Diabetes 6 tips to safe winter

Winter, people with diabetes began the annual "boil winter." Why more tough winter with diabetes it? It turned out that under normal circumstances, the winter than in spring and autumn sugar high, and summer is the season of the year the lowest blood sugar. Therefore, diabetes most likely to relapse or worsen in the winter, pay special attention to health Caixing.

Cold winter temperatures will stimulate the sympathetic nerve, so that catecholamine secretion in vivo, easy to make blood sugar, platelet aggregation and thrombosis, the blood pressure, stimulate coronary artery spasm, leading to increased coronary heart disease symptoms, induced angina and so on. In response, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Oriental Hospital Chief Physician Department of Endocrinology, Xie Peifeng remind the majority of diabetic patients, diabetic patients do in winter should pay special attention to health. Zhang Taojing attending physician of the Section of Friends in particular sugar, you also summarizes the six winter health tips:

1. Warm warm: Beware of Friends of Old Sugar cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

There will be a lot of cold impact on patients with diabetes should pay attention to prevention. Cold will stimulate the sympathetic, so excited, so that catecholamine secretion in vivo, easy to make blood sugar, platelet aggregation and thrombosis, the blood pressure, cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality resulting will greatly increased. Such as the annual "cold" hit, the diabetic patients, especially elderly patients with diabetes will be an adverse physiological reaction, such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and thus of myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage was significantly increased.

Therefore, patients with diabetes should pay attention to the cold, always pay attention to weather changes, time to add clothing to keep warm. Usually through positive training, enhance the body cold and disease resistance.

2. Emotional stability: impact of negative emotions to avoid

Excessive joy, anger and sadness, the emotional volatility, and diabetes are closely linked and delicate internal, when the sympathetic nervous excitement, not only in the liver to release glycogen into the blood, leaving the blood glucose levels, and it will lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular spasm of local, making the local vascular insufficiency, and trigger acute cardiovascular events, resulting in acute myocardial infarction, or the serious consequences of acute cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, people with diabetes should learn to control their emotions, to avoid the negative emotional effects, maintaining emotional stability.

3. Abstain from food: sugar Friends of the more soup in winter

Cold, people's appetite, coupled with the introduction of colored food coveted. The face of color, flavor and taste of the food, in this case, people with diabetes must keep in mind that diet is the basis for the treatment of diabetes. Winter temperatures, reduced sweating, easily lead to a variety of digestive juice secretion, it increased appetite, elevated blood sugar is also one of the factors.

Therefore, diabetic patients should be under the guidance of a doctor, according to their scientific diet program developed to control the staple food, not eat dessert. Those who have hunger, increase non-staple food such as soy products, dairy products, eat more fresh vegetables to meet the body needs. People with diabetes also develop the habit of winter more soup. Chicken, pork ribs soup containing the body needs a variety of amino acids, soluble, easy to absorb, can enhance resistance. Also note that vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C intake, amount of fresh carrots, rape, spinach, green bean sprouts, dates, walnuts and so on.

4. Note Foot: loose sleep at night, wear double socks

Diabetes, multiple vascular dysfunction and neuropathy, resulting in local blood circulation disorder foot, nutrition disorders and local sensation, the skin broken foot or ringworm infection, may develop into a prolonged unhealed chronic ulcers, and even the development of become difficult to control severe infection or gangrene, and poor circulation and nerve damage easily lead to frostbite in the winter. If you suffer from diabetic neuropathy, sleep do not use hot water bottle or hot treasure heating. Best buy a few pairs of loose, comfortable socks, sleep can be worn for foot warmth. At the same time to prevent falls, aggressive treatment of tinea pedis, foot-free skin and rub with Shredded itching toes to prevent skin damage incurred pyogenic bacterial infection.

5. More than the sun: prevention of diabetes, osteoporosis

Complicated by diabetes appears very easy to osteoporosis, and osteoporosis in patients with diabetes is a huge hazard, not only trigger a patient body pain, can not play sports, and even cause fractures, serious impact on the quality of life of patients. Reduce the outdoor air temperature in winter, most people with diabetes to reduce the outdoor sports of the time, so the opportunity to reduce exposure to the sun, while the sun is the prevention of osteoporosis are often a very important measure. Therefore, people with diabetes to be more in the winter sun.

Also the sun is an electromagnetic wave, like a natural "stimulant." Solar radiation to the human body can cause a series of physiological changes that contribute to diabetes, such as infrared "heat" role, will telangiectasia, accelerate blood circulation. The role of UV oxidation can make melanin, the skin of vitamin D, and histamine increased gastric acid secretion. But also hemoglobin in the blood, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium content increased.

6. Reasonable exercise: Do not play too early for winter exercise

Comprehensive treatment of diabetes, exercise is an important part of the measures, but also enhance the cold winter of measures ability and disease resistance in several winter sports take control of major elements:

First, the exercise time not too long. Some elderly people feel that the longer the exercise, the better, in fact, is a misunderstanding. Exercise time should be based on your body at any time to adjust.

Second, the movement to learn to control the rhythm of their own. Winter exercise should the small amount of exercise, sports activities began a short time, do not give up your overweight, so the body adverse reactions.

Third, the movement of time, weather and location to be selected. Morning exercise time not to vote too early, while the winter sun time is short, dark out exercise, poor old eyes children may be more difficult. Also, get up too early, not enough sleep time, plus a lot of movement the body can not stand. Avoid the high winds, fog, rain and snow and other inclement weather in the exercise. In the exercise must not ignore the movement of the location. Because the elderly are in the aging of various organs, hands and feet become less flexible, so try to avoid a snow sport areas. The best way to flat area at the gates of exercise, so that by the trauma of the situation there.

Fourth, the movement should be sufficient preparation. Warm-up activity not only to do well, and exercise wear loose, comfortable, easy to change clothes. Exercise should not be overlooked when warm. Start exercising immediately took off his coat should not, such as micro heat and then gradually reduced the body, clothing, exercise at the end of the body should be wiped off the sweat, and immediately put on his clothes, to prevent the cold cold.

Finally, in particular, to remind the old man the best exercise go hand in hand, to bring communications tools like mobile phones, do not act alone. Symptomatic sick old man to take the rescue medication, such as the dilation of blood vessels, the prevention of sudden coronary heart disease. Because the event of an accident, such as heart attack or take medicine in time more useful, if not symptomatic drugs, waiting to be rescued when the elderly may not hold. Patients with diabetes should carry candy or food, to prepare food when low blood sugar episodes. Shihai elderly exercise should bring written emergency contact telephone and home address of the note, if you can write on their own suffering from the disease more conducive to help people avoid detours. If the movement suddenly began to feel flustered, chest tightness, sweating, you should stop exercising, resting-place, efforts must not strong.
