New Year season, diabetic patients should be noted
This not only affects health but especially with diabetes, this is the danger of lead to raise or lower blood sugar suddenly, very dangerous if not emergency in time.
To stabilize blood sugar and ensure healthy happy New Year, the patient should note what, what food should eat, should be limited? BS.CKII Tran Van Hai (Chairman of the Patients with diabetes club – Cho Ray Hospital) has some advice:
Patients with diabetes should avoid many foods high in fat, especially away, proof bread, spring rolls … should only eat small amounts. Tet holiday, the food is pretty much, family dinners also heartily than on weekdays with more attractive dish that can make patients difficult to control, eating too much increases the blood sugar. Thus, the need to regularly check the blood sugar only if your blood glucose measurements at home.
Limit the absorption of simple sugars in foods contain many such as candy, jam, chocolate, syrup, soft drink … as simple sugars quickly absorbed into the blood should also very easy to raise blood sugar. Complex sugar absorbed more slowly, in the fresh fruit, starch such as rice, noodles, pho, noodles …, food processing by the application of more doctors to balance the absorption of powdered sugar in each meal. Should eat more fruits, vegetables to increase fiber load has good body, has helped conditioning glucose in the blood, stabilize blood sugar.
Drinking too much alcohol also cause hypoglycemia. In the Tet holiday, the psychologist must have “eaten away villages” new fun, not to say no, this is not recommended, especially for patients with diabetes. If a party should notice everyone is sick to their friends, guests departed without pressure to drink. Absolutely no alcohol with medicine diabetes (Buformin, Metformin) because that can lead to Antabuse effect, pull the signs of increasing heart rate, high body temperature, nausea or vomiting, low blood pressure … dangerous for patients. Hypoglycemia may also be due to poor diet, inadequate meals, vomiting, diarrhea or overdosing …
If going away, traveling, patients need to remember to bring enough medication for the preventive trip. In the water can easily buy drugs, but abroad, can be very difficult to find places selling drugs, if not master English, roads, location. Prescriptions should be divided into two small bags, always carry with you a prescription, a prescription for the luggage compartment in case of emergency they can immediately take treatment or miss time this court that the other court users. Save your phone number to contact a doctor if necessary for advice.
Bring some cakes, candy, sugar diet for diabetic hypoglycemia case unexpectedly.
Be careful with strange food, foods based on ethnicity, regions can contain more fat, sweetener, do not fit people with diabetes, are best told before the processing.
Also, note eating habits of each country if you travel abroad, many of the meals and snacks where they do not like us, local time zone is changed … so you must also adjust the medication, drink now, now injecting drugs accordingly. Need to reduce the dose injection or not consult a doctor before.
