2型糖尿病的自我控制方略

When your blood sugar is not well controlled, it is helpful to:

Monitor your blood sugar at different times during the day

Keep a logbook of your blood sugar test results, food, exercise and medication doses

Discuss the problem with your medical provider

All of the above

All of the answers are correct. However, the best answer is "All of the above". When your blood sugar is not well controlled, it is useful to monitor your blood sugar more frequently and at different times of the day. Also, keep a logbook of your blood sugar results, exercise/activity, the carbohydrate content of the food, and medication doses (including insulin). You can review the log book with your medical provider to problem solve why you are having difficulty controlling your blood sugar.

In general, the blood sugar is lowered with:

Exercise / Increased activity

Weight loss

A carbohydrate controlled diet

Medications including insulin

All of the above

All of the answers are correct. However, the best answer is "All of the above". Exercise or increased activity, weight loss, a diet that does not have an excessive amount of carbohydrate, and diabetes medications including insulin, all lower your blood sugar.

Medications that may cause a "below target" or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used by themselves as a single therapy are:

Biguanides (Metformin)

Thiazolidinediones (Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone)

Incretin based therapy (Sitigliptin, Exenatide)

Starch blockers (Acarbose)

Insulin releasing pills (sulfonylureas, glinides)

None of the above

Insulin releasing pills including the sulfonylureas and glinides can cause low blood sugars (hypoglycemia).

There is always a risk of "below target" or low blood sugars (hypoglycemia) when using pills that cause insulin to be released from the pancreas (sulfonylureas, glinides), or when using insulin therapy.

True

False

True! Pills that cause insulin to be released from the pancreas and insulin therapy both have hypoglycemia (low blood sugars) as a side effect.

When using pills that cause "below target" or hypoglycemia (low blood sugars) in combination with pills that don't cause a low blood sugar, there is no risk of getting a "low".

True

False

False! Pills that cause insulin to be released from the pancreas have hypoglycemia (low blood sugars) as a side effect, whether they are used alone or in combination with other medications.

If you are treated with pills that cause insulin to be released from the pancreas, or treated with insulin therapy and have hypoglycemia (blood sugars below your target range), you should:

Ignore the problem

Contact your provider to discuss what is happening, including your activity, carbohydrate consumption, alcohol consumption (if any), medication or insulin dose, fingerstick blood sugar levels and other medical issues at the time

Get more exercise

Increase your medication dose

Restrict carbohydrate in your food

When you are getting blood sugars below your target range, you should discuss what is happening with your medical provider. You may need to modify your diabetes therapy or make lifestyle changes.

When you have type 2 diabetes, your blood sugar may increase when you:

Gain weight

Are inactive

Are stressed

Are sick

Are eating too much sugar and starch containing foods including fruit, juice or milk

Are on the wrong dose of medication or insulin

All of the above

All of the answers are correct. However, the best answer is "All of the above". Your blood sugar may be too high because of weight gain, inactivity, stress, illness, excess carbohydrate (sugar and starch) in the diet, or because you need an adjustment in your diabetes medication.
