We have already ushered in the hot summer sun, and the health of the three high patients is also facing the test, how can the diabetes patients be safe in summer? The small editor summed up some simple and effective measures to prevent diabetes, summarized as "three characters", sugar friends Let's learn from it.
1. Measure blood sugar and adjust the amount of medicine. Increased temperature and reduced exercise can change the rate at which the body absorbs insulin and also affect the need for medication. Therefore, measuring blood glucose in the summer helps to monitor blood glucose levels more accurately so that the dose can be adjusted in time.
2. Store the medicine and it must be cool. Insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents, test strips and blood glucose meters should be stored in a cool, dry and dimly lit place. Never put them in the storage compartment and trunk of the car's front windshield, or in direct sunlight. The place. Insulin must be refrigerated but not frozen. When you go out, put the insulin in a waterproof zipper bag, wrap it in a towel, and put it in the cooler with the ice bag.
3. Drink plenty of water and eat melons. Excessive sweating or excessive exercise during hot and humid summers leads to dehydration, which causes an increase in blood sugar. To make matters worse, elevated blood sugar can cause frequent urination and further exacerbate dehydration. To prevent this vicious circle, most diabetes experts recommend that patients drink 8 glasses of water a day (equivalent to 1600 ml) or other fluids; if the amount of activity is large, the amount of water will increase accordingly. In addition, under the premise of controlling sugar intake, you can eat more fruits and vegetables with more water, such as various berries, citrus, broccoli, celery, cucumber, bell pepper, tomato and green leafy vegetables.
4. Sweet snacks, carry with you. When you are away from home, sugar friends should carry some foods that are easy to chew, such as oranges, nuts, whole wheat crackers, canned tuna, low-fat cheese, dried apricots or raisins. When hypoglycemia occurs, it will not be caught off guard.
5. Limited drinking, anti-dehydration. Alcoholic beverages are actually a diuretic that causes people to lose more body fluids and further aggravate dehydration. In general, women with diabetes should not drink more than 1 cup per day (5 ounces, or about 142 grams), and male diabetics should not exceed 2 cups. In addition, you should not drink alcohol on an empty stomach to avoid hypoglycemia. In addition, keep away from caffeinated drinks and sugary carbonated drinks, as these drinks will also accelerate the body's dehydration.
6. Wear sunglasses, sunscreen. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to sun protection when going out in summer. The reason is that ultraviolet rays are strong in summer, and long-term exposure can cause phototoxic reactions of the skin and increase the risk of skin necrosis. When you go out, you should apply a sunscreen with a sun protection index of at least 30 and a long-sleeved shirt. On the other hand, you should wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your face, especially your eyes. Diabetes patients are 2 to 5 times more likely to develop cataracts than normal people. When buying sunglasses, choose lenses that block more than 99% of long-wave UV and medium-wave UV. Once you feel overheated outdoors, you should immediately return to the shade or indoors.
7. Come out in the morning and evening, go to the gym. In the summer and evening, the temperature is relatively low. It is best to choose these two time periods for the exercise of diabetic patients. The exercise method can choose walking, doing exercises, and doing Tai Chi, among which walking is most beneficial to the recovery of diabetic patients.
8. Cool towel to prevent heat stroke. Diabetic-induced nerve damage can prevent the sweat gland from working properly. Therefore, the risk of heat stroke in diabetic patients is greater than that of ordinary people. Symptoms include sweating, extreme fatigue, dizziness, confusion, nausea and vomiting, hot flashes of skin, pale face, or pale face. Redness, muscle spasm, elevated body temperature and rapid changes in breathing. If any of the above symptoms occur, you should take a break in an air-conditioned room, drink plenty of cold water and seek medical attention immediately. In order to prevent heat stroke, when diabetics go out when they are hot, it is best to hang a cool towel around their neck to lower the body temperature. In addition, to wear clothes that absorb sweat and have good heat dissipation properties, if the clothes are too thick or poorly ventilated, it may cause excessive sweating and body temperature, and increase the risk of dehydration, heatstroke and hypoglycemia.
In addition, due to the large temperature difference in the morning and evening in summer, patients should also pay attention to the temperature of the air conditioning should not be too low, in order to protect against cold, cold and easy to cause upper respiratory tract infection.
