Diabetes patient care in winter


 Proper diet, lifestyle control and physical activity in addition to these three, blood glucose levels should be measured regularly to determine the level of insulin or medication.


Winter is coming with a blanket of fog.  At this time pithapuli, date juice paise, various sweets and other delicacies.  But these foods increase blood glucose levels.  Without it, regular walking or exercise is not possible due to winter.  As a result, diabetes suddenly becomes uncontrollable.  At this time, people get colds, coughs, tonsillitis, pneumonia and various respiratory diseases - asthma or shortness of breath.  In addition, arthritis or rheumatism, heart problems increase the incidence.  If you have uncontrolled diabetes, the complications of these diseases increase.


 Remember, controlling diabetes is important throughout the year.  Avoid sweet foods, molasses, sugar or juice made pithapuli and pies.  Exclude desserts and cold drinks when attending a festival or party.  Choose salads, vegetables, roasts, grilled foods.  Walk or exercise for at least some time each day.  Severe winters increase the risk of heart attack early in the morning.  At this time patients with high blood pressure and diabetes are at higher risk.  So you should not walk in the fog in winter, you should walk or exercise when the sun rises a little.  In the light sweet sun of the morning, your body and mind will become bright.  If you can't do that, you can walk in the afternoon or any other time of the day.  However, you should not walk or exercise on an empty stomach or on a full stomach.


At this time there is a lot of supply of vegetables in the market.  Eat more vegetables and fruits.  The fiber and anti-oxidants present in these maintain the vitality of the body and help in digestion of food.  The body feels dull.  Fresh fruits and vegetables contain biotin which keeps skin and hair healthy.  Drink enough pure water.  If you want to eat paise, pithapuli or sweets, use artificial sweeteners like sucrose, aspartame etc. instead of sugar or molasses.


 Winter cold and dryness increase the risk of diabetes in diabetic patients.  Diabetes patients should monitor their feet daily to avoid serious consequences.  Notice if there are any cracks, sores, discoloration or pain on the skin.  Wear the right size shoes, keep feet dry.  Use moisturizer, but do not use extra moisturizer between toes.  Be careful when dipping your feet in warm water, using electric blankets, heating pads and radiators.

  Those who have asthma or shortness of breath should be more careful at this time.  This is because fog, dust or flower pollen floating in the air can increase the difficulty of breathing.  So the mask should be used when going out.  In addition, it is important to wear comfortable winter clothes to avoid colds.


 Proper diet, lifestyle control and physical activity in addition to these three, consult a physician to determine the level of insulin or medication by regularly measuring blood glucose levels.
