Declining immunity: Invisible threat from diabetes

Does the diabetics know that the “sweet burden” not only affects blood sugar, but may also quietly reduce our immunity? Today, we come to unmask the hidden threat and explore ways to protect our defence system. First, let’s understand immunity. Immunization is like our body’s bodyguard, protecting us from viruses and bacteria. Diabetes diabetics, due to chronic high blood sugar, may impair the health guard ‘ s function, increase the risk of infection, slow the healing of wounds and even affect the response to vaccines. In short, reduced immunity may increase the vulnerability of diabetes patients and slow recovery. So how do we know if our immunity has decreased? Some common signals include frequent flu, slow healing of wounds, increased fatigue, etc. If those signs were to emerge, it might be time to check our blood sugar control and take some measures to increase our immunity. The good news is that we can prevent and increase immunity in a number of simple ways: (1) Control of blood sugar: good blood sugar control is key to increasing immunity. Following medical instructions, blood sugar is regularly monitored and appropriate dietary and sports measures are taken. (2) Healthy diet: Increased consumption of immunely enhanced foods such as citrus fruit, nuts and seafood, such as vitamin C and E, zinc and selenium. (3) Momentum: Normal Momental Motion enhances the immune system. The target is a medium-intensity exercise of at least 150 minutes per week, such as leaving or cycling. (4) Sufficient sleep: guaranteed high-quality sleep of 7-8 hours per night to help body recovery and maintenance of normal immune function. (5) Pressure reduction: Long-term stress affects immunity. Try meditation, yoga, or deep-breathing exercises to relieve stress. (6) Periodic medical examinations: periodic medical examinations, including eye, foot and kidney functions, as well as necessary vaccinations. Declining immunity may be a hidden threat to diabetes patients, but through proper blood sugar control, healthy lifestyles and regular medical examinations we can effectively protect and enhance our immunity. Remember, a healthy lifestyle is an important weapon for increasing immunity from diabetes. Let us work together, stay healthy and enjoy a good life.
