Ake sifunde ngezinto ezisizayo zesifo sikashukela ezikusiza ukuthi uphile nesifo sikashukela.

Isifo sikashukela i-Mellitus yisimo esihlala isikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke, uma amazinga kashukela egazini, noma ushukela wegazi, engalawulwa kahle, kungavela izinkinga ezinkulu zempilo. Ngakho-ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uqonde ngokugcwele ukuthi ungawathenga kanjani amakhithi okuhlola isifo sikashukela kanye nemithi, nokuthi ungawasebenzisa kanjani ngendlela efanele.

Kungani kubalulekile ukuhlola amazinga kashukela egazini lakho ekhaya?

Ukuhlola amazinga kashukela egazini lakho ekhaya kubalulekile ekulawuleni isifo sikashukela sakho nokuphila impilo evamile. Udokotela wakho noma umfundisi wesifo sikashukela uzokutshela ukuthi kufanele uhlole kangaki ngosuku ushukela wakho wegazi nokuthi ungakwenza kanjani. Kungumqondo omuhle ukubonisa ukuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani imitha ye-glucose ephambi kwabo izikhathi ezimbalwa ngokwemiyalelo. Ngaleyo ndlela, bangaqinisekisa ukuthi ukwenza kahle.

Ngokuvamile, kuzodingeka uhlole izinga likashukela egazini lakho okungenani kanye ekuseni ngaphambi kokudla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuwumqondo omuhle ukuhlola izinga likashukela egazini lakho ngaphambi kwesidlo sasemini, isidlo sakusihlwa, nangaphambi kokulala. Ngezinye izikhathi udokotela wakho angakucela ukuthi uhlole izinga likashukela egazini lakho cishe ihora ngemva kokudla.

Amazinga kashukela egazini avame ukuhlolwa kanje:

• Okokuqala, hlaba umunwe wakho ngedivayisi enenaliti encane (i-lancet) efakwe esihlokweni somunwe wakho.
• Bese ubeka ithonsi legazi eliphumayo emgqeni wokuhlola.
• Faka umucu wokuhlola ku-glucometer.
• Funda inani eliboniswe esikrinini semitha.

Uma uthatha i-insulin, kungadingeka ulungise umthamo wakho we-insulin ngokusekelwe kuleli nani.

Yimiphi eminye imishini yesifo sikashukela engiyidingayo?

Izinto okudingeka uzithenge zingahluka kuye ngokuthi unesifo sikashukela sohlobo 1 noma sohlobo 2. Kodwa kunezinto ezithile ozodinga ngokujwayelekile. Ake sibheke ukuthi ziyini.

Izinto okufanele uzicabangele lapho ukhetha i-glucometer

Ama-glucose meter ayimishini emincane, eqhutshwa yibhethri, ephathwa ngesandla. Kunezinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene zamamitha emakethe. Uhlobo ngalunye lunezinzuzo nezinkinga zalo. Amanani ayahlukahluka kakhulu kuye ngezici ozidingayo.

Uma ukhetha imitha, cabanga ngalezi zinto:

• Kulula ukuyisebenzisa: Ingabe kulula ukuyisebenzisa?
• Isivinini: Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthola imiphumela? (Amamitha amaningi atholakalayo namuhla anikeza imiphumela ngaphansi kwemizuzwana eyi-15.)
• Ukunemba: Amanani anikeziwe anembe kangakanani?
• Inani legazi elidingekayo: Amanye amamitha adinga igazi eliningi kunezinye. Lokhu kubalulekile kokubili ezinganeni ezincane nakubantu asebekhulile.
• Usayizi wesikrini: Isikrini esinezinombolo ezinkulu nezicacile silungele kakhulu labo abangaboni kahle.
• Imemori kanye nedatha:Amanye amamitha angakhumbula imiphumela yakho yokuhlolwa. Angakukhombisa nezilinganiso phakathi nezinsuku eziningana. Amanye angaxhuma nekhompyutha noma ifoni ukuze abuke amagrafu amazinga kashukela wakho. Lokhu kuwusizo kakhulu kuwe nakudokotela wakho.

Ngokusekelwe emiphumeleni evela kule mitha, ungenza izinqumo mayelana nemithi yakho yansuku zonke (isibonelo, umthamo we-insulin), ukudla okudlayo (ukubalwa kwama-carbohydrate), kanye nokuzivocavoca umzimba.

Ungayigcina kanjani imithi nemishini ngendlela efanele?

Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu. Uma imishini yakho kanye nemithi kungagcinwanga kahle, kungase kulahlekelwe ukusebenza kwayo.

Isitoreji se-insulin

Uma usebenzisa i-insulin, udokotela wakho uzokunikeza imiyalelo eqondile yokuthi ungayigcina kanjani. Abanye abakhiqizi batusa ukugcina i-insulin efrijini. Kodwa-ke, i-insulin ebandayo ingaba buhlungu kancane ukuyijova. Abantu abaningi bagcina i-vial abayisebenzisayo emazingeni okushisa egumbi. I-insulin ingagcinwa emazingeni okushisa egumbi cishe inyanga. Ungagcina ama-vial engeziwe efrijini, uyikhiphe eyodwa uma uyidinga bese uyivumela ukuthi ifike emazingeni okushisa egumbi ngaphambi kokuyisebenzisa.

Ungalokothi ugcine i-insulin efrijini. Futhi, ungayigcini ezindaweni ezishisayo, njengaselangeni.

Ukugcina eminye imishini

Imichilo yokuhlola kufanele igcinwe kude nomswakama ngokuphelele. Futhi ungayibeki ekushiseni okukhulu noma emakhazeni. Ukwenza kanjalo kuzokwenza ukuthi inganikezi imiphumela enembile. Kungcono ukugcina yonke into endaweni eyodwa, njengedrowa, njenge-glucose meter yakho, i-insulin, amasirinji, ama-lancet, kanye nama-alcohol swabs. Ngaleyo ndlela, ungazithola kalula uma uzidinga.

Wenzani uma ukhohlwa ukwenza lezi zinto nsuku zonke?

Ngezinye izikhathi kungaba nzima ukukhumbula ukuphuza imithi yakho noma ukuhlola ushukela wegazi lakho ngesikhathi esifanayo nsuku zonke. Zama lawa maqhinga amancane ukukusiza ukwenza lokho.

• Yifake komunye umsebenzi wansuku zonke: Isibonelo, kwenze umkhuba ukuhlola ushukela wakho bese uthatha umuthi wakho lapho uxubha amazinyo akho ekuseni.
• Gcina konke endaweni eyodwa: Gcina imishini yakho kanye nemithi endaweni lapho ungayibona khona njalo futhi uyifinyelele kalula.
• Setha i-alamu: Setha i-alamu efonini yakho noma ewashini elincane ngesikhathi esizayo lapho udinga ukuthatha imithi yakho noma ukuhlola ushukela egazini lakho.
• Yenza ishadi: Yenza ishadi ngokubhala phansi izinto okudingeka uzenze ngalolo suku (ukuhlola ushukela egazini lakho, ukuphuza imithi yakho), bese ubeka uphawu lokuhlola phambi kwalo uma usuqedile.

Ingabe kukhona amadivayisi amasha asiza ekuphatheni isifo sikashukela?

Yebo, ngokuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe, kunezinhlobo eziningana zamadivayisi amasha asiza ukulawula isifo sikashukela.

• Uhlelo Lokuqapha I-glucose Oluqhubekayo (i-CGMS): Lolu uhlelo oluqapha amazinga kashukela egazini lakho njalo usuku lonke (kufaka phakathi nobusuku). Imininingwane oyitholayo ingakusiza ukuthi wenze izinqumo ezingcono mayelana nokudla kwakho, ukuzivocavoca umzimba kanye nemithi.
• Iphampu Ye-Insulin: Lena idivayisi encane ehambisa i-insulin emzimbeni ngesikhathi esifanele, ngomthamo ofanele. Lokhu kusiza kakhulu ekugcineni izinga likashukela egazini lifana. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kuyabiza kakhulu . Kufanele ukhulume nodokotela wakho mayelana nokuthi idivayisi enjalo ikufanele yini nokuthi yiziphi izinzuzo nezinkinga zayo.

Ungaba kanjani ohlakaniphile lapho uthenga imishini?

Cabanga ngalezi zici ukuze uthole inani elifanele imali yakho futhi uvikele impilo yakho.

• Qhathanisa amanani: Hlola amanani ezindaweni eziningana ngaphambi kokuthenga imishini.
• Thenga emthonjeni othembekile: Njalo thenga lokhu kuphela ekhemisi likahulumeni lesibhedlela, ekhemisi elithembekile, noma enhlanganweni ethembekile.
• Hlola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi: Qiniseka ukuthi uhlola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi ezintweni ezifana nemithi kanye nemigqa yokuhlola. Ungazithengi izinto ezizophelelwa yisikhathi.
• Imishini enephutha: Uma usola ukuthi i-glucometer inephutha ngemuva kokuyithenga, yibuyisele bese ucela entsha. Ukusebenzisa i-meter enikeza imiphumela engalungile kungabeka impilo yakho engozini.
• Hlola iphakheji: Ezintweni ezifana nemichilo yokuhlola, hlola ukuze ubone ukuthi iphakheji ike yavulwa yini ngaphambilini. Thola iphakheji evaliwe, engavulwanga.
