Diabetes is a common chronic disease, and its development and seasonal changes are inextricably linked. In general, winter is a difficult season for diabetes patients. Temperature stimulates and excretions the human cosmopolitan nerve, increasing the circulosis of chlorophenolamine, inhibiting insulin; on the other hand, the body increases the adrenaline sepsis and increases blood sugar for cold. At the same time, the combination of reduced movement, lower calorie consumption and the ease of diet during festivals, such as spring festivals, makes winter blood sugar levels volatile and high, a period of increased diabetes and high complications.
And in summer, diabetes patients are relatively easy. Higher temperatures, increased metabolism in humans and increased energy consumption, with blood sugar usually lower than in other seasons. This does not mean, however, that it is easy to sweat more in the summer, and if water is not replenished in time, blood concentration can also cause blood sugar to fluctuate. Moreover, summer foods are susceptible to deterioration and, if the miseating food causes gastrointestinal infections, it can cause a sharp rise in blood sugar and even induce acute complications such as diabetes ketone acid poisoning.
At spring and autumn festival, the temperature is moderate and the blood sugar of diabetes patients is relatively stable. However, early in the spring and autumn the temperature is much worse, and if people with diabetes do not add to their clothes in time, the cold can affect blood sugar control.
In response to seasonal changes, diabetes patients require different coping strategies. During the winter, special attention is paid to keeping warm and to choosing indoor sports, such as Tai Chi Fist, yoga, etc., and to strictly control caloric intake in the diet, avoiding high sugar and fat foods and eating more of the food-rich vegetables. Blood sugar is monitored on a regular basis and drug doses are adjusted to the condition of blood sugar. During the summer, water is replenished in a timely manner, carrying water cups and guaranteeing 1,500-2000 ml of drinking water per day. Watch out for food hygiene. Food is clean and cooked. The exercise may be conducted in the morning or in the evening when it is relatively cool, avoiding heat. In the spring and autumn, regular reviews are carried out on the basis of changes in temperature, the timely increase and reduction of clothing, the prevention of cold, the maintenance of regular living and treatment programmes. Diabetes patients need to understand that, while the seasons affect their condition, if they manage their own responses and improve their self-management, they will be able to survive the seasons smoothly, effectively controlling blood sugar, reducing the risk of complications and enjoying a healthy life.
