In an effort to prevent complications in diabetics, keeping blood sugar stable into an important step.Not only taking medication or insulin injections, blood sugar must be monitored regularly to ensure controlled sugar levels, as well as assessing the effectiveness of treatment and lifestyle that is lived.
FINASIM IN MAYAPADA HOSPITAL TANGERANG, DR.Luse, Sp.PD-KEMD explains the important reasons behind sugar monitoring for diabetics.
“Checking blood sugar is needed to detect surge or decreased blood sugar, because blood sugar can change according to eating patterns, physical activity, stress, even sleep patterns. With regular blood sugar checks, we can know when blood sugar is too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia),” said Dr.Luse.
Then, monitoring blood sugar is also useful to support the treatment of diabetes to make it more measurable according to the condition of each individual.
“Everyone responds to treatment, for example insulin, in a different way. Therefore, blood sugar monitoring is needed to help the doctor adjust the dose so that therapy becomes more precise,” said Dr.Luse.
Monitor blood sugar also has a long -term function in preventing complications.Doctor Luse said, this monitoring helps protect vital organs so that sugar levels remain within normal limits.If blood sugar is uncontrolled, in the long run it can cause damage to blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, nerves, to the heart.
Finally, monitoring blood sugar gives greater control for patients in managing disease.By knowing the results of regular examinations, patients can understand patterns of sugar level changes, as well as learning to adjust eating patterns, physical activity, and lifestyle so that blood sugar remains stable.
In monitoring blood sugar, there are several examinations that can be done by diabetics.First, an independent examination at home uses a glucometer.Simply piercing the fingertips to take capillary blood samples, the results are immediately seen in seconds.
This most practical examination is usually done before eating, two hours after eating, before going to bed, or when symptoms of hypoglycemia appear.
Second, examination of HBA1C or Hemoglobin A1C to give an average picture of blood sugar levels in the last three months.
“This examination assesses the success of diabetes management in the long run. The recommended target is generally less than 7%, according to doctor’s recommendations, and the examination is carried out every 3-6 months in the laboratory,” said Dr.Luse.
Third, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), which is the latest technology with small sensors attached to the skin to monitor blood sugar levels for 24 hours.The results are immediately read through special applications or tools, so that patients can find out the pattern of blood sugar ups and down all day.
“Monitoring blood sugar is as important as drugs and insulin. By routinely doing so, patients are more rare to experience emergencies due to diabetes. Therefore, do not underestimate, start monitoring blood sugar regularly to maintain the stability of blood sugar and prevent complications,” said Dr.Luse.
Comprehensive diabetes management can also be done at the Sugar Clinic Mayapada Hospital service, which provides AI -based diabetes screening examination and blood sugar tests (HBA1C and cholesterol examination) to detect the risk of prediabetes and diabetes and keep the body’s metabolism optimal.
