Chapter 309 Three Major Causes of Diabetes
Qin Jiang glanced at Zheng Hong and said, "Your pulse isn't right. How about you get a checkup first?"

Zheng Hong originally thought of just taking a look. After all, she knew her own body well and there was nothing serious wrong with her.

As a result, Qin Jiang asked her to check it right away, which made Zheng Hong a little nervous.

"Doctor Qin, what are the main examination items for me? What disease do I have?"

Qin Jiang glanced at Zheng Hong and said, "I understand how you feel right now, but before the test report comes out, I have no way of determining what disease you have, so you should get a test first."

After saying this, Qin Jiang looked at Zou Moli again.

"Give her a Glycated Hemoglobin test later."

Zou Moli is a professional doctor and she understood what Qin Jiang meant as soon as she heard it.

"Okay Doctor Qin."

Led by Zou Moli, the two walked into the pharmacy together.

Zhou Wen asked from the side: "Doctor, my mother should be fine, right? Don't scare me."

Qin Jiang said calmly: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a serious illness. Just wait patiently and you'll know when the test results come out."

Ten minutes later, Zou Moli brought Zheng Hong out of the pharmacy and handed the examination report to Qin Jiang.

As soon as Qin Jiang saw the data on the examination report, he immediately confirmed his previous guess.

"Ms. Zheng, based on the test results, I initially suspect that you have diabetes."

"It's just that your diabetes isn't particularly serious. If you pay attention to controlling your blood sugar, it shouldn't have a big impact on your health in the next five years."

"But if you can't control your blood sugar well, then this disease will have a big impact on you, and various complications will occur."

When Zheng Hong heard what Qin Jiang said, she was completely stunned.

"Diabetes? Me? How is that possible!"

"I'm only in my forties, and I don't usually like to eat very sweet things."

"I never eat cakes, milk tea, or anything like that that young people like to eat. How could I have diabetes?"

Zheng Hong had obviously heard of diabetes.

So when she learned from Qin Jiang that she had diabetes, her first reaction was that it was impossible.

Qin Jiang patiently explained: "Ms. Zheng, you will not get diabetes just because you like to eat sweets. In fact, there are very few patients who get diabetes because they like to eat sweets."

"Let me ask you, has your grandpa or grandma ever had diabetes?"

As soon as Qin Jiang said this, Zheng Hong fell silent.

Because in her impression, her grandfather really seemed to have diabetes!

"My grandfather did have it, but he got diabetes when he was very old. Does this have an impact as well?"

"Besides, there is my dad between me and my grandfather. My dad doesn't have diabetes, and neither does my mom."

Qin Jiang continued to explain patiently: "Diabetes is inherited from generation to generation. In fact, half of the people who have diabetes have it because of heredity. Do you understand what I mean?"

"So your parents are actually safe, and you are the most at risk. Your chance of getting diabetes is higher than that of ordinary people."

"As for the second factor that affects diabetes, it is obesity."

When Qin Jiang said this, he deliberately glanced at Zheng Hong.

Especially the fat around Zheng Hong's waist, which was so conspicuous that Qin Jiang couldn't ignore it. This immediately made Zheng Hong very embarrassed, and she quickly explained: "I'm... middle-aged, it's normal for middle-aged people to gain weight, right?"

Qin Jiang said calmly: "No matter what the cause of obesity is, it will further increase the probability of diabetes. Obviously, you meet this condition."

"The last factor is staying up late."

As soon as Qin Jiang finished speaking, Zheng Hong hurriedly said, "I don't do that. I never stay up late. I always go to bed before midnight. My daughter can testify to that."

Zhou Wen also nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Dr. Qin, my mother has a very regular and healthy schedule. She has been going to bed before midnight in the European style for the past ten years and has hardly ever stayed up late."

Qin Jiang explained: "What I want to ask is not what time you go to bed. When I say staying up late, I'm actually asking about the quality of your sleep."

"If you just lie in bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, or wake up directly after sleeping for a while, and remain in a state of light sleep, then you are also considered staying up late."

"As long as you don't fall asleep at night, your blood sugar level will rise, and over time, your risk of diabetes will naturally increase."

Zheng Hong opened her mouth and was completely stunned.

She never expected that she would win the prize because of the last one who stayed up late.

She was indeed the kind of person Qin Jiang described, who had poor sleep quality at night.

Although she went to bed early, she couldn't fall asleep every time she lay in bed. She was upset and had all kinds of random thoughts.

Therefore, Zheng Hong has always envied those people who can fall asleep as soon as they touch the pillow. She even paid to sign up for a meditation class, hoping to change her sleep quality through this.

"Ms. Zheng, are all the three factors I mentioned true?"

Zheng Hong nodded awkwardly.

“I really haven’t been sleeping very well.”

"Then Doctor Qin, is it possible for me to be cured of the diabetes you mentioned?"

Seeing that Zheng Hong had accepted this fact, Qin Jiang gave his own suggestions.

"From the data on the examination report, your diabetes is not serious and should only be in the early stages."

"But even so, you still have to pay attention. Because diabetes is a chronic disease. It is different from other diseases. It damages your body little by little."

"If I have to describe it, it's like cutting meat with a blunt knife or boiling a frog in warm water, so don't think that you don't have any symptoms now, so you can take it lightly and not take diabetes seriously."

"If you develop various complications a few years later, it will be difficult to treat them."

The human body is a sophisticated machine.

When the problem first occurs, it will actually have self-adjustment function and give you the opportunity to fix it.

Just like diabetes, although it cannot be cured, it is actually reversible at the beginning.

Some people have actually minimized the impact of diabetes on themselves and restored their health by exercising and changing their work and rest schedules.

But such people are generally a minority.

Most people don't take this disease seriously at all, and by the time symptoms really appear, it's too late to regret.

"Then Doctor Qin, how should I treat my illness now?"
