How to reduce high uric acid in hyperuricemia?
The treatment of hyperuricemia includes lifestyle intervention and medication. Lifestyle intervention involves controlling the total caloric intake of the diet, limiting the intake of high-purine foods, avoiding animal offal, shellfish, hot pots, and not consuming tofu, bean sprouts, and other soy products. Smoking and drinking alcohol should be prohibited. It is advocated to eat alkaline foods and choose melon-type vegetables. Appropriate exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, and aerobic dancing, should be performed. Weight control is necessary, and obese patients should lose weight. Secondly, medication should be used to lower uric acid levels. Options include drugs that promote the excretion of uric acid and drugs that inhibit the production of uric acid, while also alkalizing the urine.
Where to massage for low blood sugar?
Hypoglycemia cannot be treated by massage. The treatment for hypoglycemia involves sugar supplementation. Mild cases can be managed by orally consuming sugar water or sweets, whereas severe cases require intravenous administration of hypertonic glucose. Additionally, it is necessary to screen for the underlying causes and treat them accordingly. Hypoglycemia is defined as blood plasma glucose levels less than 2.8mmol/L. For diabetic patients, a blood glucose level below 3.9mmol/L qualifies as hypoglycemia. The causes of hypoglycemia are numerous, including islet cell tumors, a state of starvation, enhanced insulin sensitivity due to exercise, or inappropriate use of hypoglycemic drugs in diabetic patients. The effects of hypoglycemia on the human body can be severe and require immediate treatment with sugar supplementation. Massage does not serve as a treatment for hypoglycemia.
How is gestational diabetes treated?
The treatment of gestational diabetes includes dietary therapy, exercise therapy, and insulin therapy. For dietary therapy, we mainly control the total calorie intake and supplement with elements such as calcium, iron, folic acid, and various vitamins; in exercise therapy, we aim to control the speed of weight gain, improve the peripheral tissues' utilization of glucose, and improve the lipid profile. For patients whose blood glucose levels do not meet the standards after two weeks of diet and exercise therapy, we initiate insulin therapy. The goal of insulin therapy is to control fasting blood glucose below 5.3 and postprandial blood glucose below 6.7. The methods of insulin therapy include twice daily injections, multiple daily injections, or the use of an insulin pump.
