lead to decreased heart function and induce diabetic heart disease. Therefore, heart health examinations need to be performed regularly.

4. Blood lipid examination

If you already have diabetes that is affecting your health, it is best to check your blood lipid levels regularly. You can check whether blood triglycerides and cholesterol levels are elevated through blood lipid tests. Many people will also be accompanied by hyperlipidemia during the onset of diabetes. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether this indicator is abnormal through regular blood lipid examination. If there is hyperlipidemia, it should be controlled in time to prevent physical health from being affected.

5. Renal function test

People with diabetes have regular kidney function tests. The kidney is one of the most important organs in the body. Many people are also involved in the kidneys during the development of diabetes, and even cause diabetic nephropathy, which is the negative effect of continued blood sugar levels.

If the arteries and blood vessels in the kidney are stimulated by hyperglycemia, the kidney function may be reduced. If you want to avoid this from happening, you should have regular kidney function tests.

Mom and dad are not short, why is the baby not as tall as the child of the same age? Parents are not tall, must children be short?

I heard that growth hormone can be used to make children grow taller, is that true?

Football star Messi was diagnosed with short stature when he was a child. Because his family couldn’t afford the cost of injecting growth hormone therapy, Messi almost lost his football career because of short stature. Because of Messi’s talent and hard work, Barcelona paid him for treatment, and eventually he got rid of the short stature and became a super star.

Encouraged by such stories, many parents went to beg doctors to prescribe growth hormone to their children.

Today Dr.X talks about the problem of growth and growth hormone:

The so-called growth hormone (GH) is a protein synthesized and secreted by the anterior pituitary cells of the brain. It is a kind of peptide hormone. The main physiological role of GH is to promote the body’s anabolism and protein synthesis and stimulate bone growth.

For height problems caused by insufficient growth hormone secretion, it used to be called “dwarfism”. It can indeed be treated by supplementing with growth hormone, and the younger the better.

The growth of the child’s height is stagnant, and many parents will take the child to check the growth hormone. The test result is slightly lower. Parents first thought of getting an injection quickly, supplementing with growth hormone, and not letting the child lose at the starting line!

In fact, children’s growth hormone is secreted irregularly throughout the day, and its secretion is affected by sleep, diet, exercise, drugs and so on.

A random growth hormone test has no diagnostic value.

The really valuable test is called: growth hormone challenge test.

The growth hormone provocation test is to observe the dynamic changes of blood hormones by using some method or drug that can increase the secretion of growth hormone, so as to understand the body’s ability to regulate, synthesize and secrete growth hormone.

Including: physiological challenge test (exercise, sleep, etc.) and drug challenge test (levodopa, insulin, arginine, clonidine, etc.).

Children with a positive growth hormone challenge test may consider growth hormone therapy after completing a full assessment.

It must be noted that once the epiphyseal line is closed, the use of growth hormone has no effect, and even increases the risk of tumors! So be sure to check first! In addition, headache, hypothyroidism, abnormal glucose metabolism, redness and pain at the injection site are also common side effects.

It usually takes 3 months to review.

Speaking of the lack of growth hormone, do many parents already want to take their children to check?

I have to pour cold water on everyone.

Hormone growth can be achieved by simply supplementing hormones, which only account for a very small part of the problem of slow height growth.

How does science grow taller?

Yao Ming’s father was 2.08 meters tall and his mother Fang Fengdi was 1.88 meters. The birth of Yao Ming reached 2.26 meters. He also married Ye Li, who was 1.90 meters tall. His 8-year-old daughter Yao Qinlei had reached 1.65 meters.

Tall people are indeed more popular in marriage and love.

What we can control is:

① Sleep

The growth hormone of the human body is secreted in a pulsating manner. The peak of secretion is at night, and there is no obvious peak of growth hormone secretion during the day. Adults can work at night and recuperate during the day, but children in desperate need of growth hormone must never stay up late.

And need to ensure sleep time:

② Nutrition

Protein and calcium are of course essential for growth.

No such nutritional supplements are needed, the most effective way is:

1-2 glasses of milk every day.

300 grams of milk can provide 300mg calcium, 9 grams of high-quality protein, can achieve 37.5% of calcium intake, 30% of high-quality protein.

1-2 cups of milk basically meets 1/3 of the calcium and protein requirements of a day.

It can almost meet the daily protein and calcium needs. For children who do not like milk, yogurt and cheese are also acceptable.

③ Exercise

Studies have shown that strengthening lower limb exercises, such as skipping ropes and jumping rubber bands to climb stairs, can promote the proliferation of bone chondrocytes.

④ Respect the law of growth

The peak periods of human growth are infancy and puberty.

At any time, you can get the ideal height with a little flick.

Although the test results are normal, parents can’t let go, eager to achieve success, desperately replenishing calcium, taking some so-called heightening products, may lead to early closure of the bone line or precocious puberty.

Let the child lose the opportunity to grow taller …
