What causes high blood sugar

With the improvement of people's living standards, diabetes is becoming more and more common and has become a common chronic disease. As one of the main characteristics of diabetes is high blood sugar indicators, then, what causes high blood sugar? The causes of high blood sugar include lifestyle habits, insufficient insulin secretion, diseases, and genetics. Early detection and treatment are key to controlling high blood sugar. With the development of medical technology, many new hypoglycemic drugs continue to emerge. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, represented by Pingrunning Liggliptin, have significant advantages in the treatment of hyperglycemia, and are the ideal choice for diabetes patients.

1. What are the causes of high blood sugar?

1. Lifestyle factors

Poor dietary habits: Long term intake of high calorie, high-fat, and high sugar foods leads to excess energy, which in turn causes high blood sugar. Lack of exercise: Exercise helps to improve the body's metabolic levels, enhance insulin sensitivity, and thus lower blood sugar. Long term lack of exercise can lead to elevated blood sugar levels.

Obesity: Obese people have an increase in fat cells in their bodies, which increases their demand for insulin and can lead to insufficient insulin secretion, resulting in high blood sugar.

2. Insufficient or weakened insulin secretion: Insulin is the only hormone in the human body that can lower blood sugar. When insulin secretion is insufficient or its effect weakens, blood sugar levels will increase. This may be caused by impaired pancreatic function or autoimmune diseases.

3. Disease factors: Certain diseases such as hyperthyroidism, acromegaly, pheochromocytoma, etc. can affect the body's metabolic levels and lead to elevated blood sugar levels. In addition, certain medications such as glucocorticoids and diuretics can also affect the secretion and action of insulin, leading to hyperglycemia.

4. Genetic factors: diabetes has a certain genetic tendency. People with diabetes in their families are more likely to suffer from diabetes. In addition, some gene mutations can also increase the risk of diabetes.

2. What should I do if my blood sugar is high? Maintaining good lifestyle habits is the foundation for preventing and treating high blood sugar. Reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and weight control are all very important measures. For patients whose lifestyle changes cannot lower their blood sugar levels, drug therapy is essential. In recent years, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors represented by Pingrunning Ligliptin have received widespread attention in the treatment of hyperglycemia. DPP-4 inhibitors are a novel hypoglycemic drug that reduces blood glucose levels by inhibiting the activity of DPP-4 enzyme and prolonging the action time of endogenous glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Compared with other traditional hypoglycemic drugs, Pingrunning Ligagliptin has the following advantages:

has significant hypoglycemic effects: it can effectively lower blood sugar levels and control postprandial and fasting blood sugar.

High safety: fewer adverse reactions, good tolerance, and good cardiovascular safety for long-term use.

It has a protective effect on islet beta cells: it can protect islet beta cells and reduce the damage of diabetes to islet beta cells.

Improving insulin resistance: It can improve insulin resistance, increase insulin sensitivity, and help control the development of the disease.

Reduce the risk of complications: it can reduce the risk of complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, etc.

The above is an introduction about the causes of high blood sugar, hoping to be helpful to everyone!
