What Is the Connection Between Menopause and Weight Gain?

Diabetes is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder. Menopausal women are susceptible to diabetes, which is determined by the characteristics of menopausal glucose metabolism. The secretion of insulin is related to the pituitary adrenocortical hormones and sex hormones. Women's hormones are dysregulated in the body, the body's glucose tolerance is reduced, the insulin secretion is absolutely or relatively insufficient, the glucose metabolism is disturbed, hyperglycemia occurs, and diabetes occurs.

Menopause Diabetes Diabetes is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder. Menopausal women are prone to diabetes, which is determined by the characteristics of menopause glucose metabolism. The secretion of insulin is related to the pituitary adrenocortical hormones and sex hormones. Women's hormones are dysregulated in the body, the body's glucose tolerance is reduced, the insulin secretion is absolutely or relatively insufficient, the glucose metabolism is disturbed, hyperglycemia occurs, and diabetes occurs.
I. Etiology and pathogenesis 1. Western medicine causes pathological menopausal women with reduced estrogen and weakened insulin stimulation, or the islet B-cells' reduced ability to respond to glucose stimulation, coupled with reduced physical activity, weight gain, and resistance in the body Insulin-resistant anti-insulin substances can weaken the regulating effect of insulin on blood sugar, affect the oxidation and utilization of sugar, thereby increasing blood sugar, causing sugar, fat and protein metabolism disorders, leading to diabetes.
2. The main mechanism of this disease caused by TCM etiology and pathogenesis is physical yin deficiency, unhealthy diet, emotional disorders, excessive exertion, dry heat and yin, and thirst.
Unhealthy diet: long-term consumption of fat and sweet wine, thick taste of wine, dryness and irritation of food, damage to the spleen and stomach, loss of spleen and stomach transport, heat accumulation in the stomach, consumption of valleys and fluids, insufficient fluid, and hair loss.
Emotional disorders: long-term excessive mental stimulation, depression and anger hurt the liver, stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of stagnation, burning of stomach fluid, consumption of kidney fluid, and thirst.
Overwork: Excessive intercourse, loss of kidney essence, endogenous deficiency of fire, yin deficiency and fire, exacerbation of thirst.
2. Diagnosis 1. Clinical manifestations The typical clinical manifestations of diabetes are polydipsia, polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss. However, menopausal diabetes is often concealed, with mild or no symptoms, only at the time of physical examination or for other diseases, or because of some atypical symptoms of diabetes. For menopausal women who are obese, they have recently lost weight, have no apparent cause of palpitations, fatigue, spontaneous sweating, obvious hunger, visual loss without obvious cause, blurred vision, repeated bloating, itching of the vulva, limb ulcers, More, and those with a family history of diabetes should be examined in detail.
2. The auxiliary examination mainly checks the blood glucose or glucose tolerance test.
If you have diabetes symptoms, you can be diagnosed with diabetes at any time when the venous plasma glucose is> 11.1 mmol / L (200 mg / d1) and the fasting venous plasma glucose is> 7.8 mmol / L (140 mg / d1).
If the result is suspicious, OGTT (75 g of oral glucose for adults) should be performed for 2 hours, blood glucose> 11.1 mmol / L (200 mg / dl), and diabetes can be diagnosed. Blood glucose> 7.8mmol / L-<11.1mmol / L is impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
If there are no symptoms of diabetes, in addition to the above two diagnostic criteria, an additional indicator must be added to assist the diagnosis, that is, 1 degree or 2 degrees on the OGTT curve, blood glucose> 11.1 mmol / L or another fasting blood glucose> 7.8 mmol / L.
Third, treatment 1. Western medical method for menopausal diabetes asymptomatic or asymptomatic patients, appropriate diet can be effective. The diet must contain sufficient nutrition and the right proportions of sugar, protein and fat. The protein is calculated based on 0.8-1.2g (average 1.0g) per kilogram of standard body weight per day for adults, accounting for about 15% to 20% of total calories. Fat accounts for 30% to 35%, and the rest is sugar. Obese people should slowly reduce their weight to less than 5% of the normal standard. A crude fiber diet should be used, and severe people should be treated with drugs.
Glycogen (Glibenclamide): 2.5-20mg daily, divided into 1-3 times.
Jiangtangling (Phenethylformin): 25-100mg daily, taking 1-3 times.

Tangshiping (glitazone) 30-180mg daily, taking 1-2 times.
Metformin (metformin) 500-2000mg daily, divided into 2-3 times.
Baitangping (Acarbose) 100-300mg daily, divided into 2-3 times.
