Mr. Kim has been taking blood pressure medication for 13 years. He goes hiking and no abnormalities other than high blood pressure were found in his health checkups. Following a doctor's recommendation that long-term high blood pressure increases the risk of developing diabetes, he decided to get a blood sugar test. Mr. Kim was confident that he did not have diabetes. What were the results? His blood sugar level 2 hours after a meal was 208 mg/dl, indicating diabetes! This is a dangerous level, being a whopping 52 mg/dl higher than the normal range of 90–140 mg/dl. The cause was none other than greasy meals and drinking alcohol all week long! Currently, fat was accumulating in various parts of his body, interfering with insulin's ability to lower blood sugar levels. Consuming such high-calorie foods and poor lifestyle habits increases the likelihood of developing not only high blood pressure but also diabetes. Fortunately, since insulin production is normal, it was decided to correct lifestyle habits rather than taking medication. As such, diabetes may not be detected during a health checkup. Then, Mr. Kim, who undergoes a health checkup every year, why was diabetes not detected in his checkups? What is the way for someone suffering from high blood pressure to avoid diabetes? High blood pressure and diabetes are lifestyle diseases; consistent management is the answer! Since high blood pressure and diabetes are lifestyle diseases, they must be managed with care throughout one's life. In other words, rather than trying to cure them all at once, one must observe and make an effort over a long period... The foundation of managing high blood pressure and diabetes is diet and exercise! Mr. Bang, in his 40s this year, was diagnosed with diabetes due to working three shifts and irregular meals and exercise. Although he was reluctant to accept being diagnosed with diabetes at such a young age, he has now accepted it and is managing it. Mr. Bang checks his blood sugar before and after meals every day and pays close attention to his portion sizes. He avoids not only his meal portions but also the snacks he used to enjoy. What Mr. Bang focuses on most is exercise! Whenever I have no work or on my days off, I go to a nearby mountain to exercise. Thanks to my diligent management, my blood sugar levels remain stable. Why is it necessary to practice diet and exercise to manage lifestyle diseases? Also, what are the methods for dieting and exercising? ✔ Program Title: Famous Doctors - Dangerous Coexistence, Hypertension and Diabetes ✔ Broadcast Date: November 22, 2019 #ebshealth #health #ebs #famousdoctors #diabetes #diabeticdisease #hypertension #bloodsugar #bloodsugarmanagement #diet #exercise #complications #diabetesprevention #vasculardisease #chronickidneydisease #meat #alcohol #overeating #drinking #carbohydrates #triglycerides #cholesterol #obesity #vascularaging #abdominalobesity
