During the Spring Festival holiday, the melon fruits and snacks at home are relatively rich, plus the big fish and meat on the table, all the "sweetness" suddenly burst out. But for sugar friends who need to maintain ideal blood sugar levels, in the face of the temptation of various foods, what should diabetics pay attention to during the Spring Festival?
First, a healthy diet, light and less salt
Diabetics first of all, in accordance with the usual rules, three meals a day regularly rationed, eat some chicken, fish and lean meat, eat more vegetables, try to avoid drinking, and do not eat too much when going to the banquet. In addition, modern medical research has shown that excessive salt, which has the effect of enhancing amylase activity and promoting starch digestion and promoting the absorption of free glucose in the small intestine, can cause increased blood glucose concentration and aggravate the disease. Therefore, diabetics should not eat more salt.
Second, adhere to monitoring, work and rest rules
Diabetics should measure blood glucose regularly, adhere to the regular taking or injection of hypoglycemic drugs, because the ability of diabetic patients to regulate blood sugar significantly, often cause blood sugar fluctuations, do not forget to take drugs or disrupt the usual treatment arrangements because of visiting relatives and friends or receiving guests. At the same time, pay attention to the regularity of life, do not be too tired, do not spend the night watching TV, playing mahjong or other excessive entertainment activities.
Third, pay attention to keep warm and keep moving
Diabetics are prone to complications, especially cardiovascular, eye, limb complications, so choose suitable shoes, pay attention to the warmth of the feet, choose breathable and sweat-absorbing pure wool and cotton socks, try not to walk barefoot indoors and outdoors. Wash your feet with mild soap every day, the water temperature should not exceed the surface temperature, the foot should not be soaked in water for more than 5 minutes, pay special attention to washing the skin between the toes, and gently dry it with a soft towel after washing. When bathing, warm water should be appropriate, avoid too high temperature, and pay attention to prevent limb injuries.
During the festival period, it is also necessary to pay attention to appropriately increasing exercise. During the festival, it is often inadvertently excessive calories, eating more and moving less, resulting in an increase in blood sugar. Therefore, a walk after a meal, or a family and friends going out for a walk, will help to maintain a pleasant mood and lower blood sugar. However, diabetics should pay attention to controlling time and intensity in these activities, and it is generally beneficial to relax activities in about 30 minutes.
The dangers of diabetes
The harm of diabetes to material metabolism is mainly due to the relative or absolute lack of insulin in diabetic patients, causing serious disorders of glucose metabolism, accelerated decomposition of fat and protein, a large number of ketone bodies, insufficient oxidation of tissues, timely regulation and discharge of ketone bodies by the lungs and kidneys, significant increase in blood ketone concentration, the occurrence of ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar non-ketotic coma, the case fatality rate is extremely high, and urgent treatment is needed. In addition, diabetes is also more serious to the kidneys, diabetes can cause kidney damage. Diabetic kidney disease is one of the main microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, with an incidence of about 20%-40% in diabetes. Lesions mainly involve renal small blood vessels and glomeruli, causing proteinuria excretion and filtration abnormalities. Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease, which is uremia, so it is particularly important to prevent the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy.
During the Spring Festival, the wine is sweet, do not covet the cup; the flesh is sweet, do not eat more. Don't let the sweet life become a burden of health
Department of Endocrinology, Binyi Hospital
The Department of Endocrinology of Binyi Hospital is the largest endocrine and metabolic disease diagnosis and treatment center in Lubei area, integrating medical treatment, teaching, scientific research, preventive health care and guidance of grass-roots level endocrine metabolic disease specialties, attaching importance to clinical, teaching and scientific research work, and research directions include pituitary diseases, thyroid diseases, diabetes, parathyroid diseases and bone diseases, adrenal gland diseases and gonadal diseases. Research covers all levels of epidemiology, clinical medicine and basic medicine. This discipline has an academic team with excellent medical ethics, reasonable talent echelon and professional structure, exquisite business, courage to work hard, and independent innovation ability.
The department outpatient clinics include specialized outpatient clinics and diabetes education clinics, of which specialties include diabetes, thyroid, adrenal gland, metabolic bone disease, pituitary and gonadal diseases, etc., which directly serve clinical research. Establish the National Standardized Metabolic Disease Management Center (MMC) to provide comprehensive management for every metabolic disease patient through "one center, one-stop service, one standard". Among them, it is equipped with advanced Omron arteriosclerosis detection device, Omron visceral fat measurement device, Topcom's mydriatic fundus camera, Newomes nerve conduction velocity measuring instrument, etc. to screen for complications such as blood vessels, fundus and nerves.
In addition, multi-disciplinary combination treatment of diabetic peripheral vascular lesions and diabetic foot can be used to intervene in the vascular intervention of the lower limbs, change of dressing, debridement, etc. For thyroid diseases, 131I is used to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, ultrasound-guided thyroid puncture for early diagnosis of thyroid disease, ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules. Patients are monitored for bone densitometry and bone metabolism indicators, early screening for osteoporosis, and early diagnosis, intervention, and treatment. For hypothalamic-pituitary, adrenal and gonadal diseases, a standardized, systematic and full-process integrated treatment plan is formulated. Through humanized "3H" services and "star" services, we carry out various forms of disease health education and build a harmonious department.
