The National Health Commission held a press conference on the 6th. Xiao Xinhua, the chief physician of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said at the meeting that more and more young and middle-aged people, even teenagers, are being "targeted" by diabetes. Referring to the view that "diabetes is a geriatric disease", Xiao Xinhua said that with the change of lifestyle, type 2 diabetes is becoming younger and younger. This is also a very important theme of this year's United Nations diabetes Day, which is to focus on diabetes in the workplace. Xiao Xinhua said that young and middle-aged people are not only the main force of the society, but also the backbone of the family. They shoulder huge pressure, work hard, and life is not very regular. "Why should we pay attention to these workplace diabetics now? Because these people are the backbone of society and are very important productive forces." Xiao Xinhua pointed out that these lifestyle changes will cause a great burden on the function of pancreatic islets. "It is precisely because of this unhealthy lifestyle that more and more young and middle-aged people, even teenagers, are being 'targeted' by diabetes." Xiao Xinhua said that intervention in a healthy lifestyle is the basis for prevention and treatment of diabetes. Diabetes emphasizes three levels of prevention, and primary prevention is a timely lifestyle intervention for people at high risk of diabetes. This lifestyle intervention is very simple, which is to control your mouth and spread your legs. Secondary prevention is to screen and diagnose high-risk populations in a timely manner. If diabetes is diagnosed, standardized management should be carried out for patients in time to control blood sugar and avoid complications. The tertiary prevention is mainly to manage the patients with diabetes who have a long course of disease and even have complications, slow down the development of complications and improve their quality of life. Xiao Xinhua pointed out that the most important aspect of tertiary prevention is primary prevention, and lifestyle interventions are crucial. Regular screening, early lifestyle intervention, keeping your mouth shut and taking steps are the most economical and effective methods. Prevention before illness is always better than treatment after illness
