Can diabetics do manual work?

When we talk about whether people with diabetes can perform physical work, we need to be clear: sport is an important part of the management of diabetes, and a good amount of physical activity is much more beneficial to people with diabetes. But physical work also requires effort, intelligence and courage to find a healthy balance in sweat. Physical work, or physical work, is a double-edged sword for diabetics. On the one hand, moderate physical activity accelerates the metabolism of the body, promotes insulin distribution and use, helps reduce blood sugar levels, enhances CPR function and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, excessive physical activity can lead to excessive physical fatigue, low blood sugar, and even physical damage, which is undoubtedly exacerbated for diabetes patients. So how does a diabetic find a healthy balance in physical work? The point is, “Technology, wisdom, choice.” Before performing physical work, diabetes patients should have a comprehensive understanding of their physical condition, including blood sugar levels, complications, physical condition, etc. On this basis, the appropriate types of physical activity, such as light housework, horticulture, horticulture, etc., are selected to avoid overworking the physical work. In the course of physical work, diabetes patients also need to pay attention to the following: (1) blood sugar monitoring: regular monitoring of blood sugar to ensure that it is in a suitable range. (2) A reasonable diet: Before physical activity, proper food can be eaten to avoid low blood sugar. (3) Moderate rest: Avoiding continuous heavy physical labour, appropriate rest and recovery. (4) Hydraulic recharge: Physical activity can easily lead to physical sweat, timely rehydration and prevention of dehydration. (5) Timely access to medical care: in the event of any discomfort, e.g. dizziness, incompetence, dysentery, etc., physical activity shall cease immediately and access to medical care in a timely manner. In general, diabetes patients can engage in moderate physical activity, but the key is to choose the type of activity that suits them and to prepare and monitor adequately. Let’s find a healthy balance in the sweat and enjoy the pleasures and benefits of physical activity!
