The modern way of life is far from being associated with factors of healthy life. Eating healthy, rather than fast food, moderate physical activity, the ability to withstand stress - all these components of a healthy lifestyle are far from understood by many of us.
Often people are used to loading themselves with seven jobs, having time to do a lot at home and in the workplace, they end up with tremendous stress amid their overwork on a psychological level and then they are surprised that they are eventually diagnosed with diabetes.
Let's talk about glucose as an important energy element.
Diabetes is associated with spikes in blood sugar. Its high rate - hyperglycemia is also dangerous for human health, as well as low - hypoglycemia. Human blood sugar - this is glucose, which enters the body through the use of foods rich in carbohydrates, or produced through physiological metabolic processes.
Its excess leads to oxygen starvation of cells, and the lack is a decrease in energy potential, when the body feels the lack of the necessary resource. Treatment for diabetes is not just about injecting insulin intramuscularly.
The patient is prescribed a number of drugs that normalize the patient’s condition, among which the drug “Forsiga” is often found. Instructions for this tool will be discussed a bit below.
Awesome diabetes and its types
There are two types of diabetes.
The first type is manifested hyperglycemia. Excess sugar leads to a weakening of insulin production, which is why it is called insulin-dependent.
The second type is hypoglycemia, in which weakened tissues do not perceive the produced insulin in large quantities, an excess of it subsequently leads to a malfunction of the pancreas in relation to its production, and at the same time, hyperglycemia, which manifests itself in severe forms of this ailment.
The first type of diabetes is absolute insulin deficiency. The second type is relative.
The instruction “Forsigi” indicates that the drug is intended for the treatment of patients who are diagnosed with the second type of diabetes.
Blood sugar control
Only a doctor can correctly diagnose the type of diabetes. Its development is indicated by many factors that worsen overall well-being. The main thing in determining the type after all is a periodic indicator of blood sugar.
The blood sugar norm in children under the age of fourteen years on an empty stomach is 3.3-5.5 mmol / l, from fourteen years old and above - 3.5-5.5 mmol / l. In healthy people, the proportion of glucose entering the body is equal to the proportion of insulin produced.
Periodically, you can measure your blood sugar with a device such as a blood glucose meter.
He makes it clear what happens to the patient: he is on the verge of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, which require certain actions in relation to stopping a dangerous physiological condition. The instruction “Forsigi” recommends using the drug as a prophylaxis of attacks of hyperglycemia.
Causes of hyperglycemia and methods for its prevention
Factors affecting the manifestation of hyperglycemia in people with diabetes include a failure in the meal schedule, a saturated carbohydrate diet, an overdose of insulin, and excessive tired physical activity.
Prevention of a hyperglycemic state - the correct diet, moderate exercise and insulin intake according to the normalized needs of the body, carrying medicines that lower the sugar rate.
Possible effects of glycemia
For good reason, we are interested in the instruction “Forsigi”. After all, this medicine helps to stop the dangerous condition of patients with the second type of diabetes. That it should lie in the pocket of a person suffering from frequent bouts of glycemia. Indeed, if the patient does not receive timely help, then this is fraught with angiopathy of blood vessels, diseases of internal organs (liver, heart), coma, in which the death of brain cells that feed on glucose, and even death, occurs.
New drug inhibitor "Forsig": instructions
Now you understand what the second type of diabetes is, and why it is so important to know the drugs that are applicable during its treatment. Above, we figured out that the Forsiga medicine (instructions for use indicates this) is intended to treat the second type of diabetes. In particular, we are talking about glycemic seizures that require lowering blood sugar. More precisely, about their control and prevention.
The drug is available in tablet form: 5 or 10 mg of the active substance dapagliflozin. The daily dose is 10 mg - one tablet.
Now let's touch on the properties of the drug itself, which are also indicated by the instruction “Forsigi”. This medicine is included in the group of inhibitors. In more understandable words, this is a drug that inhibits the physiological metabolic processes in which glucose is involved. Since there is an excess of hyperglycemia, this medicine does everything possible to balance glucose and insulin in the body. Therefore, the drug is assigned to the group of hypoglycemic agents, which reduce the blood sugar, that is, they are an impetus for hypoglycemia to acceptable acceptable standards.
About these properties, which are described for the drug "Forsiga" instructions, reviews of doctors and patients are contradictory. Since diabetes is a complex disease that requires constant self-discipline and combination therapy, doctors and sick people are not always able to achieve the desired improvement in the overall physiological picture. Based on this, it should be understood that the medicine should be prescribed only by the doctor in whom the patient is observed.
More detailed information about the process of the influence of the drug on metabolic processes contains instructions for the drug "Forsiga". The description of the purpose of the drug is as follows: applicable for the treatment of patients with the second type of diabetes, is an addition to the diet in order to improve the glycemic state.
To whom are Forsiga tablets contraindicated?
This is a very new drug that doctors began to use in the treatment of patients with diabetes in 2014. This is a medicine of a foreign brand, as indicated by the instruction “Forsiga”, the manufacturer is Astra Zeneca (a Swedish-British project implemented in Russia).
Unfortunately, the drug is not suitable for all type 2 diabetics. The medicine “Forsiga” does not recommend use in the treatment of glycemia for those who have liver, kidney, children, elderly people, patients with the first type of diabetes.
Analogs with which you can replace the drug
Instructions of the analogues do not indicate the "Forsig" means. They are selected by the attending physician in cases where this medicine is not suitable for the treatment of the patient for the above reasons. The selection is made from a number of agents that have hypoglycemic properties, that is, they can significantly reduce the blood sugar to a non-dangerous value, therefore, prevent the development of hypoglycemia during the treatment of hyperglycemia.
The following medicines can be attributed to analogues: subcutaneous solution of “Viktoza”, tablets “Jardins”, “Diagnlinid” and “Novonorm”. The list of substitute drugs is large enough, which doctor should know which one to choose for treatment.
Independence in the treatment of diabetes leads to sad consequences. Therefore, always follow the recommendations of doctors and be always attentive to your well-being. After all, the patient himself can provide first effective help to himself during periods of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia in diabetes mellitus, having all the necessary accessories and medicines with him.
It’s difficult to get used to living with diabetes, but still, full-fledged life activity is possible if you adhere to the recommendations of proper nutrition, normalized physical activity and timely intake of insulin and hypoglycemic drugs.
