Holidays are a good time to relax and enjoy life. However, for diabetics, vacations can also become a “high-risk area” for blood sugar. Food-attraction, irregularity, and reduced mobility may have caused the blood sugar level to rise. So, how do we keep the blood sugar stable on happy holidays? Please bear in mind the following recommendations. 1. The plan is to go ahead and have a good diet: the holiday party is not without good food, but it is important not to let go. Food is planned in advance, as much as possible for low-GI foods, and when you face desserts or high-sweet drinks, you can taste the right amount, so as not to over-ingestion lead to a sudden rise in blood sugar. 2. Timing, regularity: While vacations can easily disrupt normal hours, regular life is essential for controlling blood sugar. Try to maintain normal eating habits and eat on time to avoid large meals after a long period of hunger. In addition, adequate sleep is an important factor in regulating blood sugar, ensuring as much as possible quality sleep at 7-9 hours a night. 3. Activate and full of energy: While vacations are time off, proper exercise is equally important. Walking after dinner or simple home exercise is a good choice. Sport can help to increase body sensitivity to insulin and to promote the use of blood sugar, thus reducing its levels. Remember to adjust your motor strength and time to your physical condition! 4. Surveillance of blood sugar in the heart: during the holiday period, do not forget to monitor it regularly. Know your own blood sugar fluctuations, adjust diets and habits in time. If an abnormal increase in blood sugar is detected, do not panic, first analyse the cause (if it is too much or too sweet for a meal) and then take appropriate measures and, if necessary, consult a doctor. 5. Attitudinal peace and access to holidays: maintaining a good mind is also key to controlling blood sugar. The vacation is a time of relaxing and enjoying, without being too nervous about blood sugar fluctuations. Learn to depress, have fun time with your family and friends, and make joyful moods the best sugar medicine.
The holidays are good and health is more important. With a little attention and a reasonable plan, we can get away from high blood sugar while we’re on vacation.
