How to balance blood sugar levels two hours after a meal

Recently, the blood sugar levels of many people are not very stable, especially some middle-aged and elderly friends. Middle-aged and elderly friends have poor physical fitness and long-term lack of physical exercise, which makes it very easy for blood sugar levels to be unbalanced. Once the blood sugar level is unbalanced, it will bring the risk of dizziness and headache to our body. It needs to be discovered and treated as soon as possible. Let us learn about how to balance the blood sugar level two hours after a meal.

The blood sugar concentration of a normal person is always maintained at 80-120 mg/dl, and the balance of blood sugar is the result of the joint regulation of nerves and body fluids.

Humoral regulation is hormone regulation: the effects of insulin and glucagon are the most typical. When blood sugar levels rise, the activity of pancreatic β cells can be rapidly enhanced and insulin can be secreted. Insulin can lower blood sugar. On the one hand, it can promote blood sugar to enter the liver, muscle, fat and other tissue cells, and synthesize glycogen, oxidatively decompose or transform into fat in these cells; on the other hand, it can inhibit the decomposition of glycogen and the conversion of non-sugar substances into glucose.

When blood sugar levels decrease, the activity of pancreatic α cells increases and glucagon is secreted. Glucagon mainly acts on the liver, where it can strongly promote the decomposition of glycogen and promote the conversion of non-sugar substances into glucose. This causes blood sugar levels to rise.

Regulatory effects of the nervous system: Adrenaline secreted by the sympathetic nervous system has similar effects to glucagon.

We must try our best to stabilize the blood sugar level within a normal range two hours after a meal. Our children and friends must protect our fathers and mothers and try not to let their blood sugar problems cause trouble to their normal life. At the same time, they can eat some foods that lower blood sugar levels.
