Can diabetics go out to play during the Spring Festival? According to "10 Great Health Tourism Law", there is no problem.

"Every time there is a holiday, the number of outpatients after the holiday will increase by about 1%. Lin Jiahong, an attending physician in the Department of Metabolism, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said. Because during holidays, it is easy to live irregularly, stay up late and screw up the meal time, but if you don't adjust the time of taking medicine, it will easily lead to hypoglycemia.

Glucose is the main energy source for metabolism of various tissues and cells of hypoglycemia risk organisms. The metabolism of brain tissue is quite vigorous, but there is no way to store energy. It must rely on continuous and sufficient glucose supply in the blood to maintain normal metabolism.

Lin Jiahong said that if the blood sugar level in the body is only 50~60mg/dl, the body will have symptoms of autonomic nervous disorder, such as rapid heartbeat, trembling and cold sweat. If the blood sugar is lower than 50mg/dl, it may lead to hallucinations, nonsense, and even coma or brain function damage in severe cases.

But on holidays, when people eat, drink and have fun all night, and their work and rest change greatly in a short time, blood sugar will fluctuate. If the time difference of traveling abroad is added, it will take a while for the body to adapt, and the medicine and food need to be readjusted according to the local time. You must seek the help of a doctor, not "do it yourself".

Furthermore, there are many complications of diabetes, such as diabetic foot and retinal problems caused by poor blood circulation, which are usually well controlled. However, when you are away from home, you may have problems because of carelessness, especially when the New Year has nine consecutive holidays, and it takes longer and it is easier to relax. When traveling, pay attention.

10 Great Health Tourism Law 1. Plan ahead.

Pay attention to the local climate and weather when planning your trip, calculate the time difference and the detailed time for eating and sleeping. It is best to consider the error of commuting, discuss with the attending doctor and nutritionist how many drugs to prepare, whether to replace long-acting or short-acting drugs, and what can and cannot be eaten in foreign dishes.

2. Pay attention to the medication time

If you eat out later than scheduled, don't take medicine first to avoid hypoglycemia. It's best to get ready for dinner, and then take medicine when the meal is already in front of you to avoid hypoglycemia. But if I can, I still hope to eat and take medicine at the standard time as much as possible. I'm really worried that I can't take my medicine regularly. I can ask the doctor to prescribe some spare medicine for my relatives and friends to take with me. On the one hand, I can remind me to take medicine, on the other hand, I can avoid losing my medicine.

Exercise your limbs properly.

In addition, diabetic patients should be careful to prevent the occurrence of diabetic foot because of poor blood circulation, get up and exercise their hands and feet when they have the opportunity, and avoid sitting for a long time causing venous thrombosis of lower limbs, leading to pulmonary embolism and high mortality.

Timely replenishment of water

When you are away from home, you may be busy with your journey and forget to bring water. You may be careless without drinking water for several hours, but lack of water will lead to an increase in blood sugar concentration and increase the chance of urinary tract infection, so remember to drink at least 100~200 water every hour.

Take care of fragile skin

Because diabetic patients have poor blood circulation, feet or * * * skin are also prone to chapping. Remember that if you go to a dry place, you should apply emulsion for maintenance. When taking a bath or soaking in hot springs, you should also pay attention to whether there are any wounds on your body and pay attention to the water temperature. Don't be too hot, soak for too long.

6. Pay attention to the change of temperature

Diabetic patients are prone to cardiovascular diseases, or frostbite of fingers and toes due to improper warmth, or pay too much attention to warmth. As a result, their skin was burned by heaters, warm bags and electric blankets. Always pay attention to the changes of their body temperature. If the blood vessels of hands and feet float and change color, keep warm immediately, and don't stick them on your body with heaters, warm packs or electric blankets.

7. Preservation of drugs and test substances

Generally, oral hypoglycemic drugs are fine, but insulin, blood glucose meter and blood glucose test paper can not be placed in too cold environment, and may break down or fail. Moreover, if the insulin is too cold, it may cause an allergic reaction at the injection site. Make suggestions.

8. Prevention of infection

It's the peak season of the flu. 654381October 7, the global influenza epidemic report updated by the World Health Organization shows that countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia have entered an epidemic period. The epidemic situation in most provinces of Chinese mainland continues to rise, and the municipal disease control bureau under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province has also warned that an outbreak of H 1N 1 is likely to occur during the Spring Festival. When going out, you must pay attention to wearing a mask and washing your hands frequently, and try to avoid going to a crowded closed space and eating cold food to avoid infection.

9. Pay more attention to blood sugar

There are too many uncertain factors when going out. As long as it is convenient, monitor blood sugar at any time and replenish food, water or medicine in time.

10. Bring a snack.

When waiting for the plane at the airport, or waiting for the bus, it is likely that hypoglycemia will occur because of missing the meal time, or because of great physical exertion when going out. If you really don't have time to eat, remember to bring some snacks to avoid hypoglycemia.
