Drinking water should not be restricted
Every hot summer, the number of diabetic complications is likely to continue to increase. The reason is that there is a lot of sweating in summer, and the loss of water in the body is very large, especially the elderly diabetic patients have no obvious thirst after dehydration. Once the water is not replenished in time, Diabetic nonketotic hyperosmolar coma may occur.
Diabetic patients are often thirsty and drink a lot of water, and many patients think that they should control drinking water after suffering from diabetes. In fact, this is a big mistake. Drinking more water is a manifestation of water shortage in the body, and it is a protective reaction of the human body. After suffering from diabetes, controlling drinking water not only can not treat diabetes, but will make diabetes more serious, which can cause ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma. very dangerous. Therefore, people with diabetes should not limit their drinking water, but they should not drink a lot of water at one time or drink too cold cold drinks. Avoid drinking beverages with high sugar content and gas-containing beverages, and should drink more cold water or herbal tea.
No bare feet or sandals
Summer is also a good season for diabetic foot. Diabetic patients are prone to neuropathy. Peripheral nerve necrosis does not feel pain, nor can they sense the outside temperature normally. Moreover, this neuropathy is very hidden, and patients often do not know that they have the disease.
In hot summer, people dress cooler and sometimes go barefoot, and people with diabetes have more chances of accidental injury. Some stepped on pebbles, causing foot ulcers and inflammation, some stepped on glass and cut blood, and some cut their nails and cut flesh. To make matters worse, diabetics are often unaware of the injury and fail to treat the wound in time, which can lead to infection and, in some cases, death from tetanus.
Therefore, diabetic patients must pay attention to going out in summer. Try not to walk barefoot, don't wear sandals, and stay away from the beach; wear old shoes that you are used to; be very careful when walking on gravel, sharp stones, hot sand, and hot stones, and don't walk for too long. Carefully check the feet every day for minor injuries, such as abrasions, lacerations, etc., and seek medical attention in time if any problems are found.
Pay attention to the "three fears"
Diabetes causes problems such as decreased immunity and peripheral neuropathy, turning diabetics into untouchable "glass people". Small problems in the eyes of some healthy people may bring them fatal danger. Therefore, diabetic patients have "three fears".
First, sudden cold and sudden heat are afraid of catching a cold
The high temperature for dozens of consecutive days, followed by the pouring rain, made the heart cool, and sometimes the weather was hot and cold, making diabetic patients more susceptible to respiratory infections. Once infected, the patient's blood sugar levels are more difficult to control. Such a vicious cycle may even lead to lung infections. In order to prevent problems before they happen, clothing must be changed frequently. If possible, keep a coat in the office or in your carry-on bag.
Second, unclean diet is afraid of diarrhea .
Gastroenteritis is a high incidence in summer, and the resulting dehydration often increases blood sugar in a very short time, resulting in ketoacidosis. Therefore, diabetic patients should pay more attention to dietary hygiene, and they should not eat more irritating foods such as ice water and cold drinks. If you have an upset stomach, you should see a doctor in time and tell your doctor about your diabetes history.
The third is sluggish feeling and fear of hurting the feet
People with diabetes have sluggish foot sensation and slow wound healing. Foot injuries can cause serious problems.
Do three points, a good time to control sugar in summer
The weather is hot in summer, and the energy consumption is greater than that in other seasons when the exercise intensity and time remain unchanged. Therefore, diabetic patients should insist on exercising in summer, but do not exercise excessively to prevent blood sugar from being too high or too low.
In summer, the weather is hot and the appetite is lost, which is helpful for diabetic patients to control their diets. However, with the availability of various cold drinks and fruits, some patients cannot withstand the temptation and think that they can supplement their meals with drinks and fruits. The result is blood sugar fluctuations. Therefore, in summer, diabetic patients should also limit the intake of various snacks while paying attention to controlling their meals.
Diabetic patients must strengthen the monitoring of blood sugar in summer. Blood sugar and blood sugar should be measured after three meals a day, before going to bed, and after exercise to understand the effect after exercise. Patients with unstable blood sugar control should also measure fasting blood sugar, make blood sugar records, and visit the hospital regularly.
Attachment: Can diabetics eat fruit
Fruits are rich in nutrients, as long as you pay attention to how you eat them, moderate intake is beneficial and harmless. The best time to eat fruit is between meals or before going to bed, start with a small amount, and at the same time pay attention to observe the blood sugar, if the blood sugar rises, stop or reduce the amount.
The following lists the types of common fruits and their appropriate weights in summer. Patients can choose any of them, one serving per day: persimmon, banana, fresh lychee (with skin) 150 grams; plums, apricots 200 grams; pears, peaches, apples (with skin) 200 grams; 200 grams of grapes; 200 grams of oranges, oranges, grapefruit (with skin); 300 grams of strawberries; 200 grams of kiwi; 500 grams of watermelon (with skin).
