Will the weather change affect the disease control of diabetic patients?

Many factors may affect the control of diabetes, and weather change is one of them. If diabetes is not well controlled, patients' resistance to weather changes will decline. When the temperature changes, patients are prone to other diseases. These secondary diseases interact with diabetes, making diabetes difficult to control and secondary diseases difficult to cure. It is difficult for diabetics to control their blood sugar in winter. This is mainly due to the cold winter, which stimulates the secretion of adrenaline in diabetic patients, and adrenaline can promote the release of sugar stored in the liver, and also reduce the absorption and utilization of sugar by muscles and other tissues, leading to an increase in blood sugar.

Besides, the most important festivals in China, such as New Year's Day, Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, are all in winter. Some people think it's hard enough to control your diet all year round, so you should be "better" to yourself during the Spring Festival. In this way, it is easy to relax your diet control and stop physical exercise under the persuasion of others or the induction of the outside world, leading to blood sugar fluctuations. Therefore, diabetic patients should pay more attention to the monitoring and control of their condition in winter.

Similarly, summer also has a negative impact on the control of diabetes. Mainly because the hot weather in summer may affect patients' diet and sleep, and then affect blood sugar control. In addition, there are many kinds of diets and fruits on the market in summer. Some patients can't stand these delicious temptations, and eating sugary cold drinks with the idea of taking chances, or eating a lot of fruits with high sugar content, may also cause blood sugar fluctuations, which is worthy of attention.

So, what effect does mental stress have on diabetes control?

People are different from animals, and people have complex thoughts and psychological activities, so psychotherapy is very important for diabetes control. On the one hand, mental stress may cause illness fluctuation, on the other hand, blood sugar fluctuation will cause mental stress and cause a strange circle of nausea. Mental tension, anxiety, anger, fear, etc. It will enhance the excitability of sympathetic nerve, the concentration of adrenaline and adrenocortical hormone in the body will rise sharply, the blood sugar level will rise, the decomposition of blood lipids will be accelerated, and even ketosis will be caused. On the contrary, elevated blood sugar and ketone body positive will increase the psychological burden of patients, make patients flustered and further stimulate sympathetic nerves.

We should take a two-pronged approach to deal with this situation. On the one hand, we should persuade patients to remain optimistic, emotionally stable, psychologically calm and calm; On the other hand, we should actively look for other reasons that cause the fluctuation of the condition and correct them, so that blood sugar can be controlled satisfactorily as soon as possible.
