Summer inflammation. Sugar friends guard against sweet traps.

For diabetics, summer is a challenging season, and many “sweet traps” are hidden in seemingly normal life details, and failure to pay attention can lead to blood sugar spiralling out of control and aggravating conditions. Summer temperatures are high, human metabolism increases and energy consumption increases. This would have been a good thing, but some sugar pals might have relaxed their diet. For example, all kinds of summer fruits are on the market, and watermelons, peaches, grapes, etc. are attractive and sweet. Most of these fruits, however, contain a high amount of sugar, which, if eaten unconstrainedly, can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar. Even some of the seemingly low LCDs can also have a negative effect on blood sugar following large intakes. For example, the high water content and relatively low sugar content of watermelons, while over-eating in short periods, can also make blood sugar as volatile as a roller coaster. In addition to fruit, cold drinks in the summer are a big “trap”. Ice cream, ice cream, etc. are extremely attractive to sugar friends. These cold drinks, however, usually contain a large amount of sugar and additives, which not only lead to an increase in blood sugar but may also cause gastrointestinal disorders by irritating the gastrointestinal tract by irritating the cold, affecting the digestive absorption of food and thus indirectly disrupting the stability of blood sugar. For example, some sugar friends suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhoea after eating a large glass of iced milk tea, followed by significant fluctuations in blood sugar monitoring, which has long been difficult to restore stability. When the weather is hot, people ‘ s appetite tends to be affected and their appetite is reduced. At this point in time, some sugar friends may choose not to eat their staples or reduce their regular intake, but to increase the intake of snacks. Snacks such as chips and biscuits, which are usually rich in carbohydrates and grease, are extremely hot and absorb quickly, and can easily cause rapid blood sugar to rise and continue to operate at high levels. This uneven diet can also lead to nutritional deficiencies, reduced physical resistance, increased risk of other diseases, such as infections, and further impact on diabetes control. In terms of sports, summer heat also presents problems for sugar friends. Some sugar friends reduced their exercise due to fear of heat, and even stayed in air-conditioning rooms for long periods of time almost inactive. Inadequate exercise reduces body sensitivity to insulin and prevents effective control of blood sugar. Others may choose to conduct a large amount of exercise at lower temperatures in the early morning or evening, while ignoring the importance of pre- and post-motor blood sugar monitoring and moisture recharge. Excessive exercise can lead to low blood sugar and, if not detected and addressed in a timely manner, can have serious consequences such as dizziness, panic and even coma. In addition, the summer is sweaty and the body is losing its moisture. If sugar friends fail to replenish the moisture in time, the blood becomes sticky, which not only affects the blood cycle, but may also induce cardiovascular disease. However, when refilling water, some sugared beverages or juices are not appropriate and should choose between white or light tea. The “sweet trap” in the summer is everywhere and people with diabetes must be vigilant. The diet is strictly controlled, the dietary principles of low sugar, low salt, low fat and high fibres are followed, the intake of fruits, staple foods and snacks is rationalized, and nutrition is emphasized. Maintain the right amount of exercise, pre- and post-mobilization preparation and blood sugar monitoring. At the same time, care is taken to replenish the water in a timely manner and to maintain good living habits and regularity so that it can last in the heat of the summer, so as to avoid the “sweet trap” that leads to the loss of blood sugar, and so that diabetes can be stabilized and enjoy relatively healthy and comfortable summer times.
