What is the difference between blood sugar and blood lipids

Many people in life belong to the group of "three highs". The so-called "three highs" are high blood sugar, high blood lipids, and high blood pressure. These conditions will appear in people and cause great impact on the body, and even some irreversible damage. When high blood sugar and high blood lipids appear, it should be noted that the difference between the two is very large.

What to do if blood sugar and blood lipids are high

High blood sugar, high blood lipids and high blood pressure are called the three highs. The three highs are extremely harmful to the human body. If a patient has both high blood sugar and high blood lipids, that is, two of the three highs, then you must be careful. It will not cause much damage to your body in the short term, but it can cause irreversible damage to your body over time.

The main factors affecting blood sugar and blood lipids are related to human diet, so the first thing to do is to adjust the dietary structure. That means eating low-energy, low-fat, low-cholesterol and low-sugar foods, and eating more high-fiber plants, such as whole grains, and more fruits and vegetables. In addition, try to eat less or no animal offal, and eat less eggs, especially egg yolks, which contain a lot of triglycerides and cholesterol.

In addition, you should have a regular daily life, not smoke, and limit drinking. You should also strengthen physical exercise, but in moderation every day. Another thing is to pay attention to controlling your weight. In addition, if your blood sugar and blood lipids are still high after taking all these measures, you should undergo medication treatment.

The sugar in the blood is called blood sugar, and in most cases it is glucose. The normal fasting blood sugar concentration in the morning is 80~120 mg%. A fasting blood sugar concentration exceeding 130 mg% is called hyperglycemia. If the blood sugar concentration exceeds 160~180 mg%, some glucose will be excreted in the urine, which is called diabetes. A blood sugar concentration below 70 mg% is called hypoglycemia.

The lipids contained in plasma are collectively called blood lipids. Main types: (1) Cholesterol (2) Triglycerides (3) Phospholipids (4) Free fatty acids

Hyperlipidemia refers to elevated levels of cholesterol or triglycerides in plasma.

High blood lipids can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
