Diabetes patients are afraid of complications because of the complications of diabetes is the culprit against diabetes. Among them, diabetes, cardiovascular disease is a major complication of diabetes, its incidence and mortality are high. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease incidence of 25-35%, 2-3 times that of non-diabetic patients. Diabetes, cerebrovascular disease incidence of 20-30%, 4-10 times that of non-diabetic patients. Its high morbidity and mortality of a serious threat to human health and therefore diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease prevention is essential.

(A) actively control the primary disease:

Because the level of blood glucose control that directly affect their incidence and prognosis, it should be actively control fluctuations in blood glucose level and scope, so that blood sugar steady state, the general fasting blood glucose should be less than 8.0mmol / L, postprandial blood glucose should be less than 10.0mmol / L, at the same time the scope of its volatility should be less than 4.0mmol / L, glycosylated hemoglobin control in a number of 7%. Only in this way can we effectively prevent the occurrence of cardio-cerebral vascular complications and development of its incidence rate was controlled at the lowest level.

(B) actively controlling cardio-cerebral vascular disease risk factors:

Such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperviscosity, obesity. Blood pressure should be controlled in less than 120/80mmHg, body mass index of 25 below control, blood lipids and blood viscosity should be controlled within the normal range.

1, control blood lipid

Lipid metabolic disorders are the most common pathological findings diabetes, lipid abnormalities easier to promote atherosclerosis, especially low-density lipoprotein increased even more harmful, in addition to diet should light, the available statins and lipid-lowering fibrates Western or Chinese medicine.

2, control blood pressure

High blood pressure is an independent cardio-cerebral vascular diseases induced by factors, control blood pressure, can reduce cardiac after-load, reducing atherosclerosis, improve brain blood supply and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, multiple choice of calcium antagonists and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors agent, so that the ideal blood pressure stable at 130/80mmHg.

3, improved blood viscosity

Diabetes due to high blood sugar, high blood lipids, hypertension, the blood viscosity and abnormal, so that adds to the risk of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases, through the above measures will enable the improvement of blood viscosity, while taking enteric-coated aspirin 75mg, night time, or periodically, such as Astragalus Salvia infusion fluid to improve the blood flow changes.

4, control obesity

Control of body mass index below 25.

(C) The focus of the various aura symptoms

Such as chest tightness, suffocation, palpitation, sweating, chest pain, episodic dizziness, numbness, abnormal personality, the side of the limb dysfunction, etc. These are a precursor to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction symptoms should actively intervene in the event of a treatment .

(D) Regular monitoring of indicators:

Such as blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood changes, body mass index, ECG, cerebral blood flow map.

(E) adjusting the living habits:

1. Giving up smoking, scientific diet.

Hunger breeds discontent, we can see the importance of diet, but diabetes, in a sense is a bad lifestyle disease, can be said that the irrational nature of diet is no doubt play an important role, we advocate a scientific diet, neither blind diet, eat two more non-drinking, scientific diet on the premise that it is necessary to meet the human body for various nutritional needs, they will not be over-nutrition, increased disease. The principle is Roudan Nai moderate, ① eat morning, afternoon and eat late to eat less, ② thickness of grain clever mix of vegetables every meal there, ③ eight eat meal, the next Gordon is not hungry. Varieties of staple foods with whole wheat flour, rice, millet, cornmeal-based, as far as possible deprivation buckwheat, naked oats are difficult to digest food, in order to prevent stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract. Rice grains should be eaten, but also appropriate to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, but also eat fish, lean meat, eggs (every 4 to 7), milk, soy, garlic, vinegar. Eat less animal fat, sugar, butter and coffee. Per day should be reduced to 5 grams of salt. Be sure to weight control. Promote every morning to drink a cup of warm water. Not less than six glasses of water a day. Food intake may be based on height and weight, labor intensity of the. Protein to animal protein-based, supplemented by vegetable protein, but kidney patients should be limited to the amount of protein intake per day per kilogram of body weight of 0.8 grams of fat each day about one or two of vegetable oil is appropriate.

2, a reasonable exercise

A reasonable exercise to treat diabetes, to prevent an effective method of cardiovascular diseases, exercise is different from the daily labor, it does not need insulin can make the blood sugar drop, and can adjust spirit, a strong heart and lung function, and should therefore be a high priority. The principle is that each case of what one can, step by step, and with perseverance. Time should be chosen after the meal, especially dinner. Early morning exercise on patients with diabetes is not scientific, easily lead to low blood sugar occurs. Exercise can effectively control blood sugar and its risk factors to improve cardiac function, increasing heart and brain of blood supply to important organs such as kidneys, to effectively prevent the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. However, to avoid an unreasonable exercise and intense physical labor.

3, emotional conditioning

Emotions are the external manifestations of human spiritual activity, known as the seven emotions, namely anger, joy, worry, thinking, sadness, fear, panic, because diabetes is a kind of lingering refractory disease, so the majority of patients appeared irritable Yi Yi anger, or pessimism, such a state can easily make blood sugar rise, while more cardio-cerebral vascular diseases induced by the sudden attack, so adjusted my attitude and maintain optimism, open-minded, cheerful mood is essential.

4. According to climate change, change clothes, cold winter, note that the summer heatstroke, avoid respiratory infections.

In short, diabetes, cardiovascular disease is based on the occurrence of diabetes, and by a variety of pathogenic factors leading to serious complications, blood glucose control should be based on the premise of a comprehensive prevention, in order to achieve the desired objectives.
