It's freezing, people's appetite increases greatly, and all kinds of delicious food make people salivate. Faced with delicious food, in this case, diabetics must bear in mind that diet control is the basis of diabetes treatment. In winter, when the temperature drops and sweating decreases, it is easy to increase the secretion of various digestive juices and increase people's appetite, which is also one of the factors that increase blood sugar. Therefore, patients with diabetes should make a scientific diet plan according to their own situation under the guidance of doctors, control staple foods and avoid desserts. Hungry people can increase non-staple food such as bean products and dairy products, and eat more fresh vegetables to meet their needs.

Eat less hotpot

When the weather gets cold, people like to eat hot pot, such as instant-boiled mutton and stew. However, if the hot pot is cooked for a long time, the content of purine substances in the food is high, which is easy to cause diabetic complications such as hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis. People with diabetes should eat less. We can make scientific recipes under the guidance of doctors, control staple foods such as rice, flour and starch, and avoid sugar and sweet cakes. If you are hungry, you can increase non-staple food such as bean products, milk and meat, and eat more fresh vegetables to meet the demand.

Prevent a cold

Cold is an important factor to aggravate the condition of diabetes, especially for elderly patients. A seemingly mild cold may worsen the condition. There are four ways to prevent colds: ① practice deep breathing at ordinary times to promote whole lung exercise; 2. Insist on full-body exercise to enhance physical fitness; 3. Wear masks and hats before going out in cold weather to avoid sudden irritation of the respiratory tract; (4) Pay attention to the ventilation of the bedroom, but it is not advisable to lower the room temperature too low.
