1, autumn health care for diabetes
(1) Don't stick autumn fertilizer blindly.
In autumn, it is often said that people with diabetes should not blindly take supplements, but insist on controlling total energy and balancing nutrition in diet.
It is suggested to increase the proportion of coarse grains in staple food, eat more than 500 grams of vegetables every day, and choose meat with less fat, such as lean meat, skinless chicken and fish.
(2) Moderate exercise
The weather turns cold in autumn, and people's outdoor activities are reduced, but diabetics should still insist on moderate exercise to ensure the stability of blood sugar.
It is suggested to choose light-intensity exercise, such as walking, Tai Ji Chuan, jogging and cycling. Exercise for 30 minutes every day. It's best to take a few pieces of sugar before going out to exercise in case of hypoglycemia.
(3) Pay attention to keep warm
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in autumn, so diabetics should pay attention to cold and warmth, and increase or decrease clothes in time to prevent colds. Diabetic patients have weak anti-infection ability. Once they catch a cold, it is easy to induce lung infection, leading to a sharp rise in blood sugar. At the same time, some cold medicines can also cause blood sugar to rise.
It is suggested that diabetic patients with cold should strengthen blood sugar monitoring. If they feel unwell, they should seek medical advice as soon as possible.
(4) regulating emotions
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that it hurts spring and grieves autumn. Autumn scenery bleak, some diabetics are inevitably depressed. And emotional instability can lead to blood sugar fluctuations.
It is suggested that diabetic patients should pay attention to regulating their emotions. When the weather is fine, they should go out for a walk more, or cultivate more personal hobbies, such as playing chess and raising flowers, which can relieve bad emotions in time and help control the disease.
(5) Don't scratch your skin.
The dry weather in autumn, combined with the damage of high blood sugar to nerves and blood vessels, diabetic patients often feel itchy skin, but don't scratch the skin at this time. Because diabetics have weak anti-infection ability, scratching the skin is easy to cause infection.
It is suggested that diabetic patients can use some emollient lotions or humidifiers to increase air humidity and relieve skin itching and discomfort. In addition, controlling blood sugar is the root cause.
(6) Be careful when soaking your feet.
The temperature drops in autumn, so it is very comfortable to soak in hot feet at night. However, for diabetic patients, perennial hyperglycemia may have caused neuropathy in the feet, which is not very sensitive to pain and temperature. Soaking their feet with hot water may cause skin burns and loss of consciousness. Moreover, ischemic diabetic foot, soaking feet with high-temperature hot water will aggravate tissue ischemia and aggravate the condition.
It is suggested that diabetic people should pay attention to the water temperature when soaking their feet, and the appropriate temperature is about 37℃. Dry your skin in time after washing your feet.

Diabetic patients should pay attention to cultivate their own good psychological quality and maintain a good mood.
(2) Adjust the diet structure in winter
In winter, when the temperature drops, sweating is relatively reduced, and the secretion of various digestive juices increases, people often involuntarily increase their food intake, and a strong appetite easily leads to an increase in blood sugar. There are also some patients whose diet structure is unreasonable, who blindly pursue a fine, high-fat, high-protein and high-calorie diet, skip breakfast in the morning, make do at noon, eat hard at night, have insufficient energy during the day, have overnutrition at night, and the risk of diabetes in winter will increase significantly. Therefore, diabetic patients should pay attention to control and adjust their diet structure in winter.
(3) Proper exercise
Exercise is an important part of comprehensive treatment measures for diabetes, and it is also a measure to enhance the cold tolerance of diabetic patients, so diabetic patients must not refuse to exercise because of the cold weather in winter. In winter, diabetics can choose corresponding exercise according to their age and health, such as jogging, walking, playing Tai Ji Chuan, ballroom dancing and other fitness activities, which are also very helpful to stimulate insulin secretion, regulate blood sugar and stabilize their condition.
(4) Prevention of virus infection
When the temperature drops in winter, it is easy to reduce the resistance of respiratory mucosa, especially pharyngitis, sinusitis and bronchitis in diabetic patients, which are prone to lung infection. Virus infection can cause allergic reaction to damage pancreatic β cells, resulting in diabetes syndrome, which is the main cause of type I diabetes. Therefore, in winter, diabetic patients should be actively treated once they have a cold and various inflammations.
(5) Cold protection and heart protection
Diabetic patients often have autonomic neuropathy of the heart, and their sense of external stimuli becomes dull. When coronary artery blood supply is insufficient, they often have no feeling every day. Therefore, diabetic patients should pay attention to keep warm from the cold and add clothes in time.
