Therefore, sufficient water intake is of paramount importance at this time. However, the drinks we commonly refer to, such as ion drinks and sports drinks on the market, have a bad effect on diabetic patients.
Professor Hong Jun-hwa of the Department of Endocrinology at Eulji University Hospital in Daejeon emphasized, `We should refrain from drinking beverages because high blood sugar can lead to dehydration and rapid blood sugar rise and dangerous situations.' In particular, sports drinks quickly eliminate thirst due to their fast absorption rate, but they are easy to interfere with blood sugar control because they contain 60 to 80 ㎉ of calories per can. Therefore, even if you eat it, it is better to drink it with water or ice as much as possible.
In addition, many zero-sugar drinks have recently been released, and the use of artificial sweeteners among dogs can cause blood sugar problems or abdominal pain, so you should look at the ingredients and drink them carefully rather than eating them with confidence.
Diabetes patients are more suitable for diabetics because cold water or barley tea does not contain calories or sugar than beverages. Cold green tea, cold black tea with lemon, seaweed soup and cucumber cold soup in the refrigerator also help quench thirst.
For diabetics, feet are always subject to special care. This is because the most common disease of diabetes complications appears first in the foot and if not managed properly, complications can occur, and in severe cases, the foot must be amputated. In particular, in beaches and valleys, even if you neglect your attention a little, it is easy to hurt your feet, so you need to be careful. No matter how hot it is, it is recommended to avoid sandals that are prone to stabbing by glass pieces or pointed stones and wear soft socks with comfortable shoes as much as possible.
In addition, diabetic patients should pay more attention than healthy people because they are prone to athlete's foot or eczema in hot and humid weather. You should check your feet at least once a day for scratches, stab wounds, blisters, etc.
Professor Hong Jun-hwa said, `If your skin is peeled or blistered, it is desirable not to disinfect it alone or apply ointment arbitrarily, but to visit a hospital immediately for treatment" It is recommended to visit a hospital to be treated rather than to treat yourself because a split heel can cause bacteria to penetrate and add to the gap.
Regular and proper exercise helps to control blood sugar and prevent diabetes complications. However, exercise also requires attention.
First, it is recommended to check your blood sugar with a self-blood glucose meter before exercising. If your blood sugar level is more than 300mg/dl before exercising, you should refrain from exercising. This is because exercising in such a state is more likely to worsen the history of the day. In addition, if your blood sugar level is less than 100mg/dl before exercising, it is recommended to eat some snacks before exercising to prevent hypoglycemia. It is recommended to exercise after 1 to 2 hours of meals as much as possible, and if you have been given insulin, it is recommended to exercise at least an hour later. When exercising, prepare some sugar, such as candy and juice. If you experience symptoms such as ▲ dazed mind, ▲ blurred vision, ▲ sweating, ▲ shaking hands, or ▲ losing strength in your body while exercising, you should immediately stop exercising and consume sugar. In addition, it is recommended to avoid exercise during the hot middle of the day or at night, and to check blood sugar changes due to exercise by measuring blood sugar after exercise or during exercise.
