High temperatures in summer can easily affect blood sugar. Pay attention to 6 o'clock in daily life to protect health and control blood sugar.
Among the four seasons of the year, blood sugar in summer is relatively easy to control.
Now that hot summer is approaching, diabetic patients need to know these things in order to stabilize their blood sugar.
1 Drink more water
Summer sweats more and moves more, so people with diabetes should drink more water.
The immunity of diabetic patients is lower than that of healthy people, and dehydration can easily cause some diseases.
It should be noted that if a diabetic patient suddenly becomes thirsty, he or she should consider whether it is related to high blood sugar, and should not blindly assume that it is caused by the hot weather.
2 Regular and quantitative meals
Everyone generally has a lower appetite in summer, but people with diabetes should still insist on regular and quantitative meals.
Especially for people with diabetes who inject insulin, hypoglycemia may easily occur if their diet is reduced.
When people with diabetes go out in the summer, they can carry some food with them in case of emergency.
3 Eat fruits selectively
There are more fruits in summer, so people with diabetes should eat them selectively.
Choose fruits with low sugar content. Don’t eat too much at one time, control the amount, and eat it between meals.
If a diabetic patient has high blood sugar and cannot resist the temptation of fruits, they can use tomatoes or cucumbers instead. After blood sugar is under control, they can eat some low-sugar fruits.
4 Pay attention to exercise time
The weather is hot in summer. Diabetic patients should remember not to be exposed to the sun. Exercise can be done in the evening after the sun sets or indoors.
5 Protect your feet
Feet tend to sweat easily in summer, and diabetic patients should pay special attention to preventing foot infection.
Wash your feet frequently, do not wash your feet with too high a temperature, dry them in time after washing, and check your feet every day.
In addition, when visiting seaside cities in summer, avoid playing barefoot on the beach.
6 Pay attention to the storage of medicines
The summer is hot and the temperature is high and it is difficult to store items, especially medicines.
Patients with diabetes should pay attention to the storage requirements of medicines and avoid sun exposure.
Try to keep it in a cool and dry place to prevent damage to the medicine.
