Diabetes patients should pay attention to "three warm in winter" exercise time should not be early

summary

Winter is coming. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we must pay attention to "nourishing and storing" in winter. What should diabetics pay attention to in winter? Let's take a look at the following.

Diabetes patients should pay attention to "three warm in winter" exercise time should not be early

First, the time of exercise for diabetic patients should be late rather than early. The time of exercise for diabetic patients should be in the afternoon rather than in the morning. Because the lowest blood sugar in the morning, prone to hypoglycemia after exercise, life-threatening. The purpose of exercise is to reduce blood sugar, prevent blood sugar significantly increased, so the effect of afternoon exercise is better. For patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, exercise should be chosen between 1 to 2 hours after insulin injection, and try to avoid exercise at the peak of insulin effect, so as to prevent hypoglycemia caused by excessive absorption of insulin. If it's postprandial exercise, it's best to do it about 1 hour after a meal. During this period of time, food digestion and absorption are faster, especially the absorption of sugar is the fastest, so the blood sugar value increases. If you start to exercise at this time, with the energy consumption of exercise, the catabolism of sugar will be enhanced, which can make the postprandial increased blood glucose fall down and prevent the fluctuation of blood glucose.

Second: keep warm: to ensure the head warm, back warm, feet warm, kidney is the driving force of human life, kidney qi, strong vitality, the body can adapt to the changes of winter, and the key to ensure kidney qi is to keep warm. Diabetic patients should pay attention to "three warm in winter". First, warm head. When the head is exposed to cold stimulation, the blood vessels will contract and the head muscles will be tense. It is easy to cause headache, cold and even gastrointestinal discomfort. The second is warm back. Cold stimulation can affect local muscles or internal organs through acupoints on the back, which is harmful to health. In addition to causing backache, back cold can also affect the muscles, joints and viscera of upper and lower limbs through the cervical spine and lumbar spine, and promote various discomfort. The third foot is warm. Once the foot is cold, it can reflexively cause the capillary contraction in the upper respiratory tract mucosa, slow down the cilia swing, and reduce the resistance. The result is that viruses and bacteria take advantage of the situation and multiply in large numbers, causing people to catch a cold.

Third: diabetic patients should avoid fasting exercise, some diabetic patients want to strengthen the effect of weight loss, fasting exercise, this is very dangerous. Because diabetics have to take hypoglycemic drugs on time, they inhibit the breakdown of glycogen in the liver. When patients increase consumption due to exercise, they are prone to hypoglycemia. Some hunger tests show that normal people do not eat for 36 hours, blood sugar will not fall too low, diabetes is not. When hypoglycemia occurs, there will be palpitation, rapid heartbeat, hand shaking, sweating and other symptoms, serious coma, and even become a vegetable, and even death. So diabetic patients must not fasting exercise, exercise also need to prevent hypoglycemia, carry some sugar timely supplement.

matters needing attention

The most common complication of diabetes is to prevent infection of respiratory tract, skin and urinary tract in diabetic patients. The sudden drop of temperature is easy to cause the decrease of resistance of respiratory tract mucosa and skin elasticity. Diabetic patients are more prone to all kinds of infections than ordinary people. Therefore, patients should pay attention to skin hygiene, often take a bath, in case of skin damage, paronychia, furuncle, folliculitis should be treated in time, at the same time, we should insist on brushing teeth and gargling in the morning and evening and after meals.
