Six Methods for Longevity with "Sugar," the Key Lies in Persistence for Sure Results.

Dr. He from the Medical Department of a Public Tertiary Hospital in Shenzhen, Guangdong, explains.

The current state of medicine shows that neither type 1 nor type 2 diabetes can be cured, but it doesn't mean that severe health-threatening complications will definitely occur. As long as "sugar friends" persist in doing six things long-term, they can coexist with diabetes, and examples of longevity with "sugar" are everywhere.

· First, controlling sugar is about stability, not pursuing low levels. Both excessively high, low, or frequent fluctuations are bad. Stable blood sugar rarely or does not lead to complications, and the functions of all important organs remain normal, allowing for longevity. Keep fasting blood sugar stable between 4.4-7.0, post-meal <10 mmol/L, and glycated hemoglobin below 7%.

· Second, protect blood vessels, ensure smooth blood flow, and safeguard heart, brain, and kidney health. Keep blood pressure around 130/80 mmHg, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol <2.6, and triglycerides <1.7 mmol/L. This removes risk factors for vascular plaques, prevents narrowing, and prevents thrombosis.

· Third, exercise improves physical fitness, promotes metabolism, better controls blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, and other indicators, and enhances immunity to reduce illness. Stick to at least 5 sessions of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling.

· Fourth, dietary management ensures nutritional balance, as without good nutrition, how can there be health? Dietary management focuses on high-sugar, high-fat foods. Eat rice and wheat flour in moderation, and minimize or avoid sweet drinks, sugary pastries, and fried foods. Nutritional balance means adequate high-quality protein, including fish, shrimp, lean meat, milk, eggs, and fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins.

· Fifth, maintain an optimistic mindset, and good sleep quality leads to a higher quality of life. Boost immunity, correct endocrine function disorders, prevent diseases, and accelerate recovery from illnesses.

· Sixth, undergo regular health check-ups to detect and treat chronic diseases early, promptly correct abnormal physiological and biochemical indicators, maintain a long-term healthy state, and ensure longevity.

Diabetes friends should have confidence in doing the above six things well, persist in them long-term, and let's all work together to coexist with chronic diseases and achieve longevity with "sugar."
