Do not fast if…
Do not fast if your blood sugar level is;
Less than 4 mmol/L.
If it is more than 16 mmol/L:
Drink a lot of water
Test your blood sugar level every 4 hours.
See a doctor if blood sugar is often more than 16 mmol/L
Cancel the fast if you experience signs of low, or high blood sugar or feel unwell.
Jangan berpuasa jika…
Jangan berpuasa jika paras gula dalam darah anda adalah;
Kurang daripada 4 mmol/L.
Jika lebih daripada 16 mmol/L:
Minum air yang banyak
Uji tahap gula darah anda setiap 4 jam.
Jumpa doktor jika gula dalam darah selalunya melebihi 16 mmol/L
Batalkan puasa jika anda mengalami tanda-tanda gula darah rendah atau tinggi atau berasa tidak sihat.
How to get your sugar level higher than 4.0mmol/L
Drink a drink or food that contains 15g of carbohydrates.
Examples:
1 tablespoon (or 3 teaspoons) of white sugar
½ packet (125mls) of sweet syrup (not the "less sweet")
½ can of a normal soft drink such as Coca-cola (do not choose "without sugar")
4 to 7 sugars (not the “sugar-free”)
3 glucose tablets
* Always be prepared; take candy or sweets with you.
* Avoid fatty foods such as chocolate because they will delay the absorption of sugar into the blood.
Bagaimana untuk mendapatkan paras gula anda lebih tinggi daripada 4.0mmol/L
Minum minuman atau makanan yang mengandungi 15g karbohidrat.
Contoh:
1 sudu besar (atau 3 sudu teh) gula putih
½ paket (125mls) sirap manis (bukan "kurang manis")
½ tin minuman ringan biasa seperti Coca-cola (jangan pilih "tanpa gula")
4 hingga 7 gula (bukan "bebas gula")
3 tablet glukosa
* Sentiasa bersedia; bawa gula-gula atau gula-gula bersama anda.
* Elakkan makanan berlemak seperti coklat kerana ia akan melambatkan penyerapan gula ke dalam darah.
After having the drink, test your sugar level 15 minutes later.
If your sugar level is still less than 4.0 mmol/L, repeat the previously mentioned steps.
If your sugar level is over 4.0 mmol/L:
Eat food with complex starches (carbohydrates).
Examples:
Normal Meal
1 slice of bread
3 pieces of ordinary biscuits (plain crackers)
1 glass of low-fat milk (250ml)]
Selepas minum, uji tahap gula anda 15 minit kemudian.
Jika paras gula anda masih kurang daripada 4.0 mmol/L, ulangi langkah yang dinyatakan sebelum ini.
Jika paras gula anda melebihi 4.0 mmol/L:
Makan makanan dengan kanji kompleks (karbohidrat).
Contoh:
Hidangan Biasa
1 keping roti
3 keping biskut biasa (keropok kosong)
1 gelas susu rendah lemak (250ml)
